This one is a bit of a disappointment, even though it was one I wanted to try more than most others from DF. Apricot, fig, plum, strawberry and vanilla!!! That sounds like my perfect tea! Some of my favorite flavors should be here! I love the idea of all of these flavors here, but the result of the brew isn’t much flavor at all. I can definitely taste SOME sort of fruit flavor, but it’s tough to pick out what they specifically are. I’d guess cherry if I had to. No vanilla. Simply fruit flavor on a black tea base that seems like Ceylon. I hope all DF black teas aren’t Ceylon bases.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoon for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep

I’ve found this to be true of a lot of fancy French blends involving a bunch of different flavors, including a few from DF. They’re generally still pleasant to drink, but these amazing descriptions just build up expectations that are hard to meet.
Definitely noticing this! Hopefully the other blends are less disappointing. But at least with the group order I didn’t have to order 100 grams of everything.
