Okay, okay, so I had to get the Schitt’s Creek teas from Harney. Mostly for the tins, but I was surprised to find that this blend (for the Rosebud Motel) and the Botanical Blend (Rose Apothecary) are both actually new teas. A lot of times it seems like Harney just packages their existing teas into decorative tins, sometimes with a slight change as in Gingerbread Festival and the Williamsburg Ginger Cake (tastes the same but with orange added).
This one is a cinnamon roll black tea, which I don’t think they have another version of. It’s not at all similar to Hot Cinnamon Spice, as it doesn’t have that intense Red Hots cinnamon flavor. It’s quite mellow, actually. I’m surprised by how much I can taste the icing/glaze part of the cinnamon roll, and then there is a buttery element as well as the mellow cinnamon. It’s nice! A bit thin, so I might try two sachets for a 12-ounce cup next time and see how that goes (normally I do 1 sachet per 8 ounces). Honestly kind of reminds me of a Simpson & Vail tea in that aspect, earthy base and a bit thin ha ha.
(ETA: It looks like Botanical Blend is the same as their Mind Your Body Lemon Balm Chamomile, but still didn’t find anything similar to this tea.)
Flavors: Butter, Cinnamon, Earthy, Icing, Pastries, Smooth, Sweet, Thin
Ooh intriguing!
ooh, I was interested in this collection but not sure whether it was worth it!
I couldn’t pass it up with the 20% sale ha ha, plus I wanted the azuki bean tea. :P
OH I’m so glad you grabbed the Schitt’s creek collection. It made me chuckle when I saw Harney’s e-mail, for sure. Especially as the show hasn’t been on for a few years now!
Cries in Canadian Shipping Prices
It’s a Canadian show! facepalm
Feels like Canadians should have first dibs/accessibility.
Well I am always willing to forward things if it’s cheaper! Whenever normal Canada Post operation resumes…
It appears that the Tropical Green from the Schitt’s Creek line is the same as the Tropical Green loose leaf that has been around forever. This one sounds really good, and Superanna asked for the Rose Apothecary blend for Christmas. The fact that the base is thin makes me not want to try this one although I had really wanted to from their description. Salted Caramel broke my heart with its horribly anemic black tea base, and I am afraid this one would do the same. It might even be the same base.
And yes, they repackage their teas under new names. Hot Cinnamon Spice and Hot Cinnamon Sunset were the same tea in different packaging. IIRC Bug Red Sun is just loose leaf Royal English Breakfast, and Titanic Blend is….Palm Court, I believe?
