Trying this one right now, a bit late from my advent calendar. It’s alright. It kind of tastes like caramel corn rather than the molassesy-gingery taste I was looking forwards to from the smell. Something in this is a weird taste, but I am unsure of what. Perhaps the maple sugar or crystallized ginger. it gives me a mucous-y mouthfeel (don’t know how else to describe that… like when you have a really tart candy?) that coats my mouth. I can’t say I am much of a fan of this one. I was hoping for a richer taste and better flavour.
This is You :-D

Bio
I love tea. I always had tea growing up, and now that I’m in my late 20’s and tea is trendy, I am loving it!
I love classic flavors – lemon, peppermint, orange, ginger, clove, etc, but I love when they get mixed up into something new and different.
I like most teas, but herbals, green (jasmine especially), black and white tend to be my favorites. I am getting into rooibos at the moment, which is a great adventure. Some tea still scared me to prepare myself, so I leave pu-reh and mate to the experts.
What I dislike in tea – artificial flavours, stevia (gives me headaches), lots of sugar or excessive sweeteners already added, and overly-spiced teas (ie – cinnamon mostly).
My tea ranking system:
1-20: Yuck. Not my thing
20-40: I could tolerate this if I had to.
40-60: Good, but I probably won’t buy it or drink it unless I have a craving.
60-80: Yummy, I would probably buy small portions of this as I can see me drinking it regularly.
80-100: Amazing! I would buy this by the bucket and be content drinking it lots! (It will earn a spot on my 100g tin wall).
