First of all, I love the scent. You can totally smell those almonds, yum. They’re the strongest flavor note as well, which is fine by me. I’m just happy the licorice root didn’t present a strong flavor, which I was worried about — NOT a fan of licorice in tea. The packaging recommends steeping for 4-5 minutes, and I’d recommend the lower end of that spectrum. I went for 5 and it’s just a touch too bitter.

This tea is litterally my diet at the moment. Upon smelling it’s content you will be tempted to eat it, but don’t. It tastes just like it smells, it’s that nice. Think ‘’white tea meets almond dessert’’.

I was surprised at how much this tea smelled like roasted almonds and only a little fruit. Also, the licorice listed on the ingredients list is completely undetectable.

I’m surprised I like this one, but it’s definitely growing on me. I didn’t steep it long enough the first time and it tasted a little watery, but the nuts were quite prominent but not overpowering as I’d expected. There was also some lovely undernotes of fruit and a clean white tea flavour. The second time was much better, a fuller taste this time, the nuts were quite prominent again, but the other flavours were nicely balanced this time and it was actually quite a good tasting tea.

I’m hoping this one continues to grow on me, but for now, I’d say that I quite like it

One of my favourite teas of all time. The taste is indescribable! Also, this tea just LOOKS awesome. There is nothing quite like the almond punch infused into this tea. I sometimes grow tired of other teas, but never of this one; I keep it as a special treat, and every time I come back to it, I remember how much I love it. I also like how it tastes exactly how it smells, so if you like the smell, you will fall under the tea’s spell as well.

This is a strange tea. Quite obviously it smells very almondy, which kinda turned me off, but I tried it anyway. If I didn’t add sugar to this, I wouldn’t be able to drink it. It’s definitely almondy – sweet, and I’m trying to taste the goji berries… It takes getting used to but I think it’s an okay tea once you get past the smell.

This tea is awesome and is very helpful and delicious when sick. It doesn’t have mint or ginger, (though it does have almond). It is a very soothing drink on the throat and is sweeter than most teas for colds.

Sipdown (110)!

Thanks again for sending some of this one my way VariaTEA!

Finished this one off in my timolino; it has some licorice root sweetness and a bit of an almost powdery cocoa taste but mostly it was just really, really strong and pretty delicious almond notes with a lot of soft, silky base. I actually have found both times I made this myself I liked it quite a lot more than the time I had it in store which does make me feel like my iced To Go drink was pretty underleafed. The flavour difference is just too drastic for it to have not been since I haven’t been overleafing…

That said I’m still not super big into this one; it’s not really ‘different’ enough to make me want a whole lot more. Maybe if the fruit notes were stronger? Then I feel like there’d be enough flavour juxtaposition. I am gonna bump my rating up slightly though!

Final cup tonight shared with a friend. Yum. This doesn’t make me quite as insane as ArgoTea’s snowflake white tea did but there’s still that reminder hanging around.

Nutty good warming brew.
