This was a freebie in my last Whispering Pines order. I was really excited to see it in the box!
The leaves are long, whole, and dark. They smell faintly toasted and sweet. Instructions said to scoop with a half tablespoon, so I did. The resulting tea is a warm, welcoming amber.
Flavorwise, this does taste pleasantly toasted. Almost like brown sugar or burnt sugar. The notes remind me of leather and sweet potato. It’s smooth and hearty and perfect for a breakfast tea. Whispering Pines never fails to impress with their quality and the complexity of their teas.
