I had never really known what violet had tasted like previously, but its ambiguous flavor mended together the other two aromas and befriended its overarching purple essence. Now, I get to enter adulthood with a glistening bottle of GT’s spring edition Flavor, “Bloom,” literally in my hand and figuratively by my side.”įirst, notes of jasmine entered my palette, followed by a smooth, gentle taste of elderflower the flavor of this one-of-a-kind flower is calm, yet distinct, making for a perfect complement to the initial jasmine. Maisel, I cracked open the lid of “Bloom.” The colorful and upbeat title sequence of our favorite show had rang out as I commenced my taste test. After settling atop of blankets and switching on the finale of season four of The Marvelous Mrs. One more trip through the hasty parking lot and the white-out roads lead us back to safety-that meant the moment I had been waiting for was about to ensue. In my standards, the location in which the taste test takes place is vital to the overall experience, so I needed to hold off until we were hunkered down in Jessie’s abode. The glass settled into the blush of my palms as I scoped out the flavors that “Bloom” offered resting in a bed of lilac hues beneath the butterfly read the flavors jasmine, elderflower, and violet-how could this combo be any more perfect? As I reached to pick it up, an intricately designed butterfly fluttered into my grasp, holding the title of the flavor vertically in its torso-this was certainly one of my favorite designs I have ever seen etched on a GT’s bottle. Then, in the very bottom left corner of the GT’s section, I saw it: the spring edition flavor, “Bloom.”Ī glint of amethyst and lavender leaped into my line of sight, pulling my attention even closer to the bottle. We walked closer to the glowing chrome of the kombucha shelves, noticing nothing out of the ordinary. We acquired the candles we came for, but something inside told me that I needed to go check out the kombucha selection would there possibly be the new flavor awaiting my purchase? Once the automatic doors swooped open with chivalry, the bright lights and boughs of grocery store goods welcomed us. Instead, it was almost a reenactment of how the trip went when I first bought “Pure Love” back in January. I was anticipating the moment I would be purchasing the spring edition flavor, but I expected a little less snow and a little more sun. From the moment our feet met the parking lot pavement, high-speed winds and belligerent flakes of snow thwarted us-the antithesis of what the nearing spring season is supposed to bring. After all, GT’s had not made any Instagram posts alluding to a spring flavor, so I was trying not to get my hopes too high.Īfter browsing Trader Joe’s for celebratory food items, my best friend Jessie and I made our way to Meijer to scour their birthday candle selection for our miniature, yet decadent chocolate cake. Now, as I am shedding my seventeenth year on this planet, I have felt the need for a proper awakening-possibly something that could take the form of a new kombucha flavor for my looming adulthood.Īs much as I have relished the Winter Edition flavor, “ Pure Love,” I have had a subtle lingering thought about what the spring edition flavor would entail what would the flavors be? What would the packaging look like? What would the color scheme be? And most importantly, when would this flavor hit the shelves? Too many questions floated around my head about this unknown flavor, so I decided to be patient. Though I am seeking a warmer world, I continue to use cool bottles of GT’s Kombucha to cope, something that is very in character for me. I am desperate for spring, as most of us-at least in the Midwest-are.
