It’s not often that a blend hits so close to what was intended for it. Often, I find that names do more to disappoint the drinker than describe the flavor of the blend. Why is that? Does the blender start with a name and stick with it, or do they actually name the tea once they have tasted it?
Anyway, this blend hit rather close to its name, but not quite…for me at least. The base was sweet and creamy, combining well with the buttery vanilla flavors. It actually tasted like a poundcake, which was awesome. There may be a bit of egginess, but rather than contributing to an eggnog flavor, it lends itself further to the cake flavor of the tea. There’s a hint of artificiality to it, but it’s well within tolerable parameters for me.
I didn’t really catch any of the eggnog. It might be because of the age of tea, but I didn’t catch any of the nutmeg and cinnamon notes. Since I’m not really a fan of eggnog, that’s okay with me.
I may have to get more of this.

I still have some left over if you want it. I think that it is a little over half an ounce.
Did you not like it?
Since QTT is still selling it, I had planned on waiting for a sale or something. . .
I did. Mine’s just finicky. Some days it is smooth and creamy, other days it is dry and artificial.
That’s weird. Although it does seem to skirt the line between nice and artificial. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it. :-)
