I looked into my cabinet with all of my teas in it this morning and felt completely overwhelmed.

I’m going to be bringing several boxes of my bagged stuff into work to share with coworkers and also force myself to sip them down.

This was the first one I brought today. It’s a seasonal blend. Not as good as it sounds. The base is very bitter and overpowering, and the saltiness of the flavoring only exacerbates that. I can taste caramel fleetingly, and then maybe the merest suggestion of milk chocolate. It tastes… flat. Like most bagged teas.

Maybe I’m weird. I like my flavored black teas to have a mild base. I just feel like it allows the flavors to come out more.

I will not restock next fall, but I am glad I gave it a try nonetheless.
