I infused a little less than my normal amount of this because it looks like I can get one more cup after this…didn’t want to run out quite yet, ya know!? Even with the amount of loose leaf different it’s still wonderful. I always drink my tea plain but I wonder what this would taste like with Almond Milk…since it is quite almondy…I love me some ALmond Milk on cereal…hum…might have to try just because…
Steep Information:
Amount: 3 tsp
Additives: none
Water: 1 full cast iron teapot of filtered boiling
Steep Time: a little over 4 minutes
Served: Hot
Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: sweet and nutty (almond biscotti or cookie to AmazonV)
Steeped Tea Smell: almond cookie, or almond sweet breakfast cereal (Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds)
Flavor: not sweet almond black tea
Body: Medium
Aftertaste: astringent and bitter briefly (MilitiaJim says it doesn’t do that when hot)
Liquor: cloudy translucent reddish brown
Steepster Traveling Teabox Tea, grabbed because MilitiaJim loves almonds
MilitiaJim: It tasted more almondy than it smelled which is a good thing.
AmazonV: The smell was so sweet, I think the tea needs sweetening to match the scent. I also think a splash of almond milk would do it well. This was a great tea.
OMG this is near me, I can go there!!!!
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: 8+ minutes, fail, watery almond water

Wow… I can’t believe it went from tasting good to watery by the 2nd steep even though you increased the steeping time by 4 min.
It’s a wonderful shop!!! And I agree – I think it tastes just like Honey Bunches of Oats!! They don’t really do pots of tea there, but if you ever want to get a pot of tea at Tbar let me know :) It’s great that we are both in the same area!
@Cofftea I was surprised too because it smelled so much like almonds when i sniffed
@JacquelineM I love Tbar! i don’t go much unfortunately because i work too much :(
Almond milk makes cereal taste more cold!!! Love it.
Hmm.. almond milk might work well in vanilla dian hong.. yes, yes.. must try!
I have never tried an almond tea but find the idea enticing. Would you recommend this one in particular?
@ HarukaJU – I would…but it’s also more dessert-esque…not sure which Almond-like one you would like to start with…a dessert, black flavored, oolong maybe!? LOTS of choices!!!!
