I have to admit, this tea is quite the letdown for me. I have given it three shots. Once with a sample pack that, scarily, did not even provide enough tea to make a decent cup, and twice with the tea I bought to give it a fair shot. The taste is not unpleasant, I like figs, I love cloves and spices with apple. In fact, if it were solely a question of taste, this tea might be alright. But… This tea is so incredibly heavy, I found it heavier than Merry Cranberry and that is saying something!! Also, it is just plain a weak flavour. My best shot with this tea was when I dropped it in my tea traveller and just let it steep for hours while the water cooled. This is such a disappointment. I love the flavour, but I can’t get this to brew a decent cup without so much babying that I have other flavours that I would go for first. If someone has a way, other than steeping for hours, to get flavour out of this tea, I would love to hear it! Otherwise, this is one I will get through my batch of but I won’t be stocking up on it. Too bad, because I was so excited for it!!
