This tea has quickly claimed the top spot amongst all the teas I've ever had!
The smell is a wonderful mixture of sweet floral notes and a delicate spiciness that, combined with the wonderful glittery indigo color, leave me feeling relaxed before I've even taken a sip.
Unlike a lot of teas, which can have a subdued flavor when compared to their aroma, this one delivers what it promises! A warming, sweet, spicy, mouth coating sensation that leaves my soul feeling whole!
I love the blend of flavors in this one! I added a little raw sugar and it brought out new notes. I’m a fan of ginger and this tea has a great kick of ginger without it overpowering the other flavors.
This is a lovely tea to sip in the afternoon; enough caffeine for a pick me up but not enough to keep me awake all night.
I'd love this tea if it was only kind of flirty, but as it stands I get my smut on AND it soothes my throat when I've been overusing it ;)
(Let's be real, that mostly means after I've been crying in a therapy zoom call but shhh let me have this)
Brewed 3g, ~300ml for 3 minutes. My immediate reaction to the first sip was a big "oof, what is that?". The ginger came out REALLY strongly; subsequent sips really all I could taste was ginger, and ginger skin, like some earthy-woody-strawish notes behind it. Couldn't really detect the cardamom or goji taste-wise, but it was present in the brew aroma. The liquor color is pretty, and it definitely is a "warming" brew, just not in a way I really expected.
