Hmm, rose and peach? Neither are flavours I enjoy in tea. I would go so far as to say I cannot stand rose, however, new teas are always exciting!

For reference, we picked out the wee candy hearts. The steeped scent is actually growing on me as the tea cools enough to try it. Maybe a bit tropical?

Okay, this is bizarre, but I’m actually loving this! The rose has a sweetness with it that is so delicious. The peach lingers at the end of the sip, almost like a not fully ripe peach.

As it cools it gets more rose floral than rose sweet and that’s not my favourite, but I’m still enjoying this!

This is actually an enjoyable green tea and I very rarely, if ever keep green teas around. This one I may actually consider!

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
