Meh. Something about the combination of flavouring and spices is familiar, though I can’t recall from where.
At two minutes and about 180c the cup is pretty light. Tangerine comes through, and the delicate white base along with a dusting of cinnamon. Dusty. Yes it tastes dusty. Almost malty, and I’m not sure what to make of it with a white base!
By the time I got to the cup it had mostly cooled though, and I generally prefer my whites as hot as they can be made. I’ll give it another chance.
Perhaps the second steep will reveal something else!

lol “dusty” that makes me giggle
It is!! maybe the cinnamon, being a powder, has trouble dissolving in the hot water? I’ve noticed that in cocoa before, how cinnamon just stays grainy.
Ok now I’m giggling to… :P
I organized my teas yesterday ….oh steeped and infused leslieville location is 50% off everything today including mugs, infusers, liber mug thingies etc… But I’m too lazy to leave my house….
ooooh yah I can’t risk going near there. Too much to get through as it is.
I’m on the second steep of this tea and it’s a little better! smoother
well that’s good..
Ah Sil, is that why you seem to suddenly be reviewing/adding a bunch of Steeped & Infused Teas? I have this weird feeling that I have a couple little bags from them, one a peppermint blend and another a bai mu dan (that’s totally crushed into pieces). My aunt had picked them up for some purpose last year…
Mostly I just happened to be there the other day and they have samples for less than 2$ a pop so I bought a bunch to try before I ever place an ordere
Chances are I won’t make it before they close down. Ah well!
Indigobloom….. if you try this again and don’t like it PLEASE LET ME BUY IT OFF YOU. This is delicious! Want more than the ~1 oz. I have! (And Sil seemed to like hers more than you…)
done! :)
