I love this tea so much. Having it again this morning. I’ve found it is the perfect morning tea for me (as a latte) because I can make it sweet with just a little sugar and cream and it’s delightful. A little caffeine doesn’t kill me early in the morning, so as long as I don’t indulge in this one late-night I tend to be okay.
I have been enjoying the aroma of my cup as it cools. I am trying to determine what it smells like in addition to what I’ve said before. I notice the vanilla more than I did previously. Vanilla is a delightful scent but we often overlook it when our brain thinks chocolate is present… I think because Vanilla is so often used to accent chocolate.
The coffee-ish scent is probably only because I’m so unfamiliar with coffees. It doesn’t smell like ground coffee. It smells like a cuppa coffee but only in the vaguest way. The salty, savory note added by hazelnut perhaps? Or the cocoa nibs?
Either way, I know the cornflowers are just for looks. They don’t add anything to the mix that I can detect here or in any other tea I’ve had them in. I don’t have a super refined palate tho, so maybe I’m just immune to them. They ARE pretty tho.
I made a cup for me and a cup for sis with a whipped cream topping for the rare treat since I had a can of whipped cream in the fridge for unrelated reasons… WHAT!? Don’t look at me like that. I mean like…. pie or whatever. :P
