A sampling that I received from TeaEqualsBliss – thanks my friend!
This smells yummy! Fruity and sweet!
I am getting a lot of sweetness – as well as quite a bit of astringency from this cup, which makes for a bit of a dry aftertaste. The vanilla notes are subtle yet present. The grenadine is the strongest flavor of the cup and it’s yummy, but I wish it lingered in the taste. It’s more like a quick wash of grenadine with notes of vanilla and then an astringent dryness.
The second infusion of this tea is so much better than the first. Much of the astringency is gone. It’s not so tannic. The flavors really come through now.
