Florida Sunshine

Still slowly sipping my way through these coworker teas!

I’m… sort of on the fence about whether I liked this one or not? It’s got a strong orange note that’s closer to a very natural fresh squeezed orange juice flavour versus more of a candy or soda-type of flavour; but without any acidity at all. It’s sort of strange tasting something that has those fresh squeezed and “pure” orange notes but without that pop of juiciness that acidity would give it. It’s also kind of bright and kind of not? Like, the white tea is delicate and the flavour overall is also sort of delicate so it reads maybe a bit borderline like “flat” orange juice? But the taste is good. It just maybe feels unfinished because of the above reasons?

I don’t know. It left me very confused overall. Though, the one thing I do feel strongly is that the name is pretty on point. Can’t think of much else more Florida inspired than oranges – and the sun connection is pretty great too! Even steeped a pretty yellow colour, likely aided by the “turmeric sugar” in the mix.

Gut impression is that this would probably grow on me over time…
