Manistee Moonrise from Whispering Pines Tea Company
91

One of the MANY things I am REALLY liking about Whispering Pines Tea Company is that the owner isn’t afraid to be creative! They are NOT afraid to try something new! They appear – to me at least – they are NOT interested in an ordinary or easy or safe tea. This…I LOVE. They enjoy taking a chance and I think it has really paid off!

Black tea, elderberries, lemongrass, spearmint, smoked pine-needle essence are the ingredients in this tea.

Dry aroma was earthy, herbally, woodsy, dark, and had a hint of lemon.

The color of the post-infused liquor is that of a Dark Brown/Grey-ish combo.

The ‘wet’ aroma is a gentle “in the woods” type smell – perhaps – next to a patch of fresh herbs.

The taste…is AWESOME. I really had no idea I was going to enjoy it as much as I am! The black tea base is what I would consider to be medium in strength but the pine, lemon, and mint flavor pairings are at the perfect-for-my-palate level of intensity. The ratios are VERY NICE!

It leaves a peaceful and minty-fresh yet hint of green-herbal goodness left over and behind.

I totally agree with the product description’s end note…

NAMASTE

Indeed!

POST NOTE on this one…Luke warm and Cold temps with this – the elderberries pop out more! Nice and subtle and totally makes sense with everything else :)

I really liked Glen Arbor, Whisper of the woods!!! Blackburian sounded interesting…I’m going to have to ask a few questions about the Smores one, tho, if it’s vegan :)

This one, Black Bear Breakfast, Smores, Jasmine Coconut, and the Coconut White. Braving the heat to go see if the mailman has left yet and see if they’re here!
