Sipdown (2326)!
So, the main reason I ended up placing this past Bird and Blend order was because of their new zodiac collection. I definitely didn’t want to blindly commit to 100g tins of everything, but I did want to try them all so I picked up the sachet sampler, which has a single tea bag of each one. I’ve been enjoying casually sipping through them all this past week – in no particular order.
This is one of the few that, based on the ingredients list, I might have been tempted to order for myself. Ultimately I’m glad I didn’t, but I did think it was a nice enough tea. It’s a black tea base with a light addition of tropical passionfruit. Definitely not nearly as much passionfruit as I’d have liked though, and what I did taste was a little bit on the flatter side and not the lively, tangy passionfruit I might have hoped for.
However, fans of the Mariage Freres or Dammann Freres style black tea blends with subtle fruit additions may have better luck with this – it’s basically a breakfast blend with that subtle tropical nod.
