I’ve been trying to be good and focus on my current stash and not buy more tea. I was doing really well for awhile, which explains my lack of recent tasting notes…I just don’t feel like writing more about a tea I’ve already posted about unless I discovered something new and exciting about it.
So today I needed a break after 6 hours of continuous meetings/work. I decided to take a walk to DavidsTea of course! Tea shops always brighten my mood and put an extra pep in my step! I hadn’t tried any of the carnival teas because, honestly, they didn’t sound like the teas I usually go for. David’s has really gone herbal this summer. So, I went and smelled the new teas, and decided to get some of this one and some of the cotton candy tea. I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the new guy at this store. I said I wanted 1 oz. and he poured 1.8 oz. and said, “Is that okay?” I adamantly told him “No,” and he fixed it. What is this, Teavana? I don’t think so!
So, this tea smells like heaven! Caramel, toffee heaven! Like I said, I usually don’t go for these herbals without any actual leaf in them. This one is all fruit pieces and some caramel, coconut and cinnamon. I was a bit worried about the cinnamon because there are humongous pieces of cinnamon stick in there! Turns out it wasn’t a problem. Steeped, the aroma reminds me of those amazingly delicious caramel pecan sticky buns! Yum! Or maybe that mixed with an apple fritter! The caramel definitely comes through in a silky sweetness. I didn’t add anything to this tea and I’m loving it! And by the way, I can’t believe I am! It really is a perfect after dinner treat. The guilt-free alternative to a delicious sticky bun, although, I may have to go search one of those out! Ha!
