This was interesting, you could definitely taste the cheesecake, plum, and a hint of the brandy, but it was distorted with a bitterness that I didn’t remember being there when I first sampled this tea. A little bit of sugar fixed that, to a degree, but the bitterness remained. I don’t mind a straight tea being bitter, actually I really enjoy it in a lot of ceylon teas that I’ve drunk, but with a flavoured tea it can throw your palette off.
I followed the brewing instructions on the bag to a ‘t’. Still really delicious, the bitterness was just a little odd.
