A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 6
The dry scent is a nice mix of grapefruit and bergamot, but not too strong.
With a 5-minute steep time, I feared this would be drying in the mouth, but there’s absolutely no astringency whatsoever. I don’t know how they make these teas so smooth! The steeped tea tastes exactly like the scent and is delightful!
I would definitely order this one for my cupboard!
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).

Not gonna lie, I saw “Poutine” at first and was like… well that’s interesting. LOL!
Hahaha! Can you imagine!
