The scent of this brewing is utterly delicious. Warm buttery, sugary pastry goodness…I couldn’t wait till it was cool enough to taste it! (I’m one of those weirdos who only likes warm hot tea, lol, but you have to brew it at the right heat first. I really annoy myself.) And then the flavor just disappoints. The fruitiness (I’m guessing it is cherry, as mentioned in the other review) just jars the taste. It’s not bad, but it has no place with the brown sugar, caramel aromas, and it’s very strong and somewhat sour. I can’t say I disliked it, but I don’t really have a desire to try it again, either.

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Caramel, Cherry, Cookie

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

It’s definitely the cherry you’re tasting (and maybe the raspberry) – it’s kind of weird, for sure. The sourness is because they used sour cherries…

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
