Sil, you little pu-erh pusher, you! Thanks for the sample. I’ll admit that I was a little frightened when I saw it amongst the other samples. Pu-erh usually makes my taste buds cry. But hey, this actually smells like cinnamon bread and not a barn, so let’s go!

I’m already halfway through my Nordic mug, and it’s not like I’m forcing it down either. It’s seriously like cinnamon bread! A quiet bready note behind freshly ground cinnamon and a pinch of sugar. I’ve said this about a tea before, and can’t remember which one, but this smells like my grandma’s cinnamon twists, while she’s in the midst of making them, dough and a bed of cinnamon sugar mixture.

No pu-erh weirdness. Whoa! Mind blown. Finally a pu-erh I would actually want to have around. I think Tea Desire’s Cinnamon Star is still my favourite, because it’s more like a cinnamon bun with icing, but this is actually a very close second. I’m amazed at how mellow the base is. It just lets the other notes sing.

Thank you so much, Sil!
