Hello communiTEA drinkers,
Today we have Forest Friend!
A blend from the Ghibli Movies fandom!
What are your thoughts?

This was delicious. It surprised me because I am not a Jasmine fan. Somehow this blend was just perfect. Having a low level of caffeine is a nice aspect, also. It is a mellow tea.
Re: May 10th Discussion
When I found out the name of the tea, I wanted to like it on principal alone. Unfortunately, I tend to avoid fruity teas.
It smelled a bit like medicine at first - not entirely unpleasant, but unexpected for someone who normally drinks black teas. The fruit kept the tea from becoming bitter, which was lovely. I ended up passing this one to my teenager because it really was a bit like drinking hot juice to me.
Admittedly, I'll probably still purchase a tin for him to drink and me to add more to my Ghibli stash (written as I sit at the computer in a No-Face tee).

I so wanted to try this tea but I'm allergic to roobois. It makes my mouth and throat itchy. 3 of the teas this week have roobois.
