Toasted Nut Brulee Oolong from Teavana
75

I’ve just had a sadly tealess week in Chicago, but now I’m with my tea-drinking friend in Boston and we’ve made a trip to Teavana, so the tea situation is greatly improved!

This is a nice tea, but just totally not what either of us were expecting from the description, or from the aroma. I was expecting something pretty sweet and smooth and maybe a bit nutty, but this tea is actually sort of spicy, with cinnamon being the overwhelming flavour of the taste and the aftertaste. Definitely a good tea to have around during the cooler weather.

From the title, that sounds absolutely decadent. But I would want exactly what you described as expecting and probably would have been crestfallen at the first cup. Dang.

The sweetness came through a little more as we got to the end of the cup, once the tea had cooled down a lot, but yeah, it was totally not the sweet cup of tea we were expecting.
