Winterlicious is currently happening in Toronto and somehow that has resulted in dinners every night…three course dinners…and occasionally lunches. Plus a friend was visiting this weekend so it has been a busy and very filling few days with very little time for tea. I think I was having withdrawals though because all day I was fixated on coming home and making that first cup of tea. It was incredibly distracting but also fun to debate what to have first.
This was not the first cup I made today. It’s more like the fourth since getting home at 6. As far as Necessiteas teas go, this is not my favorite. I can sorta get where they were going with this but mostly it is cinnamony rooibos with an icing note. Not cream cheese icing so much as a cheap icing sugar mix. Pretty disappointing when compared to all the other Necessitea blends which have been pretty spot on to theirs namesake. It’s not bad, just not on par with the other offerings from this company. With that said, I seem to be in the minority with this opinion so maybe its just me.
