i got this gracious sample from CHAroma. thank you kindly.
i have to be the odd man out on this one… i loved the smell, but one way or another the smell did not translate to taste. the tea overpowered the taste and all the cotton candy smell dissolved.
it’s a distinct possibility that this was operator error, but i don’t have any left for a do-over. no number, not when i can’t back up my result.
… … … it smelled great!

I have not tired this specific blend from 52teas, I have tried the SBT version though. I find for most of the 52teas I have tried I keep the steep time to 2:30 or 3 minutes and use less than boiling water. Maybe 180/190F. Not sure if that will help.
I found it worked much better cold-brewed than hot!
Aww, too bad. It really needs sweetener in my opinion to bring out the cotton candy flavor, especially when it’s hot. Otherwise, it’s just a hot cup of floral black tea. Frank has an iced tea version that is super good too and in stock! Only $3!
