It’s tasty. The sparkles are fun. And I love honoring Sir Elton John!
The base oolong reminds me of Tie Guan Yin, and the persimmon adds a subtle and nice fruitiness, though I sort of wish it came through just a little stronger somehow (as in, trying to resist the inclination to pick at the persimmon pieces and deprive future brews of it..). Otherwise, I think it would be a great introductory blend to folks who are initially biased towards East Asian non-blends.
