A blend of green tea, peppermint, cardamom, clove, fennel and black pepper. A complex chai to challenge the true tea connoisseur. Organic.
Happy Ampersand Day! Today the prompt is to drink a tea with the word “and” in the title!
Managed to find one of my 2018 stash that fit the bill. The dry leaf looks like Gunpowder Green (though TCT’s website doesn’t specify), which isn’t my favorite, but I’m hoping the spices might cover up the “smoky” taste I don’t like. It has a heavy fennel/clove aroma to the nose from the dry leaf, which is quite inviting.
The brewed tea also has a lovely fennel/clove peppery aroma, with some deeper almost earthy smells from the green tea. It tastes quite pleasant; earthy/dry grass flavor lacking the smoke, a touch of mint without it being strongly minty like a Moroccan Mint, and a strong fix of fennel and clove in flavor, leading to some citrusy and peppery notes. It really ties together well.
Flavors: Citrus, Clove, Dry Grass, Earth, Fennel, Mint, Pepper, Spices
