The dry leaves have a nice sweet almond smell.
The liquid is very strong with the almond and a hit of fruit afterwards. I started out liking this cup, but I think for me the almond was just too much. I do like almond but more as a compliment to the tea and not the main note. I think I’ll mix the rest iced or add it to some black tea to spruce it up.
I’m starting to think that where they went wrong with the 12 HoliDays set is that all but one is herbal. I think there needs to be some tea added.
Tomorrow is Ginger Lemon Bash! I’m very excited as I love ginger. I recently had a Lemon Ginger Oolong that I didn’t think I would like because of the lemon – but it’s very good.
This is a very odd tea. I didn’t know quite what to expect, and the plum flavor is more tart that I expected. The almond flavor is more of a fresh, nutty almond, rather than a marzipan almond. Adding milk and sweetener did help to add a little smoothness to the cup, but it’s still just kind of indescribable in a way. I wish the marzipan stood out more than the plum, and this one would maybe be a winner for me. Thank you, Skysamurai, for this fun sample!
-Dry blend has a mixture of dried fruits and nuts with pieces of rose petals.
-Dry leaves smell like almond marzipan with a sweet fruit note. Tea liquor aroma is of candy marzipan and cinnamon.
-Tea liquor is a clear bright reddish pink color.
-Tart plum flavor with a nutty almond finish. Light fruity plum aftertaste with a tiny artificial taste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Fair tea. Fruity plum flavor with a fresh almond note. Very faint artificial note.
If you like almond flavored things you will like this tea. I wish it had more plum flavor as that’s what I was expecting from the name, however, I feel it is too much overpowered by the almond flavor. The dry smell is quite nice but the steeped smell reminds me of vitamins.
Yeah that definitely sounds like it needs a good black base.
