Perfumes of Provence

Oof, that’s a lot of florals.

I don’t know if I seem to have enjoyed this tea as much as Daylon did, but I didn’t dislike it either. My first few sips were a little like drinking liquid potpourri, but then I acclimated. It’s very floral and I can see it being an immediate turn off to anyone who has even the tiniest sensitivity to rose or lavender. Especially the lavender. The bergamot also isn’t exactly light handed, though to Magic Hour’s credit they actually did a pretty exceptional job with not actually drowning out any of these florals with another. It’s strong, but pretty equally so.

I think I’d need to be in quite a particular mind space to reach for this one again though.

I thought this one was intended to be an oolong, but no, it’s a white tea for this month’s Wanderlust Collection. I was surprised there was no vanilla and expected a potpouiri vibe with all the flowers in it.

Trying it out, it actually nails a very balanced floral boquet in a clean glass of butterfly peaflower blue. Rose, red currant, bergamot, and lavender are the overall flavor with the chamomile base mending with the white base in a smooth clean body. The chrysantemum sweetens it, but thankfully, is not more dominant than the other florals. I kept coming back to it with just two teaspoons gong fu and tumbler style. Fortunately, I got a generous amount in my sample bag this time. It’s comparable to the Cancer blend and the Crown Chakra blend. This was actually what I wanted and hoped the crown blend to be like, so it’s a win.

It’s good coldbrew in a lazy tumbler style to. I could see myself finishing this one quickly. I still like Ravello a little bit more, but I also could grow more fond of this blue gem.
