I had a lot of fun at our work Christmas party today, loaded up on great food and great wine, we exchanged gifts (I can’t believe my boss gave me a wine glass that holds…wait for it…an entire bottle! omg!), and had great conversation.
I took a much needed nap when I got home, and then decided to open and try this tea. It wasn’t the tea i was most excited about, but given the season, it seemed appropriately festive. I tore the seal, and even before unsealing the zip, I could smell the sweet, coffee cake aroma of the tea. Coffee cake? Indeed, that’s the smell I got. Or if not coffee cake, then a rich, dark sort of chocolate or bitter coco or…something like that.
I set to work, brewed this up a bit strong, and settled down to drink it. I don’t know if it was really the best choice of tea, given that I’m relatively lactose intolerant and had a lactose-heavy lunch, because this tea screams milky and dense. It tasted good, but not quite like what I had expected. If I hadn’t known this was marshmallow tea, i wouldn’t have really guessed it. And I still couldn’t shake the coffee cake associations. I am happy to report, however, that I could certainly smell and taste the base black tea, and that always makes me happy: I love it when companies don’t cover up a bad base tea with a ton of flavour. Nope, let her shine right through, I say!
Anyway, this is a nice, sweet cup of tea. I can’t honestly say I feel passionately about its awesomeness the way so many steepsterites do, but I also don’t think I’ll struggle to finish the package I got. And hey, if I can’t, I know people will clamber to take it off my hands.
ETA: TMI alert.
Omg! I just threw up! and…tasted this tea again. Eww eww eww.
Who wants the rest of my package of this? I’m serious.
