I want to like this so much.
Opening the tin is a delight and smells so wonderful.
This time I tossed the tea into my pot which still has the leaves I’ve been steeping all day. I thought maybe a bit of an extra base in there might help.
Freshly piping hot and it smells so good. Even the taste is good with that lovely warm ginger.
But as it cool the ginger steps back and the orange and especially clove take center stage. And I just can’t tolerate that combination. Actually I suspect its more the clove than anything else. I’m really developing a dislike for it.
Having this mixed with another black tea isn’t really making any difference.
I’m planning on another order next fall. I’ll have to give Gingerbread Festival a try and see if it suits me better.
