Magic of the forest in Finnish style.
I will start with weakest point of this (and sadly other TakeT) tea. The base is bland and boring. It works only as a background. It doesn’t have much of flavour, it is very flat too.
But luckily, the fruits deliver the flavour. It is quite tart (I assume I had lots of chokeberry in), there are certainly both currants. A bit sweet, but also tart red one, and tart and a little chalky black one. Sadly, I haven’t noticed much of juniper, so I will try to crush the berries next time to get pine-y flavour of it. It is also a little bit floral, I guess because the rose.
It isn’t a tea I would call: must-have, but it is interesting change of pace and different point of view of blending teas.
