Every sip of this is a sea of pepper, citrus, and smokey tang. I’m rarely a fan of flavored teas, but this is one of my exceptions. It is an amazing tea because of the galangal flavoring that is added. You get so much of the galangal’s peppery flavors and pine smoke flavors that I’m guessing is from the way they dry the tea on the galangal. I love how complex and punchy this tea is and it leaves your mouth salivating.
While I really love this tea and it’s been one of my favorites, I’m not going to recommend it. I don’t like how Ketlee will change their prices and uses sales to trick folks into paying more. While I haven’t seen the price of this tea change, one of the others I really liked recently went up 575% and was then listed with a 50% off sale. I don’t feel comfortable recommending this if there’s a chance it comes back with an insane price tag.
Flavors: Citrus, Fennel, Pepper, Pine, Smoke, Sweet
Thanks for the heads up. Ketlee is my go-to vendor for Nilgiri and Manipuri teas, and while I’ve never noticed what you encountered, I’ll be watching for this tactic.
