Going through the last of my Teavivre samples in anticipation of sales next week. Maybe it’s the high rating or loving everything from Teavivre so far, but my expectations were pretty high on this one. Kiiinda disappointed. It looks and smells a lot like Golden Monkey, but tastes so mild and just… I don’t know. Mellow? It is a nice flavour, not particularly sweet, maybe a bit hay-ey/earthy. I just don’t like it nearly as much as Golden Monkey which has a smokiness to it that I dig.
I think I lean towards teas that bludgeon me over the head, whereas this is more like a gentle caress.
