Tea #31 from HHTTB2
Dry, this tea honestly doesn’t smell that different from Oatmeal Raisin Cookie tea. Both are mildly baked goods smelling, and both smell strongly of cinnamon.
The neat thing about this one is that it seriously goes all rice krispy sounding while steeping. Thanks pop rocks!
Once steeped, unless I get my nose right up into the cup, it still smells almost exactly like Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. IF I’m right up in there, it becomes more spicy cinnamon.
Even unsweetened, this is really quite sweet (thanks again, pop rocks). Once you get past the surprising amount of sweetness, it’s quite a spicy, warming cinnamon flavor that stays spicy on the tongue. Most of the black base gets overwhelmed. Overall, this is pretty much a more potent extra-cinnamon-ed version of Glitter & Gold (and just as gimmicky!) And that’s absolutely not a bad thing!
