I started my CRAZY Day with 3 cups of this! Really nice! I am going to keep this one on tap to give it some proper tasting notes within the next few days! It’s yummy that is for sure…more coming soon!

Starting my day with a cuppa this before sending the rest to LiberTEAs. This is sweet and semi-smooth but a bit mellower than the others I have tried so far from them. It’s still yummy that is for sure! Slightly caramelly and slightly chewy. YUM!
