A.C. Perch 2022 Advent Day 4: Green Cherry Blossom
There was a decent number of rose blossoms in the dry leaf here that I picked right out. No thanks! Thank goodness I did because there was still a not-so-subtle rose flavour that came into the steeped tea. There was a definite cherry flavour up front, with a rose-y taste nearing the end up the sip. The cherry become more and more prominent as the tea cooled, which was nice, but the rose never let up.
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).
