I bought this as a mini tin of loose tea (just over 1 oz) at TJ Maxx. I steeped 1 Tbsp of loose tea in 12 oz of water, and added a bit of turbinado sugar. In lieu of paraphrasing other reviewers (they really hit the nail on the head), I’ll skip the flavor description and enjoy my cup while watching reruns of Malcolm in the Middle.
My name is Cassie. I’m 27 years old, married to my best friend, and we have 2 cats! I am a professional baker, and I own a bakery with my mom.
I sipped my first cup of “real” loose leaf tea on October 5th, 2013, and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying new flavors, anything and everything to find out what I like. I’m always looking for suggestions… Where to buy, which to try, steeping methods, tea accessories and gadgets, etc. :)
MY TASTE
*I grew up drinking iced tea in the South, so black tea will always have a place in my cupboard.
*I am obsessed with cinnamon! Anything loaded with cinnamon will become a favorite of mine.
*I like fruity teas, especially if they are tart. I love hibiscus and rose hips.
*I also like dark, strong, toasty teas, but preferably nothing smokey.
*I don’t do chamomile. Never. Ever. EW.
I’m open to try anything. Suggestions are welcome. :)
