I had been wanting to try both this and Violet Cream, and planned on getting them in the Boxing Day sale. Sadly they both sold out. But, I was lucky enough to have someone in the Bird and Blend FB group offer to send theirs to me. Yay!
The dry leaf is full of freeze-dried raspberry pieces, and is quite lovely to look at. Brewed, this smells like raspberries…and cheese. There’s a hint of soft, creamy blue cheese (like a cambozola). It’s not bad, just odd.
No blue cheese in the flavor. A nice, strong Assam at the forefront followed by a mild jammy raspberry.
This is You :-D

I also wanted to grab this one and it sold out. I’m so happy you got to try it! :)
