So, I didn’t read the full description of the tea before I had some.

This tea is cinnamon.. very, very cinnamon, but unlike the other tea I have that is alpha-cinnamon, this one has a number of other spices in it that make the cinnamon a more complex apartment-dwelling creature rather than a hermit at the edge of town.

Apparently, according to the description, this tea was developed for latte usage. Which, half a cup in totally makes sense. It’s very spicy, to the point of almost being over the top. I can see where mixed with milk it would be amazing. I’ll have to try that. As it is, it’s good. I can taste the pepper and the various other spices. (I love that they used pepper!) It’s got a POW.

And what this would make that would be just AMAZING – ice cream. Heat the milk and steep the tea in the hot milk over the stove for a while, then turn into ice cream. I can see that being lick-the-bowl-out amazing.

I was in love w/ it til I read “licorice and star-anise”. :(

It doesn’t taste like either to me. I don’t like star anise, and I think I can taste the licorice, but’s its like background body rather than a star player.

This one sounds scary….

Ingredients: Apple bits, cardamom, ginger, orange peels, blackberry leaves, cloves, cinnamon, carob bits, cocao kernels, licorice, star-anise, chicory root, pepper, cinnamon oil

Look at all the ingredients! I agree, this seems like it would taste pretty good with some sugar and milk.

I’ve got a lot of interests: sushi, science fiction/fantasy, medieval recreation, cooking (specifically medieval cooking), reading, British science fiction (Doctor Who!), hand sewing and now TEA!!

My favorites tend to be oolongs and flavored black teas. I like highly flavored teas more than delicate ones. Rooibos tends to taste like dirt to me, and hibiscus is very sour to my palate. But I’m always up to try all sorts of things, and will often find things that I really like which I thought I’d hate.
