Was feeling indulgent today after a late summer swim, so this was a particularly appealing choice as I keep making my way through the TTB. The flavors are a bit muted without any fixins, but a touch of sugar really brings them out. I’m getting toffee and caramel, not so much fudge, but it’s a mellow and enjoyable dessert cuppa. I added oat milk to a long second steep, and the creamy element was a nice complement to the flavors too. I really appreciate that this uses a white tea base for this flavor profile rather than a black tea, as so often happens. It supports and complements the flavors without overpowering them, and I don’t have the same stomach issues with white teas that I often have with black teas so I can drink this without worry. Win!
