From A Quarter to Tea

Eggnog Pound Cake:

The only thing that could possibly make a winter-y cup of eggnog better is to bake it into a cake. Or a pound cake in this case! White peony tea works as the base for this creamy, cake-y tea accented with a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon.

All orders come in resealable packaging and include a reusable muslin cotton tea bag.

Ingredients:

Organic White Peony tea, calendula petals, ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg, sprinkles, natural flavors

Brew and Size Instructions:

Use 1 tbsp for an 8 oz cup
Steep for 5 minutes at 180F water

You really need to let this one cool down in order to pick up on any background flavours. I don’t get any classic eggnog spices from this (was hoping for some nutmeg), but I do pick up on a super light, creamy vanilla eggy note. It’s more like vanilla soufflé than cake. Or, I once tried making one of those mug cakes in the microwave and it ended up tasting really eggy. This sort of captures that type of dessert.

Yummy yummy! It’s light sweet snow covered coconuts! I know milk/cream notes can be a bit tricky to get right, but this is fresh and tastes like coconut. It’s creamy and delicious. Even better as a latte! I’m finding a touch of almond milk really makes QTT flavors spot on! It’s lightly sugary and lightly creamy. I love how Lauren uses a light hand with the flavors, she has really been bringing me around to flavored tea!

I’ve been hearing a lot about this shop lately and with good reason too, their decadent sounding teas are absolutely delicious. I picked up their chocolate lover’s sampler as well as a few holiday blends during their Black Friday sale and have been happily sipping on them since they arrived. This blend in particular hits all of the right notes for me. The White Peony tea used as a base adds a delicate baked flavor and gives the tea a slightly creamy mouthfeel. There are hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, and the sprinkles add just enough sweetness to pull everything together. The overall flavor reminds me of the eggnog I buy every year from Sassy Cow, one of our local dairies. I think A Quarter to Tea really hit the mark with this one, I can’t wait to dig in to the rest of the blends I purchased.

So I’ve never been a fan of white tea, but I couldn’t resist the description of this. What do you know, it actually does taste eggy-cakey (and it has a delicious cake smell too). Also there are some nice vanilla custard notes. The white tea doesn’t get in the way here, since the other flavors are strong enough that I don’t notice it much. This is a soothing tea to unwind with.
