A sample from Dustin!
I’m mostly getting a vanilla/carmelized sugar flavor, followed by a very mild candied orange. No coconut, pandan, or spices. Apparently it’s also a green/black blend, and I’m definitely not getting any green tea flavor. Overall a tasty cup of tea and I’m very glad to have tried it, but I don’t think it’s something I will repurchase.
One of the Ette teas samples I received from Dustin.
I was looking for something to brew for the Lunar New Year and realized that it was tomorrow and I didn’t really have a tea that seemed fitting. I was debating between this one and Holiday (Harney & Sons) This one had a more colorful dry leaf based on the photo. I still made this cup today.
This one reminds me of an orange spice tea but it’s nice and soft vs. the typical in your face spice tea. It has Pandan in it which is not something I’ve tried before but have been curious about. I don’t know what Pandan tastes like but there is kind of a vanilla custard type note. that could also be from the coconut. It’s a bit drying as well. This is a fitting cup since Orange Spice type flavors tend to make me think of Winter and we may get up to 10 inches of snow here. Yay for snow!
Still just striking me as your average French melange blend that features orange. It’s nice and has an almost caramel undertone, but it’s really not something amazing or unique which is what I look for when buying teas that take effort to get from overseas. This blend will not be a reorder.
I always have that issue with black/green blends – the green tea is superfluous and doesn’t really contribute other than making me worry about steeping parameters lol.
Yes! The combo never seems to contribute anything positive to a blend.
