My first Whispering Pines tea!
My first whiff of the dried leaf strongly reminded me of dried cranberries and nori.
Then I thought I followed directions by putting 1/2 tsp in a cup of water. Later as I was thinking Brendan must like his tea weak, I realized the bag actually said tbsp. doh.
I will use less water on the resteep.
The scent of this tea is crusty whole wheat and rye bread. Crusty on the verge of burning even. I love my bread crust like that. Mmm bread. I also get the dark cocoa, but it’s more savory than sweet. Man I’m hungry.
I gulped this down pretty quick. Now I’m warm. :) let’s see if I can get more flavor out of these leaves with less water this time.
Mmm steep 2 is warm toasted bread sprinkled with dark cocoa. Lovely.
Excellent tea for the price. It will be perfect once winter rolls around.
Glad you like this! Just a secret…this will be changing very soon. Be on the lookout for the new one :)
Changing?! :o can’t wait to try the new one!
yep…it’s a huge favorite of mine, and now i love it even more :D
