Additional notes: I’ve been drinking this ancientness because it tastes really good steeping the stove boiling method of brewing I’ve been doing. Despite never really tasting like white chocolate. But I’m enjoying the strength of the spices and black tea lately, especially on this snowy day. Almost sad to finish it! And yes, STILL boiling water on the stove but I have a new sinktop water filter on the way that will hopefully solve my chlorine water problem. Some of my oldest teas have been tasting really good lately, so that is some tea aging magic right there. I’m happy to drink some older teas before I have this water filter thing figured out. Soon!

Come to think of it, can you think of any teas that have a prominent white chocolate note? I feel like most that claim to have white chocolate fall short. Or end up tasting ultra artificial leaving a greasy film on top (like DAVIDsTEA blends, ugh).
I really haven’t tried too many white chocolate teas , I’m dark chocolate all the way (there really don’t seem to be too many). But you’re right, it would be a hard tea to do that wouldn’t be filmy. I enjoyed 52Teas White Grasshopper blend, so I’m sure if anyone can do a great white chocolate tea, it’s probably Anne.
I notice Culinary it still open so it is hard not to order this one again. sigh. I need to tell myself I can’t reorder a tea every time I finish a tea. sigh.
