I picked up a sample of this at the suggestion to try it from Bear With Me when we visited Janet yesterday. I have to be honest and say I am not the biggest raspberry fan, but the honey in this, at least the dry state, was WOW, and I thought it would probably mellow the parts of the raspberry I don’t like so much. And I was right. The honey is the dominant flavour of the tea, with the juicy raspberry underneath. Now, as I was on my way to work, I did add milk to this as I was unsure of the astringency of the base, however, I would like to try this without milk. I think the milk may have masked too much of the flavour. I also suspect that this would make an excellent cold brew, especially refreshing when the weather is warmer.
I’m grateful for the suggestion and am glad to have tried it.

Oh my gosh that sounds amazing.
I can save you a few spoons from my sample and send with the Bird Pick stuff. I need to see if I have your address in my FB message history so I can get it out to you.
<3 Also, I really need to start planning another trip to the Island! Maybe I’ll be able to find a place to crash so I won’t have such a LONG day and I’ll be able to go walking and stuff too.
Whoops. I killed that with my heart. Haha.
That would be lovely! I also need to start thinking about another trip to Victoria. Maybe when my school teacher friend has some more time to hang out as well.
Yes…I was talking with Bear With Me about setting up something maybe for April?
I have Saturdays off now…so it makes it easier to meet up on a weekend now.
April might work! OMG, I could get ALL THE THINGS in April. Tea club sharing, Sil visit, Victoria trip, birthday. :D :D :D
Would you like for me to hold the stuff I have for you til then? I can easily mail off before then though. Whatever works for you.
Since I’m not sure about April (I will try, but with work and my neck there’s no guarantee) it might be better if you mailed stuff.
Sounds good. I have a few other packages to try to get out this week, so I’ll try to get it to you soon.
