This seems to have fallen to the back of my cupboard. The out of sight, out of mind void. This mornings expedition has uncovered it! I’m starting the cup out without adding cream and there is a sharp bite to it. It fades a bit as the tea cools, but the first several sips were unpleasant. When it was hot I mainly got the bergamot, with a hint of chocolate in the finish. Cooling down unveils the chocolate more and more. I find I have to keep sipping this cup to enjoy it or the bergamot bite starts to take over. I’m caving and adding cream! It’s a bit more palatable now. The sharp bite is gone, but the chocolate now hidden in the sip and present in the finish.
I was just eyeing the Lupicia website last night, pondering an order, and was sad to see this tea was out of stock. Now that I’ve refreshed my memory about it, I feel much better. My opinion further into this bag of tea could change, but right now I don’t think it is a reorder once done.
