From the Here’s Hoping Traveling Tea Box #2
After reading some of the reviews on this one I was a little afraid to try it, but I like cinnamon, and I like fig. I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot.
Not bad! Cinnamon is the main flavor, but it’s not a super intense cinnamon. It’s a softer, warmer spice, and it pairs well with the fig which is sweet and gives the tea some depth. The base tea didn’t have a lot to offer, but it didn’t detract from the flavors either.
Given that a couple of the people who participated in this tea box thought this tea tasted like a stinky shoe, I feel like I dodged a bullet. This isn’t a tea I would purchase for myself (although I’d love to find a good fig tea!), but I’d drink a cup if it were offered to me.
Have you ever tried Fig Rose from Teavana? It’s one of my favorites!
I haven’t. Thanks for the recommendation! I have to go to the mall this weekend, so I’ll see if my local store carries it.
Oh, I’d love to find a good fig tea too.
