This is illicit library tea. Before anyone gets on my case, please know that the tea is on the windowsill, FAR away from any books and/or my desk. And I create far less of a disturbance this way than by running between the library and my apartment every time I need to have some tea. Okay? Okay. (But whatever you do, don’t tell the in-house librarians.)
Last time I reviewed this, I said I’d probably adjust this upwards rather than downwards, if I were to change the rating. And I was right – after a week of being completely spoiled by all those new Lupicia teas from my lupicia.fr order, it was probably difficult to review this one independently like the shiny gem it is.
Again, scent wise, this is sheer happiness, all plum candy and sweetness. In the cup, there’s the added element of creamy, smooth vanilla – I know I’ve compared the Kiwi Vanilla from Kränku to a liquid version of kiwi fool, and this is definitely similar.
I would like to nudge this up another five after revisiting it, but I’m excited about trying it iced, too, so I think I’ll wait until then.
Boiling.
