I hate to bring the poor tea’s rating down, but I feel I must. I: For justice!
I only had a couple sips of this. I was expecting a kind of sweet, authentic maple syrupy flavour and from the smell I assumed it would be a lot sweeter, but when I tried it it tasted… burnt. And bitter. I’m sure a burnt maple taste may appeal to some, but I was mislead by what my nose was telling me. =P Like those sailors and those sirens in that tale.
Regardless, it tastes smoked no matter how much sugar you add. I: I feel like somebody added soot to the tea mix when I wasn’t looking.
Was this an in store sample, or something you prepared yourself?
