A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 9
I’m happy to say there’s no bitterness here and this seems like a fairly standard green tea. It’s not overly vegetal, or seaweed-y, like some of the Japanese green teas I’ve tried. If anything there is a hint of butter — very subtle. The cup is overall quite smooth (this is turning out to be the word for the entire A.C. Perch calendar).
I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.
Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.
I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.
I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).

I’m surprised you like it, I find gunpowder to be somewhat smoky and I know that’s not your thing heh heh.
I don’t get even one hint of smoke! I would’ve dumped the cup with even a slight scent of smoke haha!
Well I’m glad! :D
