Pro-tip on this tea: it’s ridiculous at $30 for two ounces. It also qualifies just fine for your free ounce of loose leaf tea if you have a Starbucks reward.
I went in with a reward and I said, I have no idea what I want. The salesperson grabs this and says, if you’re going to use a reward, then GO ALL OUT!
It’s a very interesting tea. I think this the only method I would use to get some to drink because the price is still waaaaaaaay too steep. Obviously, since it is Teavana.
My favorite thing is earlier this week I accidentally oversteeped it. It wasn’t bad. It tasted more like a malty black tea then.
When you steep it right though, it’s so smooth and buttery. It’s funny that it tastes like black tea if you oversteep it because it’s just normally a very mellow tea. I mostly taste honey from it, the floral notes they say there are I don’t get.
I’ve not had the opportunity to try resteeping it but I will probably bring it home from work at some point this week so I can do that.
Also it’s incredible how big the twists of leaves are in here. I have to pick out the tea with my fingers and guess for measurements because I don’t want to break them! They’re absolutely gorgeous.
Hahaha “GO ALL OUT”! That’s funny :P And totally the right way to do it! That’s what I did with my davidstea points, got one of the most expensive teas :P
