I’m not sure if I tried this tea before. It was part of the advent calendar of ‘12 and has been in my cupboard ever since. Right after it steeped it was full of little glittery gold pieces moving around in my cup. I see where it got it’s name! I took one sip when it was still hot and returned to the cup when it was cold. Sadly, the glitter show had ended but I was left with a nice caramel flavored cup. When the cup is low enough I’m able to stir it and swirl up the glitter again. The tea is very smooth and I enjoy it, but I’m not getting any cinnamon, clove or orange and maybe a bit of vanilla. If I had been buying this tea based on what I thought it should taste like with those ingredients, I’d have passed. I’m not sure if it is a result of the tea being old, but whatever it is, I like it!
