Delicious! I do love this… it’s been a while since I’ve had it, and I’ve missed it… just came across it as I’m attempting to go through my tea stash to restore some semblance of order to it.

Sweet, spicy and delicious. If I could change anything, I guess I’d want a little more flavor from the cocao kernels. Too bad this one appears to be no longer available.

So, I didn’t read the full description of the tea before I had some.

This tea is cinnamon.. very, very cinnamon, but unlike the other tea I have that is alpha-cinnamon, this one has a number of other spices in it that make the cinnamon a more complex apartment-dwelling creature rather than a hermit at the edge of town.

Apparently, according to the description, this tea was developed for latte usage. Which, half a cup in totally makes sense. It’s very spicy, to the point of almost being over the top. I can see where mixed with milk it would be amazing. I’ll have to try that. As it is, it’s good. I can taste the pepper and the various other spices. (I love that they used pepper!) It’s got a POW.

And what this would make that would be just AMAZING – ice cream. Heat the milk and steep the tea in the hot milk over the stove for a while, then turn into ice cream. I can see that being lick-the-bowl-out amazing.

Took 3 tbsp of this and simmered it for something like 15 minutes in 2 cups of 2% milk. Added a little simple syrup at the end for a little sweetness.

Wow. It’s amazing.

It’s like a pumpkin pie without the pumpkin, but it has the creamy, spicy flavor. I could even see mixing this blend with canned pumpkin to make a dessert. Lovely, sweet, smooth, and won’t keep me up all night.

Oh, awesome. I’m bumping my score and will make more soon!
