I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this tea. I’m not a huge fan of green teas, but I like eggnog and praline flavors and the dry leaves smell good. The tea itself doesn’t smell quite as good, since it has a strong vegetal note. The flavor is fresh and vegetal with a light pecan note. I tried added sweetener and that helped, and then decided to try adding milk like another reviewer did. Bingo! It created a creamy eggnog flavor and perfected the sweet praline finish. You can still taste the freshness of the green tea, but maybe with a lesser steeping time that taste wouldn’t be as noticeable. I doubt that I would order more of this one, and the fiancee is quietly sipping his cup without exclamations of “OMG this is amazing”, so we will just enjoy finishing off the rest of this little pouch. It is a unique tea, so I’m glad I got to try it and it does suit this time of the year perfectly!

-Dry blend has medium green and brown tea leaves and twigs with small orange safflower petals.
-Dry leaves smell like creamy eggnog and of roasted nuts. Tea liquor aroma is vegetal and nutty.
-Tea liquor is a clear medium bright yellow color.
-Fresh vegetal flavor and finish with a light pecan aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. A very unique cup. Vegetal flavor with a strong nuttiness. Milk and sweetener brings out a creamy eggnog and sweet praline flavor.

Just a Southern girl who loves sunshine, little dogs and all things tea!

I love animals and animal rescue. We have a rescued Chihuahua, Greyhound, Siamese and 2 Tabbies. We also foster kittens for the local humane society.

My favorite teas are sweet and malty black teas but I try to branch out and taste them all. :)
