The first time I brewed this tea, I drank it under sub-par conditions (note to self: do not drink tea after eating nachos). This time I did it under better conditions (after breakfast).
I really wanted to like this since the dry tea is such a gentle, sweet smell, but this doesn’t really work for me. I think the culprit is the mix of vanilla and cloves – I like both flavours separately in tea, but together, they create this weird sort of muskiness that I dislike. I wish that the citrus peel flavour had been a bit stronger to counteract this.
Ah well. I still have about 1-2 cups worth left of this, and will not regret when it’s a sipdown.
