My boyfriend and I drove to Solvang a couple of weeks ago. Nothing was open except for a few shops and bakeries, but it was nice to get out of the house. I bought lots of incredible pastries and some fresh bread, and stopped at the Solvang Spice Merchant. I’ve been extremely interested in herbs/spices lately, plus they had tea! I bought a couple spices, as well as this tea. It was pretty expensive ($11/ounce). But, I was interested in the flavor profile, and I’m all for supporting small businesses.
It has a lovely, strong amaretto flavor. The flavor is as I expected. The base tastes like a standard Assam. Both the amaretto and cinnamon are light.
This is You :-D
