Amaretto

This tea smells SUPER over the top amaretto-y. It still holds a ton of that scent when brewed and the taste is pretty strong too. I’m not a fan of it plain, but it’s pretty yummy with a bit of sugar. I tried one cup with sugar and cream which was quite delicious as well. No other words to describe it except yup, amaretto! Unfortunately, this tea gives you all it’s got on the first steeping. The second steeping is just a shadow of it’s former self, which knocks it down a couple points in my book these days. The second steeping has a faint paper taste to it too. Oh, and word to the wise… those almonds mixed in with the tea are not for consumption. Imagine putting 1/4tsp of almond extract in your mouth and that is pretty much what they taste like. Very bitter!.

Aside from the unpleasant almond chewing experience and the fact that it is good for only one cup, I did enjoy it and will be buying it again.

Yum. I really like this one :) I find it pretty intense all by itself! The flavor got even better once my cup got cooler. Very nice tea! Spot on amaretto in my opinion :)

My fiance bought me this tea for Christmas. The smell is very sweet, like marzipan but in the taste it is a mellow sweetness. With a little bit of agave added it tastes almost like a (almost) calorie free marzipan – a wonderful dessert tea. It would probably be even more like marzipan if I had used white sugar instead of agave. Before I added the agave the taste was very mild even though I had steeped the tea for the full 7 minutes. This is not a tea I would be able to drink every day or in the morning but as a dessert tea this is amazing! I am so glad my fiance chose to bring this tea home to me for Christmas!

Dry, this smells like pure marzipan-y goodness and conjures up memories of decorating a gingerbread sleigh with marzipan when I was a kid. Since my mom built the entire sleigh while I watched, it seemed only fair that I would roll the marzipan. Mmmmmmm. My brother thought it smelled like cherries. I get that a little. I told him he was crazy though, because he’s my brother and that’s my job.
I think I may have understeeped this a little. It was a bit weak. However! With milk and sugar it became almost impossibly decadent (milk in an herbal? gasp! but it just completes the thing so nicely). Delicious, pretty, fragrant…this is a keeper.

The smell of this tea alone is entirely enchanting to me. I love the scent of amaretto.

I find that this tea does not have much in the way of colour when it steeps and I often find that I steep it longer to accommodate this fact.
It works well with a touch of sweetener, though I often forget that I am allowed to sweeten my teas and tend to drink them straight. That being said, it’s also quite nice on its own.
Even with my extended steep time, I find that it still retains a nice light flavour.

I love almonds. I like them as snack and in drinks. I really like the aroma it gives out as well. This tea smells just what I wanted.

Unfortunately, the taste didn’t came out as good as expected. It is very….thin. Couldn’t taste much almond. Maybe it’s because I’m use to those instant almond drink before. I do agree with some says it can be used in cooking, or mixing with another drink. But for me, I like to drink my tea plain, and this one can’t meet my satisfaction.

Right of the bat, you get a deep smell of Amaretto, complimented by the nutty smell of almonds.

I steeped for 5 minutes, let it sit for 30 minutes, and than began to drink.
It was spicy sweet, and incredibly delicious.

I saw this when it was first being introduced in stores (I checked online and saw no description of it) and bought it without even thinking because 1. I LOVE amaretto and 2. it smelled absolutely captivating.

I tried it as soon as I got home, following all the steeping instructions. The tea came out very weak and barely tasted like it smelled (you know what I mean?)
Anyway, because it smells so delicious in the bag, I’ve been steeping it every now and then when I feel like giving it another try.
I’ve tried steeping it with just hot milk. I’ve tried hot water, a bit of milk, and condensed milk. I’ve tried Just water. Tonight I tried hot water and a teaspoon of condensed milk.

Conclusion: 1.5 spoonfuls might not be enough OR I’m just not familiar with how lapacho bark should taste OR this tea just isn’t actually all that great.

I love this tea. Perhaps it’s my Italian-Canadian heritage, and my fond memories of almond flavoured goodies from childhood, but this tea is just delicious. It’s like drinking Armaretto, sans alcohol. It also reminds me quite a bit of Dr. Pepper, but in a good way.

If you like almond flavouring, this tea is definitely for you! As soon as you open the package, you’re blasted with a strong mix of almonds and cherries, with an amazing tang. You can taste it, too ;)

This tea smells amazing….unfortunately the flavour just isn’t there. I found it to be very bland. Might makea better potpourri

The name says it all. Reminds me of almond cookies and Disaronno liqueur.

kjdbvldjnvs:Bkfmb;sl. Okay, admittedly, it reminds me a biiiiit of that super artificial almond flavouring you buy for cooking. BUT. It’s also so wonderfully woodsy and nutty without being bitter I couldn’t care less.

I LOVE THIS TEA.

I really don’t know how else to explain my love for it. Soy lattes made with this tea are to die for! There are so many well-balanced flavors in this tea that just… mmmmmmm. The almond is pretty potent, and the apricots give it a fruity body. It’s rich and creamy and delectable, and I’m just plain shocked there’s no liquor in it, damnit! SO GOOD.

love marizpan. it was surprisingly mild, in comparison to its strong scent. gotta brew stronger next time.

The leaves smell delightful as does the steeped liquid; after steeping as directed it smells as beautiful and inviting as the dry leaves, yet lacks all taste. Drinking it was pretty much just drinking hot water. I recommend the Teaopia version, it has actual taste.

Amazing!! I’ve tried other Amaretto styled teas before and they were over powering and very strong. This is a beautiful tasting tea. I’ve also had it with dried cherries infused with it as well, it definitely adds something to it but its amazing by itself as well. This is a tea I could easily drink everyday without complaint. WIth its amazing smell and smooth taste its a tea thats easy and comforting to drink.

So I’m trying this tea for the first time today at work, and I think I made it too weak. I do get the amaretto taste from it, but I don’t find it to be that strong. I would have loved a stronger kick of flavour. I’m going to try it again before I rate it though. I think I need to make it a lot stronger.

A very very watered down version of Alpine Punch and not even that good .

I’m sticking to the delicious Alpine Punch from now on.Tried this twice and even made it stronger and it still was weak and unimpressive.

I’ve tasted this one at my friend house and it’s really nice.
Very sweet and cherry.
Yup, amaretto in a tea. No doubt.
But I love WAY more the taste of Alpine Punch.
It has the same cherry kick with a more creamy taste. :)

Anyway hem.. As always : TRY IT.

I had a cup of this tea while walking home on a cold day.. so delicious!! I really enjoyed it!! I would add a little sweetener next time though.. Maybe some real Amaretto
