Oops! I wayyyyy over steeped this one at work today. This is the first of the three teas from the December Amoda box that I tried as it intrigued me the most. I really like nutmeg and this smelled like strait nutmeg, nothing else! Unfortunately the nutmeg didn’t come through at all in the flavour. I’m hoping that’s because I over steeped it and the black tea base was very strong and a little bitter. I found the base to taste a little bit like a green… I’m hoping that was just because of the over-steeping as well. Excited to give this another try tomorrow!
This is You :-D

I didn’t drink a lot of tea growing up, just the red rose my nana would make me with about 3 teaspoons of sugar added to it. I started getting into loose leaf tea about a decade ago when I visited our local tea house and tried Rooibos for the first time, though I only drank it on occasion. I didn’t get serious about it until David’s tea came to town. I was on a diet and wanted something I could drink without sugar that had a lot of flavours to choose from.
I prefer black teas, but oolong and green come in a close second. White and guayusa are in the middle, while mate, rooibos and herbals are at the bottom of my list.
Likes: banana, jasmine, pumpkin, lychee, blueberry, chocolate
Dislikes: orange, ginger, rose, hibiscus, butterscotch, honeybush
My non-tea related interests are music, camping, poker, softball, snowboarding, biology and animals. I have 2 dogs and they are my whole life.

Better luck with a better steep. I used about a 3-4 minute steep, and just a little over the leaf amount called for, since I was using my steeper to make for a mug.
