Ahhhh! Finally, after months and months of “waiting til the fall” to order this tea, I have more in my hot (cinnamon spice) little hands! It’s completely over the top in the best way possible. Sweet, oh so cinnamony, and just the right touch of orange and clove. It’s pretty much screams “autumn in a cup” to me! It never fails that someone tells me how good my tea smells when I make some of this.
I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.
I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.
My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes

I love this one! Easily one of my favorites, and yes, perfect for autumn!
