I knew this was probably a bad idea but it smelled so yummy dry. I like my tea to taste like tea, but I needed a couple more dollars to my total bill in order to use a coupon, so I grabbed this. It smelled like a delicious almond cookie!

It does not taste like a delicious almond cookie. My issue with blended and flavored teas is that I end up not being able to taste the tea or the flavors very well. There’s supposedly cinnamon and almond in here, and I can taste them but the flavor is subtle, and it masks the tea flavor. I’d rather have my tea plain, methinks.

At least this cost less than the coupon saved me so in the end, I still came out ahead.

Bio

I’m a tea-aholic. I’ve always loved tea. It is soothing and warm and comforting. I always had it when we went out to eat as a child so my first association is with rich and delicious food.

As an adult, I’m learning to enjoy tea on its own merits, and bask in its subtleties and varieties. The ritual of making a cup of tea is instantly relaxing.

I prefer oolong and white teas, followed by greens. For the most part, I don’t like straight black tea, but appreciate it as part of a blend or flavored. I’ve learned to love the world of flavored teas out there.

I’m slowly learning to appreciate rooibos blends, which I started drinking for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Love: Oolong, almond, coconut, peach
Hate: Ginger
