Needed a mid-afternoon pick me up and haven’t had this in a while.
No one else mentions this but as delicious as the tea smells when brewing the dry tea bag smells grungy and murky to me and is off-putting
Taste is simplistic, I’m not picking up the nuances I have come to expect from black tea but there is decent sweet vanilla flavor at the forefront rounded out by an edge of cinnamon at the end of the sip.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Vanilla
Hello!! I’m so happy I found this site!!
I’m Haley and here are three random things about me:
-I took Ancient Greek in college, i’m generally fascinated by words, language and translation
-I bike to work everyday and love physical fitness
-I’m a stony hippie
I’ve recently become obsessed with tea after moving back to my rainy Northwest hometown after a two year stint in the dirty south with my boyfriend.
In the South, I drank exclusively unsweet iced tea. It was survival.
For the past few months I’ve delved back into the world of hot teas and I have so much more exploring to do. I am ashamed that I haven’t tried more loose leaf tea and intend to try anything I can get my hands on! I would love to swap!!
When I’m drinking tea you can expect that it has a small amount of honey in it or nothing at all.
I rarely use dairy but may pour a splash of almond or coconut milk in a chai or dessert tea.
Favorite flavors: cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, peppery, spicy, chai, holiday/fall flavors, grapefruit, citrus, lemongrass, matcha
Can’t stand: star anise, fennel, licorice, overpowering mint, red fruit teas served hot
Want to try/ haven’t found a good one: the green that makes my heart beat faster, chocolate, grapefruit, coconut, berry/fruit, your favorite earl grey, your favorite chocolate
I drink mostly hot green and black tea, have a strange relationship with rooibos and have only tried white tea iced.
<3 Tell me about yourself and your favorite tea!
