Elmwood Inn

Drank this a few days ago and forgot to log it. I much prefer this to the Lover’s Leap. The leaves are bigger and the taste is more complex. It’s naturally sweet and delicious with milk.

This tea is basically the liquid version of York Peppermint patties. At first sip, the mint does tend to overpower the chocolate, but the very chocolatey aftertaste makes up for that.

Had some to keep me awake while finishing a term paper (procrastination is never worth it, kiddies). The flavor was simple and straightforward, not too bitter, malty, or sweet. Just a simple, no-nonsense black tea.

Really malty for a white tea. Just not for me.

I think I may have oversteeped it; it had too much bite and I could barely taste the peach and ginger. Fortunately, it was drinkable after I added milk. Maybe I’ll try it again and steep it for three or four minutes.

Another one from my cousin. A pleasant surprise! I’ve tried English Breakfast tea before and found it quite bitter and hard to drink. Granted, the tea I tried was cheap, bagged, and probably stale. This one was very strong and rich, but not in an off-putting way at all. Just wonderful with milk and honey. A good staple.

Another sample from my cousin, who works at Elmwood Inn. Thanks to her, I won’t be running out of tea for a long, long time. XD Made 16oz of this with 2 teaspoons of the loose tea, a little bit of whole milk, and a tablespoon of honey in the rough. The taste was strong, but not overpoweringly so. There was definitely a lot of variety in the spices, and every sip tasted different. It’s naturally sweet, making it a great desert tea.

My fellow tea-enthusiast cousin works at Elmwood Inn, and generously sent me a bunch of free samples. This one is the first I have tried, and it is delicious! The cherry and floral flavors balance each other out without hiding the taste of the delicious green tea. I will definitely be purchasing more of this.
