I picked this up out of curiosity last year. I hope I haven’t completely stepped into “old lady” territory with this one. (I am starting to like medicinal tasting things more and more in my late twenties).
Preparation: Western
Tasting Note: So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this tea tastes sweet. The description mentions it is related to a lychee. I would say this reminds me of something medicinal, like tea made from prunes or dried apricots maybe? While I probably would’ve hated this tea as a child, it doesn’t bother me now. I was sort of attracted to this tea as it was said that like raisins these fruits have lots of iron in them.
Flavors: Apricot, Prune, Sweet
