Aah, the things we buy when we’re trying to meet shipping minimums. I got a sample 1 oz pack of this after reviewing all other options and deciding against. I should have just gotten more Laoshan Black Chocolate Genmaicha. BUT I wanted to try it. 1 oz is not a lot so no harm done.
I’m not sure about this tea. I definitely don’t love it, I’ll tell you that. It’s got chai spices with some orange peel. I do like the scent of the dry “leaf” but as much as I can smell the orange in dry form, I can’t pick it up past the ginger and Cinammon once brewed. I steeped using spring water which I seldom do (I bought two large jugs for camping and we didn’t use it all then so it’s for tea!) and I only infused for 2 minutes or so. It seemed what most people on here were doing. Maybe it would get too spicy if kept longer? Maybe I’ll try longer steep with what I have left…
It tastes like a spicy, dessert bread of sorts. Not banana loaf but maybe carrot? A a carrot muffin I think. I’m going to share my 1 oz so that leaves me with another 16 oz mug worth, surely I can manage downing it.
Oh no! I hope I enjoy mine a little more as I bought it for the EXACT SAME REASON!
It’s not bad but I don’t love it. If I don’t love it I will avoid it and it will drag around my cupboard. Kinda like mulberry magic. It’s ok but I rarely reach for it.
