This is smelling very perfumy when I open the pouch. Once it’s steeped my first few sips were very baby powdery. That taste would fade at the back of the sip and spiced apple would creep in the finish. The powder went away a few sips in, but there is something very perfume like that flashes at the start of the sip. I can pick up on the caramelized part of the apple, but the white chocolate flavors are eluding me at the moment. As it cools the perfume comes in a little stronger and the powder came back when I started sipping again. It’s very light and airy and I’m not getting white chocolate in there at all, but I think it’s likely a hard flavor to nail down in a tea. This is a really weird cup and not in a fun way, but an “I don’t know what to think about this” sort of way.
