drank Spicy Pear by Joy's Teaspoon
735 tasting notes

I got this in Joy’s Teaspoon’s going out of business sale. Always a shame to see a tea company disappear.

I love how “spicy” doesn’t just mean cinnamon in this tea. There are also whole cloves mixed in with the cinnamon chips. Clove isn’t listed in the description, but it also says it’s made by an outside blender, so maybe the description isn’t up to date or something. Not that it matters anymore, I suppose.

This came out a bit milder than I expected. I’m definitely going to have to be more heavy-handed with my scoops. The pear flavor takes a backseat to the spices. But it’s there and it’s nice. I can taste both the peel and that sort of rich note that makes a ripe pear so good.

Anyway, if you want to try this, you’d better be quick. There’s still some in stock, but I don’t know for how long…

I remember going to Butiki’s site and seeing their announcement they closed. It is sad. :(

It sounds lovely. I hope I get to try it soon, since I’m still waiting on mine and it’s been over two weeks now.

Tabby

@Orphia Oh, that can’t be good. Have you emailed them?

Orphia

@Tabby I did a little over a week ago, and was told that they had printer problems so all orders were on hold. Since then I haven’t heard anything else.

After 10 years on Steepster, I have given up. The lack of maintenance, updates, and mobile compatibility have finally discouraged me. I still use my Cupboard and add teas to the database, but I won’t be logging teas anymore.
