Glamorosi drank Roasted Almonds by TeaGschwendner

This blend has a lovely almond aroma. I used 3 heaping teaspoons in 12 oz pot and steeped it for 10 minutes. Each sip of the deep pink brew revealed a prominent apple and hibiscus start with a lingering almond finish. Although this tea is called “Roasted Almonds”, and they are clearly visible in the mix, the taste is sweeter, more like raw almonds or the aftertaste of almond milk.

I really liked this tea, and I’d definitely buy it. I don’t have a permanent rating system in place yet, but for now I’m giving this an 80.

Thank you Kristin for sending me this tea!

Bio

My name is Glamorosi. I am a jewelry designer and I blog about food, tea, fashion and entertainment.

I grow a huge variety of herbs and edible flowers, many of which I use for tisanes. I also grow heirloom tomatoes and fruit; my avatar is a photo of the calamondins in my garden – the rinds are delicious steeped in tea.

I enjoy all types of pure, unflavored tea. When I visit a tea shop I always buy a few Darjeelings – it’s my absolute favorite. I’m partial to second flush but I like first flush too.

I am a huge fan of Oolong tea.

I have a bowl of matcha every day.

I also drink a lot of rooibos and honeybush. I’m into spiced chai, florals (especially jasmine and rose) and blends flavored with almond or coconut.

I’m married to my favorite writer and we have a greyhound named Django.
