This tea sounded really good and Cameron B graciously offered to send me some!
I tried it first with Ashman as a huge pot with bagels for breakfast. Since it was brand new to me I didn’t do my usual two steeps put together thing, but drank it full strength.
It was very good, but neither of us got fruit or flowers. I asked Ashman if he tasted fruit and he said not at all. I thought I tasted burnt caramel and he agreed that was spot on.
But we were supposed to taste something else, something fruity, so I tried it again the next day for breakfast when I was alone. I used 205F water instead of 212F and took the steep time down just a tad. And there it is! Baked apricot!
It was ever bit as good as I thought it would be! Thank you so much, Cameron B! It was a great tea and fun to try!
I wish I got apricot and caramel ha ha, I mostly get orange blossom!
