Another sample packet that Lex surprised me with! This is the second time I’ve had this and try as I might, I cannot taste honey. To me this tastes like chamomile and rooibos. Not overwhelming rooibos, which is a bonus. There is maybe a bit of honey in the aftertaste if I stretch my imagination.
What’s more is that Lex tells me all she can taste is honey!
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).

I still need to try this one, I have a 20g packet somewhere.
Oh nevermind, it’s “Breakfast’s Ready, Honey” that I have…
Yes! I think I requested that one in our swap, which I’m excited to try!
