I blended this tea with Coconut Cocoa (Republic of Tea). I enjoyed the blend and found myself staying up way too late relaxing and enjoying. I feel you must drink this tea very warm, however, not real Hot. This tea was a home run for sure.

This is definitely a cookie tea. Even though it is extremely tempermental (doesn’t like extreme heat or being oversteeped) it can be a delicious desert tea. Probably not for everyone though.

This worked wonderfully as my desert. I am satisfied.

Had a cold brewed iced tea today. Pretty good, but I think I prefer it hot.

Okay, the smell of this one SOLD me at Teavana. Those sneaky salesmen are pretty intense in OKC. Geez… Anywho…

I brewed this bad boy up and found that I’m just not a huge fan almond in tea. There is a dough taste, an almond cookie (duh) taste that is just too watered down to really be enjoyable. Side note, I took this with sugar only, no milk

This tea will taste fantastic with cream and more sugar, I used 1/2 a teaspoon for eight ounces. This review is, however, only covering water and light sugar.

So, in my opinion… This tea needs to be richer, a deeper black tea would have suited the other components quite a bit.

This tea is one that I share with everyone that I know who drinks tea. I think my Tante put it best: “Just having it brewing in the house makes me happy.”

This tea has a very full and warm flavor. It is almost malty. I like adding a bit of vanilla sugar to make it even more decadent. I steep for about 4 minutes.

So glad this tea wasn’t discontinued to make room for their new blends!!! If they got rid of Almond Biscotti I don’t know what I’d do (… I would probably spend a small fortune stockpiling the stuff.)

Today I decided to try something new! I love this tea on its own, it is nutty, fragrant, sweet, and hearty. I added a bit of cream, a drop of vanilla extract, a touch of meadowfoam honey, and stirred. Holy cow. It paired perfectly with the batch of Italian wedding cookies we had sitting on our counter! Mixing it with cream made this blend utterly decadent!

It was a little bit bitter today. Didn’t oversteep, but it was somewhat overpowering. Sweetened it a little bit to take the edge off, and it still made a good cup.
