Mike-the-Nerd's Irish Creme Flavored Black Tea

Black Tea by 52teas

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from 52teas!

Mike-the-Nerd is a longtime friend of my Mom’s. When she met him, I think she knew 3 or 4 Mikes and so they all got addendums to their names. There was Mike-the-Nerd, Mike-the-Gay, and a couple of others that I forget.

Anyway, Mike-the-Nerd came to visit us last month for our big Groundhog’s Day Party and he suggested we should create an Irish Creme tea. I thought it would be cool to create it for the week of St. Patty’s Day, so here it is!

This was buried treasure…literally. The packet had jumbled itself down to the bottom of my goodie basket but was unopened, so even though it’s a little oldish, it smelled oh-so-good! Like sticking my nose in a bag of wedding mints.

Steeped, the vanilla is coming through the loudest. (Should I worry when I describe taste with an auditory adjective?) Black tea base could have been plenty stronger for me, but I wasn’t paying attention to the size of the spoonful I dumped in my tumbler. I may have to try again. Aw, shucks :)

Need to finish the packet of this before it loses its Irish fling, and as it’s a little long in the tooth, need to step up the steep time and amount o’wee leafies. As it is, the creme gets you before the mint.

But today I would gladly imbibe generic-grade grocery store fannings as long as I can do as I just did…rocking slowly outdoors in my patio glider (first time in too many months!) watching the daffodils grow.

Thank you to Rachel for sending me some of this to try! I didn’t order it when it was introduced – I don’t know why! And now that I’m tasting it, I really wish I had!

This is fantastic! Smooth and creamy. I am contemplating adding a splash of cream to it to enhance the creaminess, but, since I’m about to write a review of this for the Tea Review Blog, I wanted to first experience it without the cream… and it is really good like this. Delicious!!!

Wow, can’t believe I am the first to review this tea. It is simply wonderful. I found this to be slighty sweet, incredibly smooth and creamy, definitely got the Irish Cream flavor out of this. I didn’t get any bitterness at all. It is like creamy silk. Amazingly relaxingly good.

Bumping up for AWESOMENESS!!! I just made a pot of this and it turned out so well. Rich and creamy with that Irish Cream flavor I enjoy so well. I did try it with almond milk and I have to say it wasn’t bad but straight up is really the way to go. This is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
