1962 Tasting Notes
This reminds me of a peach lavender candle I purchased years ago that I absolutely love. I won’t burn it since it’s not made anymore and just sniff it occasionally.
The apricot/lavender combo here smells amazing, though I wish there was more of the stonefruit in the flavor. I mostly get really herbaceous lavender, which just a touch of the fruit. This blend would be incredible if the flavors were more balanced.
Flavors: Apricot, Herbaceous, Lavender, Stonefruit
I had been wanting to try Simpson & Vail for many years and just never got around to it. Since they released an advent this year, I decided it was time and placed an order for that, along with a gift and a few other teas.
This smells absolutely amazing. Like honey coated lilacs. It tastes lovely too. Really strong honey and lilac flavors. Really impressed with this, especially for the cost.
Flavors: Honey, Honeysuckle, Lilac
This is fine. Generic red fruit black tea. Probably wouldn’t purchase again.
But, realized this has catnip in it. One of my cats absolutely lost her mind trying to steal the used teabag and stick her head into my brewed cup.
hah! That tea should definitely come with a warning for cat people! Also, maybe those other “mint” teas that cats were interested in were really secretly catnip?
If you’re wanting a more rose-forward chai, highly recommend Hill Station from The Chai Box. It was too rosy for me, heh heh…
Vanilla Rose Chai by Portal Tea is quite nice too.
Mastress Alita – I was just about to look through my notes and find which Rose Cardamom tea I have had and it is the one you mention from Portal! It was good.
