Sip down
There are perks to allowing teas to pile up…mostly that you always have an opportunity to rediscover something new or old. The plus side is that you have one last moment with that cup and can sit with it quietly, which in my case, wasn’t. I was driving 70 MPH on the highway, blasting death metal, so that my soul couldn’t become crushed by the weight of an in-office day. That, and I needed to pass the time on my hour drive into work.
After the tea steeped in the cup for 4 minutes, I sipped the tea. I made a mental note that there wasn’t anything special about it, however, it was still too hot to taste anything. I brought it along for the drive—for at that point, I simply needed the caffeine—and let it sit for 30 minutes or so. That is when I discovered that this tea is meant to reach near room (or car) temperatures.
Notes: Pecan pie or the chocolate rum cake we’d get at our madrigal concert I’d perform in during my days of singing in a local children’s chorus (I was 8-12, but that flavor will always be ingrained in my mind). This tea is meant to cooldown for the opportunity to experience the layers of burnt sugar and pecan notes! Too bad this is all there may ever be.
Flavors: Bourbon, Burnt Sugar, Pecan, Rum
