Last free sample. It smells very fruity, mainly of peaches, stonefruit, then mango. Although the aroma has a strong peach, the taste is not. It definitely has the peach flavor, other stonefruits, but the mango and pineapple notes are about the same. It comes out kind of weird though like the flavors are muted. It also has a strange aftertaste that lingers in my nose. Of all of the Lupicia I’ve tried so far, this one tastes more artificial, not in artificial sweetness but in fruit taste, Maybe all those fruits do not go great with the base… Not sure what it is. It is astringent, not bitter and that’s not the problem.

The aroma is very nice, but the flavors do not rise to that level. Maybe it’d be better iced…

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
