You know, I was expecting this to be overdone. I was thinking this would have so much ginger, that I would not be able to stand it, and that it would be added to the pile of teas to send out in a sampler box.
I walked into the store and it smelled like candy. Not a single spicy note reached my nose, just sweet and lovely pear, overwhelming and scent the tea leaves may have had.
The ginger did come out in the end, in the form of a subtle after-kick. The pear wasn’t as strong in flavor as it was in scent – it was absolutely there, but the white tea underneath wasn’t overpowered by it. I found the tea quite refreshing; for me, this is the best TotM that DT has released since Chocolate Macaroon in May.
