Angrboda drank Caramel Apple by Custom

Witness, Steepsterites, the food of the gods!

So I took half and half of Caramel and Apple, both of Kusmi Tea.

It is a well-known fact that the Caramel is a beloved favourite of mine. I procured the Apple yesterday and was somewhat unimpressed, although not completely put off or disappointed.

On a whim this fine morning, I decided to see how they would fare in a mix. Would it in fact be something along the lines of caramel apples?

The answer is a resounding YES! Yes it is. Oh my giddy aunt!

If you happen to be in possession of these two teas at any point in your life, I would strongly recommend trying them in a mix.

That. Is. BRILLIANT! Every inch of me wants to order these now, but I made myself a promise and will stick to it (must reduce tea in cupboard first). But you bet your sweet bippy that I will try this in the future. :D

I look forward to hearing if you experience with the mix was as thoroughly pleasant as mine. It completely took that initial problem I had with the apple out of the equation for me. I suspect now that I’m going to be having a LOT of fun with that apple tea. :D

This is the best thing I’ve ever heard since actual caramel apples! You’ve just saved two bags of apple tea I just happened to have laying around, I just made myself a pot and I’m almost on the floor geeking out. Thank you so much!

Profile

Bio

Angrboda felt her bio needed to be re-written, but she failed to consider what she wanted it to say instead.

Um…

Okay. Ang prefers black teas and the darker sorts of oolongs. She has to be in the mood for green and white and she enjoys, but knows little to nothing about, pu-erh.

Her preferences with black teas are the Chinese ones, particularly from Fujian, but also Keemun and just about anything smoky. She occasionally enjoys Yunnans but they’re not favourites.

She is sceptical about Indian blacks as she generally finds them too astringent and too easy to get wrong. She doesn’t really care for Darjeelings at all.

She likes flavoured teas as well, particularly fruit flavoured ones, but also has an obsession with finding the Perfect Vanilla Flavoured Black.

However, she thinks Earl Grey is generally kind of boring. Cinnamon and ginger are also not really a hit, and she’s not very fond of chais. Evil hibiscus is evil. Even in small amounts, and yes, Ang can usually detect hibiscus, mostly by way of the metallic flavour of blood it has.

Ang is not super impressed with rooibos or honeybush. She doesn’t care for either, really, but when they are flavoured, there have been known to be surprising exceptions to this rule.

Ang has a number of teas that she regards her Standard Panel and will always try to have on hand.
-Lapsang Souchong, any brand really, but preferably AC Perchs.
-Blackberry flavoured black or similar, any brand.
-Late Summer Blend, AC Perchs
-Raspberry Oolong, AC Perchs OR Red Fruits Oolong, Le Palais des Thes
-Caramel, Kusmi OR Toffee, Le Palais des Thes
-Something orange flavoured, black or pu-erh, any brand.
-Tan Yang Te Ji, Teaspring OR Bai Lin Gongfu, Teavivre
-A good Keemun, any brand.
-The Perfect Vanilla Black if and when she ever finds it…

Angrboda is almost always open to swapping. Just ask her.
