This flavour of this blend was really, really interesting sounding to me (fig/vanilla), so I was very intrigued to try this tea out even though I wanted to keep my expectations in check. I was worried it wouldn’t taste distinctly like fig at all. However, this was quite nice! Very smooth with that sort of sweeter brown flavour of a fig paste with a creamy vanilla finish. To my delight, it is pretty figgy – just less in a “fresh fig” sort of way. I enjoyed it, though! Especially because it felt a little more on the indulgent side despite really not being very sweet at all. Such an interesting flavour direction given that fig really isn’t a super commercial fruit flavour in the tea world at all…
