You know, I have three notes for this tea and I’m struggling to remember any of them. The tasting notes are positive, but I have been so…apathetic about drinking it. This makes no sense as I am really quite fond of candy corn.
Today I had this plain at my typical parameters for a black tea from 52Teas. I had it with no additives, just to see what the candy corn flavoring did with no help. Answer: it gives you a pleasant honeyed taste without cloying sweetness. It has the strange oily patches on the top of the liquor (from the oils added, but still, not my favorite aesthetic) but no bitterness or astringence, despite being DARK once it’s brewed up.
I don’t really know why I stigmatized this blend. It’s really good, and not overly candy corn like, which is good as it’s not candy corn season. It’s just a nice, honey accented black tea that works well with or without additives.
