This is a lovely tea and I am often reminded by these blends how much I like honeybush. It should be more common in tea blends. It tastes a bit like a graham cracker but in dried plant form.
I can taste the fruit although I wouldn’t immediately say “kumquat”. My teas are getting a bit older and I’m also not someone who eats a lot of kumquats. It does remind me of apricot and marmalade. I think this in on par with what I should expect from a citrus-type fruit like the kumquat but I think the flavour could have been a bit more distinct. I found it blended in a lot with the base (although, this is not always a bad thing).
The honeybush is, of course, quite sweet, but also has a flavour similar to bran and woodchips. It is Earthy and a bit woody in a good way. I’m drinking this cup with some vanilla soy milk because the tea itself doesn’t have a lot of creaminess to it. I would have liked more vanilla and something to make it creamy like oats.Flavors: Apricot, Fruity, Graham, Honey, Woody
