Punainen Bambu is a beautiful infusion of unusual flavours Elina sent for the holidays. This blend has the most amazing taste that is like almonds, but comes from a mix of dried bamboo leaves, carrot pieces, bella flowers (which resemble prairie wildflowers) with notes of tumeric, ginger and licorice. It is exotic, calming and inspiring. I have never tasted anything quite like it before and hope The Ounce continues to carry it and make others like it.
I give this blend unlimited stars, and it makes me think that the best teas are being made in Finland. Thank you Elina for sharing something special!
Happy New Year!

Elina sent me this dreamy tea from The Ounce in Helsinki that tastes somewhat similar to the Sweet Lily White tea, so I am posting them together and she can comment. While they have different ingredients, to me they both have the taste of honeysuckle that I am enjoying, or it could be the lemon grass too.
I am not sure what all of the ingredients are in Treasure of the Incas and will write more soon as I discover them. I am brewing the tea for only one minute, and prefer it hot to warm, rather than cold. This is a complex tea where the warmth holds the flavours together.
The inviting blend is friendly from the opening of the package, with an earthy scent that has a quenching taste. The vibrant colors are ethereal while the texture has a feathery feel. It is quite magical; Elina always finds very special things that spark the imagination and are inspiring. This one is wondrous. Thank you Elina!
