I was gifted a big tin of this and I’m low-key obsessed with it. While I generally find tealeaves to be overpriced, this blend sticks with me long after the sip. The kind of tea that just stays with you for days. I find it funny that they describe this as a “subtle hint” of vanilla – the vanilla is so strong in the aroma! The vanilla/cherry/grassy sencha combo just works. I won’t pretend that I can distinguish the gob-chi (goji) berry note from the cherry, but it’s one of those situations where the two flavors are pretty close so the result is just a juicy, lightly sweet, gently tart cherry. It’s good hot, it’s good iced, it’s just good.
