This one is for all your floral black tea lovers out there, because this lilac is BOLD. It’s not a shy afterthought- it’s front and centre. Nice quality, unassuming black tea blend (which is on the astringent side) takes a backseat here. It’s just a vehicle to deliver a floral punch, both to your tastebuds and nose. To me, it’s very spring-like and delightful but I do love flowery tea.
I will say it is not at all “soapy” as some floral blends can be. I have never personally chomped a lilac bush but I’d imagine this comes close. I let my cup cool down and while it wasn’t bad, I’d say this is much better drunk hot. It is much smoother and harmonious that way.

I am burning a lilac scented candle as I read this, mad at myself for now wanting this tea because every sipdown I make has been immediately replaced with another tea and I am making no progress at all. Ha ha! Adding to wishlist…
