Um.
I’m thinking that sTEAp shoppe teas just do not age well at all. This was surprisingly watery, even with milk and even with pretty big amount of leaf (almost 1 tbsp. to 12 oz. water, when normally you can do 1 tbsp. to 16 oz. water).
It just was thin and bland, which I know is not the tea I’ve had before. There was no fabulous bready notes, no real cinnamon either. Overall a disheartening cup. I’m a sucker for the idea of a cinnamon bun-esque tea and I thought this was it so now it’s back to the drawing board, I guess.

Heh, I probably have some of this aging poorly somewhere too.
What kind of packaging is it stored in when it’s sent from Steapshoppe?
@Tea Sipper – I don’t think its much to do with the packaging – this one was in a tin. I honestly think its that there are a few perishable ingredients (agave nectar, cocoa nibs, maple crystals, etc.) that have lost their spark over the months.
Maybe the tin had a lot of space/air in it? Otherwise, that’s too bad. I was going to order four ounces of it when I eventually order, but maybe I should just go with two ounces.
