From the EU TTB – Round 3
I love mulberries. It took me a while to work that out, but this is the third mulberry tea I’ve tried recently, and now I’m sure. I used 1.5 tsp of leaf, and gave it 4 minutes in boiling water. No additions. It smells gorgeous, as in “fill the whole kitchen” gorgeous. Rich and caramelly, a little citrussy, a touch of cinnamon. Very seasonally appropriate, although I’d drink a tea that smells this good all year round.
Fortunately, it tastes equally good. It’s almost like drinking a cup of hot liquid caramel. Perhaps because caramel is one of my favourite things, I’ve always found it hard to find teas that replicate the flavour accurately. Maybe I’m a little fussy, but no worries here. This one ticks all the boxes. Caramel is the main flavour, but I can also pick up a citrussy flavour that’s almost reminiscent of clementine, and a fairly delicate smattering of cinnamon in the background. The cinnamon here reminds me of Glitter and Gold, although that’s a completely different flavoured tea overall. The caramel here is definitely the star, and that’s how it should be. A yummy pre-bedtime treat on a cold evening!
Ommgggg this one’s so good, and has been discontinued for no good reason. Jealous! (I have a bit left, but not much!)
