Interesting that this is the only Steepster result when you type in ‘Prague’. Whoa was this a unique flavor. First, I love the little purple flowers. I couldn’t tell from the fragrance or from sipping it WHAT it was supposed to be. It seemed vaguely fruity, but something very uniquely fruity…. definitely no cherry here again like two of the other Noel teas! So looking at the description, what should be here is: caramel, prune, “vodka”, chocolate, clementine, papaya bits and flower petals. I guess what I’m tasting is a very interesting flavor that combines and results from all of these ingredients. I definitely taste a prune-like flavor that could be like a rummy plum or grape. But also hints of other fruits in the background that could be the papaya. Sweetness from any caramel. I don’t seem to taste any clementine or chocolate, but maybe it’s in the overall taste. Very interesting and I’m glad it isn’t another cherry cup! The second cup was much weaker on flavor though. I think all four of the Noel teas I’ve tried have the same black tea base, though I might be wrong.
Steep #1 // 1 heaping teaspoon for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 4 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled//5 minute steep

Flavors: Grapes, Plum, Rum, Sweet

I think just about all of the flavored DF blacks I’ve tried so far have the same base! It’s a little unfortunate, since IMO a few of them would’ve really benefited from something more robust.

Definitely. I think DF should have known tea addicts would love to try a lot of their flavors but not necessarily with the same base tea.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
