This tea has been sitting in my cabinet for about 3 months now, overlooked and forlorn until today. Today is a glorious day. I had been debating about how much North Winds from Whispering Pines to purchase on Cyber Monday…..then….well, then I had this tea. This, for me today, is a game-changer tea. Whereas North Winds is a blend of 2 of my most craved teas (Yunnan and Fujian black, I believe), THIS tea holds all that is magical and wonderful in the above blend but does so in a much more organic way, as the flavors come together PERFECTLY, without blending…just as nature intended. The Yunnan is represented by notes of yam, cocoa, apricot….. the Fujian black is represented by the caramelized sugar, raisin… and amidst these are the honeyed malt….. Crikey, this is a wonderful tea. If North Winds holds you in rapture, make sure you try this tea…..it’s truly amazing what nature can do.
Flavors: Apricot, Cocoa, Honey, Malt, Oak, Raisins, Yams
p.s. I just ordered 125g of this tea….so you know I was dead serious about the review above! It’s going to be a yummy holiday season!
Ooh, I’ll have to remember this one. It sounds great!
