Joon is a second collaboration tea blend with Chai Affairs! This tea blend centers around quince which is not only a fruit often used in jam but something used to bless new couples.
I’ve named the tea Joon, the Persian word for dear.
The blend includes black tea (orange pekoe), dried quince and cardamom.
While this is a black tea blend, it has a lot of quince so it’s not as strong and has hints of sweetness from the quince!
Company description not available.
This is Nazanin’s third tea blend, and I think immediately my new favourite of the three. The black tea base is bold with a medium to full body, and the cardamom just really packs a soothing, aromatic punch of spice. It is slightly citrusy and very camphorous with an almost pine sap kind of note to the finish. Despite the strong camphor, it’s overall a very warming blend which feels appropriate given that the word “Joon” is a Persian form of endearment, meaning dear. Used, I believe, the way you might affectionately call someone “my dear” or “my love.” I do slightly wish the quince was a little stronger, but a pinch of sugar/sweetener seems to pull forward more of those orchard fruit-like notes.
Overall, it’s an incredibly beautiful blend both in flavour and intention, and such a beautiful addition to the rest of Naz’s lineup!
