Hah, once again my taste buds are nothing like everyone else’s! I really loved this one. There is something just warm and comforting about this one – the single strongest flavor impression for me is brioche. Maybe there’s a bit of a butter taste, and a touch of vanilla, but not spices or anything. There is a fruity hint as well, but it doesn’t read strong and overpowering. There is a faint coffee taste/aftertaste, but it was very faint – I think I only taste it because I don’t like coffee. I was fine with the hint of it in this tea, though. Seriously, this tea was like drinking a hug for me today. (Yes, overly saccharine description, but sorry, it fits for me!) Is it the finest tea ever? No, but I still loved it.

eta – I did not get any maple flavor from it as I see some others have, which I would notice as I don’t care for maple.

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
