Tea Advent Calendar – Day 3
Another new-to-me tea blend! I’m so glad Shae included steeping instructions, because even after only 2 1/2 minutes, this one steeped up STRONG! Like most Scottish Breakfast teas I’ve tried, this is a brisk and aggressive CTC black tea that can be a bit astringent on its own but mellows out nicely with a splash of milk. I don’t really get any marshmallow flavor, but the butterscotch does come through. It’s not strong, but a pleasant accompaniment to the base tea….more of a breakfast blend with benefits than a true dessert tea, if that makes sense. Not sure this is something I’d repurchase, but I’ll happily finish the generous sample Shae sent me!

That’s a shame about the marshmallow, but the butterscotch sounds amazing. This is one I actually haven’t tried yet, but I might have to have a cup soon. It sounds like something I would love.
Thanks for sharing! It’s so fun getting to try a bunch of new stuff this month. :)
