This is my top favorite herbal tea. I think it’s seasonal, or they discontinued it or something, as I haven’t been able to find it again anywhere. I adore the toasted chicory flavor. It’s kind of nutty and I vastly prefer it to rooibos as an herbal tea base. It takes milk nicely, and has a strong cinnamon sweet flavor. This is my very last bag, so this is a sad sipdown.

I got this as a sample in my recent order and I am plesantly surprised. I’d tried a Tie Guan Yin from another company and didn’t care for it, but this one is very nice. It has the most pronounced flower smell of any oolong I’ve tried yet,and that comes through in the brewed tea, too, along with an earthy flavor. I haven’t noticed the creamy taste that others have mentioned, but it’s definitely a smooth tea. Looks like I’ll have to give Tie Guan Yins another try!

The smell of the dry leaves reminds me of raisins, and brewed tea has a mellow, slightly tart smell. I was surprised at how noticeable the fruity flavor is for me. It’s pleasant, and I think it would probably make a nice summer tea. I think I like a little more malt or toasty flavor in my black tea than this, though. I’m not madly in love with this the flavors in this tea, but it’s pleasant and I’ll happily drink it sometimes.
