Enchanted Forest

Another wonderful tea from Joy’s.
The buttery nutty sencha gives a lovely backdrop to the flavors of almond and cherry allowing for a creamy milky mouthfeel!
A little more pricey than ESP’s of the same name but I have not tried that one yet.
What I love about this is you can in fact still taste the base of this blend quite well.
My daughter and husband also enjoyed this one very much and it was nice to have a cup of tea with them.
Hubby said it was “tasty and no over powering and for me just right”
Its sweet but not cloying and the cherry flavor does not have that funny after taste commonly found with cherry flavored teas.
I am in love with Joy’s teas – oh and she has a MEAN oregano as well! I have been sprinkling it on top of everything I have ate today! VERY aromatic and flavorful. Well okay thats not tea related but wanted to give it a mention :)

Wow…now this one is good. It does have a black forest type feel to it and the almond flavor is just amazing. Thank you “Joy’s Teaspoon” for sending me this sample. I will have to get more when I run out. Love…love…love it. :-)

Yay! This is my real 300th review. I had to delete one that showed up as a duplicate. So happy!

Thanks to the awesome Naomi at Joy’s Teaspoon for this sample. I am in love with Joy’s Teaspoon!
The teas at Joy’s Teaspoon have a knack for being aromatic and tasteful – a tough job. But someone’s gotta do it, and Joy’s Teaspoon does!
I am a nut for anything almond so this almond tea, naturally, will be a cupboard staple. I taste the black forest notes, but it’s not black forest overkill. The almond comes through naturally and the aftertaste resembles toasted almonds. This truly is enchanting – a very appropriate name for an utterly blissful tea!
P.S. I accidentally over-steeped this one the second time around, but the tea handled itself well. The almond taste was even stronger so I was OK with my tea taboo.

This arrived today as as sample from Joy’s Teaspoon. It’s finally a sunny, somewhat warm day here in Pennsylvania and this tea is suiting that mood perfectly. The aroma of the dry leaf smells strongly of sweet-tart cherry, but the brew is more mellow. Mellow green tea blends with smooth almond flavor and leaves a sweet/slightly sour cherry note on the tip of your tongue at the finish. I love it.

The first of the samples I just got from Joy’s Teaspoon!

Even dry, this tea has a lot going on: lots of small green leaves with liberal sprinkles of red and blue. And the ALMONDS, oh dear, the almonds. It reminded me of sniffing pure almond extract! I love almonds, mind you, but it was a little much and I wonder what the smell would be like if the almond didn’t overpower everything else.

The taste is also mostly almond, but it doesn’t completely overwhelm the rest of the flavors. I notice a light flowery taste and some kind of berry (although given that there’s no mention of berries on the ingredient list, I assume that’s an illusion). There’s a pleasant light sweetness to it as well, and I feel no need to add anything else to make it sweeter.

My sample will make another cup or two, so I’m going to hold off on giving this a number rating until I’m out of it.

The babies are down for nap and the girls are playing Potato Head. Papa won’t be home for almost six hours and the day’s about to get crazy. I’m sipping Enchanted Forest and taking a moment to relax before the babies wake up and it’s all mommy all the time.

THIS SMELLS DIVINE!
It also tastes awesome too.
