Eggnog Europa

Eggnog Latte Sipdown (232)

None of my teas today (other than my matcha) said latte to me so when I wanted an eggnog latte, I searched my stash. This is one of the December 2019 teas so it seemed like a good idea to work through something a little older.

The latte used the whole package and ended up being really good. It has a nice balance of spices with cinnamon and clove standing out the most. The only other reviewer mentioned this tasting like a cinnamon pop tart, complete with icing and that’s fairly accurate tbh. Just add in some clove as well. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this, though maybe it’s because I had it at the same time as the Lavender Earl Grey so in comparison it was better.

What is happening? I don’t bloody know. This tea really comes out of left field. I assumed it would be a chai type option, because I didn’t consider what the ‘natural flavors’ would add to the equation. It does indeed smell exactly like eggnog with a splash of rum and spices in it. 100%.
But does it taste like that? No. 0%. What it does taste like, 100%, is a cinnamon poptart. Spot on down to the icing. And, it turns out, the experience of slowly drinking a cinnamon poptart is high on my list of great times. It doesn’t make sense! I don’t care!
This can be resteeped without loss of character or quality because despite containing black tea, it never makes itself heard.
