This one smells very pear-like dry. Steeped it starts smelling like a mix of juicy pear and green apple/green apple candy.

The flavour is quite good. It’s a tiny bit floral and mostly pear. Lex said “This tastes just like juice. Warm juice.” We made this pretty late, so what remained of our cups got thrown into the fridge.

This morning this was great chilled. I would say the exact same pear/green apple flavour, but with the faintest hint of chalkiness. It wasn’t overly distracting though and it was just in the background.

Thank you Cameron! :)

Bio

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).
