I was so pleased that this was after the Winter Cabin Chai. Marshmallow Assam sounded sweet and, well, safe. LOL! I was wrong. This tea was sadly a miss for me. I don’t say that often about black tea blends from 52teas because they’re usually quite exceptional. I think the black tea in this blend is just too bold for the marshmallow root. It was really quite strong and assertive, and, while I don’t mind that from a black tea blend, it really overpowered the marshmallow note. I’ll give it another go as a latte; maybe a bit of dairy will make it a bit less robust.
This is You :-D
