Lupiressmoon drank Apple Cinnamon Warmth by Plum Deluxe

308 tasting notes

This is definitely a warming, comforting tea! Was a free bag during a promotional deal if you ordered a certain amount, so I grabbed it while I could.

The first steep was too weak, so I steeped a bit longer. The apple is very light and this is fine ,not a surprise, but the cinnamon comes through if you steep longer. I added a tsp of their Honey Dust to sweeten, and then added in a slice of fresh lemon, which really brought together the fruitiness and fall feel. Also, since its winter, that feel as well ;)

I am wondering how they could blend with their Maple Blend, or some Pumpkin Spice Chai from Fusion teas. Hm. It would be a nice blender tea if you are inclined for that. I couldn’t imagine iced, did this one hot and comforting, but your mileage may vary.

I did not get the orange or the orange spice, although when adding lemon later it enhanced the citrus taste. I tried for a bit before adding the lemon, but mainly sensed cinnamon and warm black comfort tea.

I have a drink obsession in general – daily lattes and coffees, and of course teas of many varieties. I mainly drink hot tea in Florida, but still enjoy the occasional southern sweet iced.

My preference is black tea, although I’m open to trial and error with others. I like the old fashioned English style tea cups, tea parties, food pair-ups, mini desserts and pies, cubes of sugar, small collection of Rose Red tea pets, you get the idea. I will always have an old fashioned tea kettle on the stove, but have recently purchased an electric tea kettle that I absolutely adore. I’m lazy by nature, so I have switched to stuffing tea bags for the loose teas to save on clean-up and disposal with other strainers.

I love smokey teas, non-bitter, not overly astringent, strong tea background mixed with flavored teas, no artificial sweetener tastes, balanced florals IF there must be a floral. I used to love spice, but it has to be done right. A former chai fan – now it reminds me of colored pencils. Cinnamon sounds good but so many teas have it artificial or odd tasting. Same goes for chocolate, some things have to be done just right to work.

Most missed tea place and tea: Plum Brandy Cheesecake by Butiki

Very picky with anything Roobios, and Darjeeling/Oolong are hit or miss depending on the blend and my taste buds. Mint works in a mood but I’m not a big fan. Gravitate toward good name blends and fall themes when doing yet more sampler orders.

I like adding a cube of sugar to almost all teas, not usually milks. I don’t like stevia or any artificial sweetener taste. I adore honey, but to me it doesn’t suit tea unless I have a sore throat as both the tea and the honey change their flavor profile quite a bit if I mix them.
