I wasn’t sure I would like this one since it has almond, but the combination sounded too interesting to pass up. It has chocolate, smoke, almond, and cinnamon.
It smelled very almondy in the pouch, but honestly all of the added flavors are quite mild in the cup. I mostly taste the lapsang, which is mellow since it’s blended with other teas. Then there’s a bit of almond/marzipan and a touch of chocolate, along with a very subtle sprinkling of cinnamon.
Overall, it’s perfectly pleasant, but I feel like it needs a little more oomph from at least one of the flavors, as it’s a bit too subtle to me. There’s a bit of a whiskey barrel character to it that could be interesting if it were a little more balanced.
