Wine has never really been my thing, so I was going to make a point of avoiding this one (particularly as the last tea I had that reminded me of wine (Elderflower Spritz) was far from being my favourite). However, the dry leave of this one smells amazing, so I had to give it a go.
Really glad a did. While this does have a bit of a spiced, warm, sangria vibe, it still fails to really remind me of wine. It’s more just Christmas time by a fire with your family or a good book (which is obviously a good way to describe a taste). Overall, it’s predominantly cinnamon and orange, but if that’s how somebody described it to me, I wouldn’t be sold. It’s both light and heavy at the same time. I’m kind of not sure how to describe it. It’s a Christmas tea; I don’t think I’d want to drink it any other time except November or December, but it’s a very good Christmas tea.
A note on the oolong base: It’s not really there. If your after this because it’s an oolong, buy a different tea.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Fruity, Orange, Spices
Maybe that’s why I subconsciously steered away from this one; Elderflower Spritz really turned me off too. But I’m glad to hear it’s not bad. I shall pick some up next time I go.
I would say it’s definitely worth a try!
