I liked this tea a lot more than I thought I would. Anything that lists “cinnamon and clove” immediately makes me worry, because heavily spiced teas are rarely something I enjoy.
However, this is a subtle cup. I found myself savoring the flavor. Light, slightly astringent finish, absolutely gorgeous red liquor (so glad I have clear teacups for this one), and I noticed that my scratchy throat that I get after dusting went away much faster than usual after sipping this blend, which is an added bonus. (Am saving my second Steepster Select packet for an afternoon when my throat is itchy again to see if that was coincidence or not. It’s just a soothing cup either way, so good to have if you’re feeling a bit tired after working!)
