This was pretty good. I enjoy pancakes with maple syrup on the odd occasion and I imagine I will enjoy this tea on the odd occasion. There is a definite maple flavor, with a pancake aftertaste. The black tea base is pretty good, with a slight astringency. It’s a good tea. It isn’t inspiring much in the way of exclamation points and ALL CAPS, but that’s OK sometimes.
44-year-old empty nester, mother of one 21-year-old young man who is a senior at UW-Madison. I live in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, near Lake Michigan. I love to read, embroider, play my ukulele, and drink tea, of course!
I have written 100 reviews over the years. One thing that’s changed is that I used to put two packages of Splenda in an 8-oz. cup of tea. Now I wonder how I even tasted the tea. I’m down to about 1/2 to 1 packet of Stevia per full mug.
About my cupboard—I have listed every tea that I have 1 oz. or more. Most teas I have about 3-4 oz. Feel free to ask for a trade. I love to trade! I will warn you now that sometimes I’m a slow mailer so you shouldn’t send me your part of the trade until you’ve gotten your package from me. I won’t be offended!
