So this was a sachet – it was at least filled with loose leaf and just repackaged in sachet form, but I definitely don’t love the sachets since you’re still losing that control of being able to measure out your own tea…
This was surprisingly good though; I didn’t think that the violet would actually come through in the flavour but it was actually quite strong. It’s weird because it’s definitely distinctly floral, but there’s also a sort of tangyness to it too? Maybe tang isn’t quite the right word – but this is actually the third violet tea I’ve had in January and they ALL had this sort of note/tinge to them alongside that floral element so whatever it is it’s definitely consistent…
I’m not sure yet whether I actually like the taste of violet in my teas or not…
Chocolate was tasty; very fatty and creamy like a good, higher quality milk chocolate. Had that sort of “lushness” in flavour of melted chocolate too. I think that’s a flavour that’s hard to not enjoy. Even as a person not SUPER into chocolate teas, I found myself swooning at how well it was conveyed in the cup. Plus, no weird oilyness to the mouthfeel!
