From an ETTE blend this is kind of a busy tea – but it’s nice! I wish I took more conscious notes in the moment because the flavours felt quite layered. More of a mineral and bitter roasty top note that reminded me a lot of coffee grounds following by a just slightly disconnected buttery oolong – same as the oolong base in the other ETTE blend I reviewed not too long ago. In as long as it took me to process that there was some dissonance with the flavour, the disconnect had passed and the sip was finishing with a thicker and more sweet coffee and cream/vanilla type note. Very decadent send off flavour wise for what starts a more robust and tea forward blend. It’s interesting and enjoyable, which is exactly what I want in a blend. Things that make me excited for that next cuppa…
