I made this both hot and cold steeped. I always managed to enjoy the hot version without making any notes. Alas, I do remember it was very tasty and easy to drink. The last cup, cold steeped, was absolutely delightful. The juiciness is apparent even in the scent, and the taste does not disappoint. The taste is just as sweet and juicy with flavours of blackcurrant, strawberry, and elderberries coming across. The base is great too, not adding any real flavour of its own, but supporting the fruits. Thank you Martin for such a great tea!

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, 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).
