A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 1

The first tea has a wonderful background and on top of that it smells amazing steeped. A mix of floral with sweetness, making me think of a high mountain black/oolong mix. There was a sweetness to this tea paired with an oolong flavour (I’m not sure exactly how to describe that — it wasn’t mineral/cardboard, but something else).

I made a resteep and it’s decent, but I don’t know that it’s really one I’d bother resteeping.

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, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

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).
