eerie tea
Crisp, bitter bergamot. One of the most on-the-nose tea scents I’ve met. Like sniffing a tin of loose-leaf Earl Grey. I don’t get an ounce of milk to it. There’s also something sweet stirring behind the tea note, drifting between lemon Lysol and a clutch of black sugar boba pearls. I got a similar “cleaning solution” note in Saturday too, and I think the purple florals are to blame. The lavender here unfortunately reads more air-freshener than pastoral Provence. A pity, for if I only got the black sugar syrup – I SWEAR I get this incredible tapioca note – this would have been an auto-buy. Longevity is average for me (~4 hours) and sillage is aloof.

Mental Snapshot: A spectral bubble tea joint, the only light on in the strip mall. Flickering fluorescents, pale purple linoleum. It’s ink black outside and they’re playing Lo-Fi Beats to Study To. The place is ghostly empty, but the scent of sweet, dark tea percolates through the air and the floors are polished to an ice-rink sheen. When you approach the register, you are surprised to find your order already waiting for you.
tl;dr: liminal teashop
