Thank you oodles to mtchyg for the sample!
I had a very strong anti-cherry stance until fairly recently. I associated cherry with cough syrup. But lately, I’ve been… growing as a person? Horrors. I hope that’s not it.
This tea is very bright and fruity and fun. It’s named after Nosferatu, which is silly, because it’s nothing like a vampire at all. It’s more of a fairy tea. But, you know, Vampyre Teas have a reputation to maintain.
Which reminds me of being a teenage goth. Every once in a while, I’d want to wear a color — but I’d feel like I was trashing my CREDIBILITY by doing so. I had to maintain a balance… so I’d wind up with some sort of shitty combo like a pastel blue GAP tee with black lipstick. Or a flowered dress with a GIANT DRAGON NECKLACE. The marketing for this tea is a little like that, a compromise that doesn’t quite land.
I think I under-leafed this tea. It doesn’t have as much kick as the dry smell would indicate. Next time, I’ll add more and re-evaluate if 80 is the correct number.
Flavors: Cherry, Sweet, Tropical

It might not be just you. I had issues with feeling like I was under-leafing as well. I could never get quite the umph I wanted out of it. Maybe if I wore a dragon necklace it would enhance the tea…. :p
I’m going to double the tea next time. It’s a sample. I’m GOING IN.
