Sipdown! (40 | 292)
So I’ve been going tea purchase crazy lately, I think because I’m already feeling fallish and it’s making me crave cozy autumnal teas. Fall and winter tend to be my really bad tea buying seasons ha ha. So anyway, I ordered from a couple of Etsy-based companies and this is one of them.
In retrospect, I don’t know why I ordered this tea in particular. I was mostly intrigued by her unflavored blended teas, but this one is very flavored and also has honey crystals.
That being said, it’s pretty good, albeit a bit oily. The banana tastes like banana chips, not at all like Runts, and the other flavors add a creamy desserty note that’s pleasant. The base itself (Assam apparently) isn’t great, it doesn’t have a ton of flavor and is a bit tannic at a 3-minute steep.
So probably not the best one to start on LOL, but I figured I would get it finished up.
Flavors: Astringent, Banana, Creamy, Sweet, Tannic, Thin
