A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 15

Wow, this tea is really lovely! It’s so incredibly smooth with none of the mineral-type flavours that some roasted-type oolongs have (though this isn’t roasted).

There is a delightful sweetness here, but yet it’s more of a light-medium body and not too heavy.

Lexa says “It’s light, elegant, delicious.”

The second steep almost smells like a black tea! It’s lost some of the magic, but still a good cuppa.

1st steep: 6 minutes
2nd steep: 7 minutes 30 seconds

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 6 min, 0 sec 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

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).
