Roswell Strange was nice to share some of her own blend with me. She suggested I refer to her posts to learn more about the blend and I learned a few things:
1. I have never experience static shock;
2. This was inspired by her bf at the time which is nice to be inspired by someone to make a flavorful tea;
3. This is blueberry, ginger, fennel and cinnamon; and
4. This tea hasn’t aged well and tasted like baby wipes the last time RS had it.
I don’t love licorice so this would never have been a favorite. However, the fennel/licorice flavor is not as offensive as I expected. Also, while I can see how this could be construed as baby wipes, it hasn’t quite reached that for me (thankfully). I get the cinnamon and the blueberry is underlying everything but not very present. This is warm and pastry-like. It is not my favorite tea but I am enjoying this much more than anticipated in light of the baby wipes and fennel.
Thanks for sharing, Roswell Strange!

When I had the blend created, I was definitely aiming for a sort of blueberry pastry kind of vibe – I chose blueberry because it was Haidyn’s (the BF who inspired the tea) favourite food/flavour, and then built the rest of the blend around it. I’ve gone through a bit of an emotional rollercoaster with this tea – it was something sweet, and sentimental initially then something that made me feel rather angry and bitter. Now I think it’s something that leaves me feeling a bit of nostalgia and melancholy.
