I was so excited to try the Sugar and Spice tea and stock up on Pumpkin Spice that the first day the Fall Collection came out I was in the store making my purchase. Along with these teas I also decided to get a few of the other teas from the collection (aside from Mom’s Apple Pie). I was in a rush, so I didn’t really take the opportunity to do the smell test before making my purchases. While waiting for the bus, I opened up the Pistachio Cream bag to take a whiff – “Yuck!” was all I could think. To me it smelt artificial; sickly sweet. It has since been sitting in my cupboard waiting for the day I braved the taste test.
A full month later, TODAY WAS THE DAY:
I am happy to say it wasn’t a complete waste of money because the steeped version isn’t half bad. I boiled the water and steeped it by instructions. When I first took a sip, the water was still hot so you couldn’t really taste the flavours, but as it cools you can really get the taste of pistachio. It reminds me of the pistachio gelato I had in Italy. Yum. I wonder if it would be good iced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it? Hmm.
