Ok, before I start, I’d like to warn you that what I’m about to say does NOT affect the quality nor the freshness of this blend…It is only based on my sensitivity to certain scents.

Please forgive me Brenden but this dry blend…it smells like feet! Well, feet sprinkled with cinnamon and and other goodies.

Yes, I have been known to identify stinky feet in tea…sometimes it’s in the smell, but it’s obviously worse when it’s in the taste!

Luckily, in doesn’t transfer to the taste at all in this blend, phew!

Elder Grove is all cinnamon chocolate lemon drizzled. Just the right amount of sweet and citrusy notes.

Another blend that feels so earthy and organic.

It’s very relaxing, perfect infusion of the evening…

Thank you Brenden for this generous sample. (And sorry for the feet comparison!)

I just ordered a sample of this. Now I can’t wait to smell the feet! :P

TheTeaFairy

Haha! It’s only in the dry leaf, the brew smells just wonderful!

Whispering Pines Tea Company

Hahaha :) That’s funny! Glad it didn’t taste like that to you ;)

Cheri

You crack me up. I’m glad it didn’t taste like stinky feet at least.

TheTeaFairy

Cheri, if you make this part of your WP order (cause it is worth ordering) you have to let me know if you find the “feet” notes, lol. Should I suggest this note to be added to the Steepster flavour data base?

Terri HarpLady

Getting closer to lacing a WP order. I’m assuming they take playpal?

TheTeaFairy

Hi Terri :-) Yes they do! This is one of the best cinnamon blend I have had…the chicory makes it chocolate-cinnamon, so good!

Marzipan

No feet for me. I love this one.

Nattie

I think there should be a feet option, I’ve picked up on footish notes in tea too, although I think mine was a chamomile (:

TheTeaFairy

Aaah! Nattie, thank you so much, what a relief to know I’m not alone, lol!

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
