Sipdown
October Sipdown Prompt – a tea with an unusual name
This was sent to me a while back by Nicole – many thanks!
Looking at the ingredient list, I decided this was one that would probably be too floral for Ashman, so I saved it to drink by myself. I am surprised there is black tea as well as oolong in here. They are definitely light.
I liked this tea much more than I thought I would, as I thought it would be chamomile heavy and while I WILL drink it for the benefits, it is not a favorite. This tea has tons of floral flavor so it is well named, but the chamomile is very nicely accompanied by the lavender and rose. Those are the florals I taste in order, although the chamomile may be leading more in smell than taste.
The oolong is stronger than the black here and gives the cup a nice base so that you don’t feel like you are drinking a plain herbal tisane.
Not a personal favourite either, but I definitely have to give credit that the ingredients/visual are INCREDIBLY spot on for the character it’s inspired by.
