2024 sipdown no. 55 | This also works for September 22 – Fall Equinox: drink a tea for the new season. :)

This tea is decently strongly scented (S&V still beats it out though), and the scent comes across really clear in taste. There’s some cookie-ness, cinnamon, and hints of brown sugar. This is a really tasty tea that doesn’t come across cloyingly, and it even resteeps fairly well. For some reason, I found myself thinking of Brioche while drinking this — it seems to be at that level of quality.

Thanks for the opportunity to try another great tea Cameron!

Which S&V tea does it remind you of? I haven’t had very many of theirs and there are several that look worthy of trying.

I have a lot more if you would like it, ha ha!

ashmanra whoops — just how strongly scented this one is reminds me of all S&V teas (and how they must be aired out prior to being put into a cupboard) :P

ashmanra

Ah, okay! I understand!

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).
