Thanks to ToiToi for sending me this sample!
This has a fascinating scent dry. I can’t quite nail down what I’m smelling. Just steeping now.
Yes it’s definitely a toasted scent I’m getting once it’s brewed. Not too sure I’m loving the scent (though compared to the Pineapple Oolong from earlier anything is welcome).
Hmm I don’t think this one is for me. The toasted taste just isn’t sitting quite right.
A few of my favourite things: animals, the ocean, science (I’m currently doing my MSc in biology), travel, all things summer, and of course – tea!
I love chatting biology, so feel free to ask me about what I study or follow my instagram @biologistcourtney!
I love black teas and this is what I’m usually drinking. I pretty well always drink my tea without anything added.
I’m also fond of herbals, oolongs, and subtly flavoured greens. Whites are also enjoyable, and I’m always looking for a replacement for my all-time favourite Butiki’s White Rhino.
Pu’erhs, rooibos (specifically red, I’m more open to green), honeybush, and matés are not my favourite. I tend to avoid them altogether unless others find them so amazing they shouldn’t be missed.
Likes:
Creaminess, toffee, cacao (true dark chocolate flavour), coconut (true coconut flavour), and rhubarb. I’m open to flavoured teas but they can’t be cloying or fake/candy like.
Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, bergamot, flowers (rose and jasmine), hibiscus is hit and miss.
