The scent of the dry tea is interesting. I can’t put my finger on what this smells like. It’s not maple, I think it’s more apple-cinnamon-something else. Brewed, the most prominent taste I get is actually the apple, with a little bit of cinnamon and maple. It’s good, but not overly mapley. I only made one cup of it though, so maybe I just didn’t get any of the maple sugar pieces in my teaspoon? Anyway, I added a bit of maple syrup and that was pretty delicious. This is reasonably tasty, but it’s not blowing my mind or anything.

Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Maple

I agree – the scent is not maple, but something bizarre. I kept smelling it again and again to try to pin-point the aroma. It contains monk fruit (sugar), which I believe is what makes it taste so odd.

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
