Grabbed my travel tea pouch to take with me on a weekend away and pulled this from it. It smells faintly of gingerbread cookies. The kind made with molasses, giving it a deep rich taste. This tea tastes like gingerbread too. The citrus really isn’t standing out for me over the ginger and it doesn’t look like ginger is a prominent ingredient. The cup was a little astringent and sharp when I first started sipping, but it mellowed out as I sipped further. I’m enjoying this cup while trying to ignore the two day migraine that won’t leave me alone and back off.

Kusmi’s Russian blends are so nostalgic for me, they were some of the first teas I remember trying here on Steepster, many moons ago… :3
Mmmm! Now racking my brain to determine (a) have I ever tried a molasses flavored tea? and (b) do I have any molasses in the cupboard?
The first teas I remember doing tasting notes on were Teavana teas. That was my gateway brand into the world of looseleaf and away from grocery store bags.
You know… I don’t think I’ve had a tea intentionally flavored with molasses! That would be a fun flavor to see layered in more often.
Harney’s Gingerbread Festival has a molasses note to me.
