MMmmmm… Love the smell of this tea dry. Sweet, nutty, dessert-like.

Steeped it smells a little more green tea-like at first, as it cools, some of that dissipates (which is good for me since green isn’t my fav but if the other flavors play nice and it’s not too vegetal/or green tasting, I can do it) and I get creamy, nutty goodness . The green tea is still there, mostly in the aftertaste, but letting the flavors shine in this one. After a few sips, I did treat myself to a touch of raw sugar in the cup to make it a bit sweet .. much better. :)

This doesn’t taste like eggnog to me, but is sweet and creamy in the eggnog style with a nice mouth feel and a touch of praline nuttiness (which comes out even more as it cools). I’m tempted to try a bit of cream in the next cup to see if it is even creamier.

I could certainly go for this one when I’m looking for a creamy lightly caffeinated cup.

If someone offered me a green tea.. I would love to find out that it was this one out of the selections I’ve tried so far! I’m finding that a flavored green done well, I can like :)

Thanks MissB for sharing this one with me!

Bio

37 yr old wife and mother who left her day job to take care of our son. Now running a property management business with my hubby.

I grew up on Lipton -hot w/milk & sugar, Lipton iced w/fresh spearmint and sugar, and Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime … Don’t criticize.

I came across Good Earth Original Sweet and Spicy out of chance and it spurred my interested in trying new teas because it was a flavor I had never had before in a tea. I’m now new to the world of loose leaf teas and looking forward to learning what I like as I journey through some new flavors. Hubby has always enjoyed the occasional cup when we’ve been out and about at restaurants.. now we will find out what good teas are really all about! On with the adventures!

Still relatively new to loose leaf, but I’m learning… Coconut, cinnamon, chai, chocolate, mint, & pineapple are just a few of the flavors I enjoy. I have found that I can do green teas so long as there are other flavors as well and it isn’t the primary flavor. I have only found 1 rooibos blend that was too woodsy for me, most of the time the base is hidden or blends well enough w/flavored versions for my liking. I’m beginning to enjoy fruit teas more and more. I occasionally like a straight black tea.

Hubby likes milder flavors, any base, berry flavors, sweet aromas, sometimes tart, and or floral, and chocolate to my surprise! Almost the opposite of me.. go figure!

My 8 year old just took interest and loves root beer.. so far Butterbeer is a hit, but we haven’t tried any root beer or cola teas yet.. soon thanks to the Marvelous MissB for sending some samples. He enjoyed Winter Nog (Della Terra) recently, but turned away something else I gave him.. darn if I can’t remember now what it was!
