Thank you, Trident for this extremely generous sample! Definitely the kind of tea I like. I should have ordered this over some of the more malty teas I got, though I’m going to have another go at all of them. Given today’s the Moon Knight premier, this was probably the most apt tea.
Before I get into their description, here’s what my senses found. Opening the bag, it was immensely buttery and floral, like I was smelling cooled sweet buns sitting out of the oven to settle before a meadow. I used my Gong Fu 2 Go tumbler, sipped it, and then let it sit around 2-3 minutes. First sip was floral nectar water, and the next steep was sweeter and rounder. It’s color was super faint and a little yellow, but crystal clear. My brain kept picking up on rose and sweet bread, but there were other distinct and very sweet florals emphasizing some very clear violet notes too. The aftertaste bordered on sucrose or white grape fruit juice or moscato, though I’d say fruity in the line of yellow, white and sweet green fruits.
Looking at their notes, basically the same, but they mention honeydew (YES) and grape juice. So, yeah. All in steep one. I will write more as I drink it. Either way, it’s exactly the kind of tea that I would usually be looking for and keep on hand. Fruity, floral, and therefore, ethereal.
