This tea opens with the taste of evergreen trees: pine, cedar. Warming spice follows closely behind, then mellows into a soft, creamy freshness. (At a cooler temperature it becomes slightly floral.) The finish is very roasty with hints of basil and spearmint. Clean, but with a velvety mouthfeel. I’m noticing a lot of qi in this tea tonight: my feet and hands feel hot and my head’s a little woozy. Interesting! It’s very good. It makes me think of standing underneath a cedar tree, with the cool wind tugging at my hair…the gurgling sound of a stream in the distance. It’s refreshing and earthy. The spices—especially the peppercorn—are making the back of my throat pleasantly tingly. The taste that clings to my tongue long, long afterwards is like vanilla, pepper, roasted nuts, and brown sugar.
I just checked WPT’s site and Evergreen Spice isn’t listed anymore? ): Oh no. I think I’ll share the last of this with my nature-loving friend. I had a pot of Ashes of Autumn with him yesterday and he loved it.

Sounds really good. Too bad it’s discontinued. I think Yabao gives you that warm sensation.
I think you’re right! It’s only getting worse the more I steep. Good though. It just keeps getting sweeter/creamier…
…oh, I wish I had known it was being discontinued. I’ve been hoarding it. /:
I discovered WP recently, so never had this blend. But I’m looking forward to getting Sleeping Bear and El Dorado;)
Never had the pleasure of trying this one either…but I can tell you that The Sleeping Bear is just delightful, and I expect greatness from Eldorado!!
Sleeping Bear was unremarkable to me, but I’m not much for green teas. Seems like most people who like greens (and jasmine) really love it. (: I’m excited for El Dorado too! All of the chai blends Brenden has created are fantastic. I put Golden Chai on my recent order since I noticed it was finally back in stock. I’ve been waiting for it.
El Dorado sounds likes its gonna be sublime and I can’t wait!!!
It’s my policy that all discontinued blends are always available as special-order with a minimum of 4oz as long as I still have or can get the ingredients. :) So don’t worry about not being able to get certain discontinued blends…as long as I still have the recipe, I can still make it :) Though I am thinking about reformulating this tea and relaunching in the fall…we’ll see…
Going to have some El Dorado right now! MzPriss and TTF better not overleaf this the first time around! ;)
Haha! Brenden, I ALWAYS give you the benefit of the doubt and try it your way first :-)
@Brenden – now you know good and well that we always mind you the first time
