World Market Exclusive.
Sweet maple and nutty pecan flavors blend perfectly with rich, bold black tea. Reminiscent of freshly baked autumn pies, this tea is perfectfor welcoming guests in from the brisk harvest wind.

Not a huge fan. I think there was too much dust rather than leaf. I taste the pecan somewhat but hardly any maple. Sometimes I wonder how long a tea like this might sit on a shelf in the warehouse and then the store especially since it is a somewhat seasonal tea.
I got to sample this at Cost Plus World Market today and, since I had a gift card, I purchased a tin of this and a couple of decorative storage tins for some other teas that have been making my kitchen smell like berries and cream recently :) I got these two:

They’ve got great seals, too. Love them so much!
On to the tea! This was a very enjoyable black tea. I can’t say I tasted much maple, but I could taste the nutty pecan and was quite happy with that. This will be a lovely cold-morning tea, I think :)
Flavors: Nutty
This one is actually almost brand new. I did notice that it can get seriously bitter if left to steep even a teensy bit too long. If you try it again, brew it for less time and see if you can get a bit more flavor out that way.
I think I’ve had that problem with other flavored blacks by. Republic of Tea. Since bitterness is one of the things I really dislike in tea, I think I’ll just pass this on to someone else.
