Thanks Eva for offering to send me a sample of this …
I have put off tasting it for a bit because most of my orders have been Della Terra so far and I’ve been afraid this would mean another one, I’d like to branch out a little, but their sales suck me right in. Eeks!

This one smells great dry. Sweet & cinnamon… Yum! I was skeptical at other reviews that this could actually taste much like an oatmeal cookie. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I get sweet cinnamon on each sip with a buttery cookie aftertaste.

Flavors: Cinnamon

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML
Suziqzer

Re-steeped well, but a little weaker. To be expected for a flavored tea.

You added sugar and cream right?? ;)

Suziqzer

I added sugar for this cup… after a preliminary sip of course ;)
I did a small cup so I have enough for one more… which will be with cream and sugar for sure.

I found there were some extra bits in the bottom of my cup when I finished that were different than I’ve experienced with any other tea. After looking at the ingredients it must have been oatmeal that made it through my infuser basket.. reminded me of the bits in the bottom of a glass of milk when you’ve dunked a few too many oatmeal cookies.

Haha, it’s so much better with it! Hmm… now that you mention it, I want to make a cup to see if mine does the same. Plus now I’m craving cookies.

Lol.. cookies with cookie flavored tea!
If you made it with milk/cream you might not have noticed the extra stuff in the bottom of your cup… although I found I had to dump it out, and often I’m able to drink it. It tasted good enough that it didn’t bother me though.

Ahh, that’s why (I made it with cream). It’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised!

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!
