I really like looking at the dry leaf for this one too. The Pandan leaves have a most interesting shape, curly and twisty.

This blend has such a peculiar aroma. Pickles. I tried smelling for something else but that’s all that came up. It’s either one ingredient, or all of the ingredients’ aromas mixing together. Or maybe it’s my nose.

For me, the most interesting aspect of this blend is the color of the tea: raspberry blue near the top of the cup and a deep indigo at the bottom. Such an amazing shade. Very pleasing aesthetically. The tea has a thick texture, and, bizarrely, tastes of Fruit Loops. Sweet, sugary, candy-like, a little bit grassy – but mostly Fruity Loops.

There’s something about this one that trips up my senses. It’s one of the most unusual teas I’ve ever had. So no rating. Needless to say, I like it. Recommended for anyone who wants to try something different. I drank this twice before I wrote this review. It pepped me up each time!

Bio

I began drinking tea because its complexity fascinated me. I love learning about its history, its manufacturing processes, and its place in various cultures.

Japanese greens were my first love and gateway into the world.

My favorite teas are leafhopper oolongs, pu’erh (shou and sheng), and masala chai. My favorite herbal tisanes are spear/peppermint, lavender and chrysanthemum.

I’m currently exploring pu’erh, and any Chinese and Taiwanese teas in general. I’m not much into flavored teas, unlike when I first started. The only teas I truly dislike are fruity tisanes and the ones that have too much fruit. I do like hisbiscus, especially iced.

I like to write nature essays. I’m a birdwatcher as well as a tea enthusiast. The kiwi is one of my favorite birds. I also like Tolkien, Ancient Egypt, and exercising.

IMPORTANT NOTE, PLEASE READ: After two and a half years of having an account here, I will no longer will provide numerical ratings as an addition to the review because the American school system has skewed my thoughts on numbers out of a hundred and the colors throw me off. Curses! My words are more than sufficient. If I really like what I have, I will “recommend”, and if I don’t, “not recommended”.

Key for past ratings:

96-100 I adore absolutely everything about it. A permanent addition to my stash.

90-95 Superb quality and extremely enjoyable, but not something I’d necessarily like to have in my stash (might have to do with personal tastes, depending on what I say in the tasting note).

80-89 Delicious! Pleased with the overall quality.

70-79 Simply, I like it. There are qualities that I find good, but there also are things that aren’t, hence a lower rating that I would have otherwise like to put.

60-69 Overall “meh”. Not necessarily bad, but not necessarily good.

0-59 No.

If there is no rating: I don’t feel experienced enough to rate the tea, or said tea just goes beyond rating (in a positive way).
