my, this is delicious. i had a cup of this as my (post) midnight snack along with roasted sunflower seeds, tamari almonds & toast. i don’t normally have a midnight snack per se, but i’m a night owl, and owls must keep the midnight oil burning..

yummy and soothing. warm apple pie. very apple-y and cinnamon-y. love the smell of this stuff and i could inhale the tin for days!!

i used 2 tablespoons (LOL) in a Melitta tea filter and let infuse for 10 minutes along with a bag of Tazo Awake English Breakfast. that seems to be the tea of choice for mixing with flavored teas today! first Wild Chaild, now this. i also have some Ahmad’s English Breakfast (pretty much a CTC) that i also could have used but i usually save that for when i make chai.

anyway, after the long bath of steeping, i added milk & sugar and it was truly delicious. i don’t think i’ve ever tried this plain. since it’s an herbal & a bit on the fruity side, taste-wise, i like to add black tea to give it depth, and milk and sugar naturally draw out and enhance the almond and cinnamon pie-like flavors.

also- it really helped that i added much more than the recommended amount of 1.5 tsp because the flavor really came out. very pleased with this cup. drinking my second infusion now!

i’ve had this since November 2012 so i better get a move on and head toward sipdown territory, as i don’t want it to lose its aroma or flavor. plus, it’ll give me an excuse to go out and buy more ;)

Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Fruity, Nuts

love tea in every form- from bagged to loose leaf..commercial to niche. i am intrigued by it all & want to learn as much as i can through my 5 senses (tho with tea i’ll presumably be using 3)..am a very sensorial person. love music, perfume, poetry, graphic design, India, Malaysia, Moorish architecture, oh….and tea!

apparently i’m really out of the loop here since i appear to be among the only ones who have not yet tried Golden Moon, Butiki, 52teas, Mandala, Teavivre or Della Terra. i mean REALLY. i need to start lifting this rock up over my head y’all. from the looks of things, i’ve been reenacting Groundhog’s Day every hour on the hour with my uniformed choices. i seek to be anointed!

also, don’t take my numbers too literally; they can’t possibly speak to the actual quality of the tea, much less to the constancy of my own perceptions! what i may feel to be an 88 one day, could very well be a 91 the next, or even 100, depending on my taste buds, blood sugar levels, neuronal firings or planetary alignment ;)
