“So I was reading on here earlier today (I think it was someone’s note? or maybe it was in the comments?) about how they usually use more than 1 tsp of tea when they are making herbal tea so I...” Read full tasting note
“Well, this is certainly potent and probably better made with a t-sac. This kind of seemed to permeate into the older teas in the tea box so I had to toss a few, but they had no scent anyway. So...” Read full tasting note
“This SMELLS wonderful! Plum and spice for sure! It ‘brews up’ extremely dark! Purple. Good LORD! This is puckery! Sour! Mostly sour plum and very little spice. Not sure if I can handle it.” Read full tasting note
“Whoops, let this steep too long. I got wrapped up in character development and lost track of steeping. So this cuppa is kinda bitter. This is a stand-in for my holiday fave, Sugar Plum Spice from...” Read full tasting note
An herbal infusion with the delightful essence of cinnamon and plums. Heartier than most herbals, this one has a presence that will surprise you.

Funny, I didn’t even put this in my cupboard.. I knew it would be outside my interest. Ah well. I tried it, and then dumped it. Why? It brewed up a purple-ish color, and then went blood-red almost immediately — never a good sign for me. Honestly? It tasted like spiced blood, and that’s something I find unappealing.
Regardless, my colleague Helen in Australia sent this along, and I am really grateful for all the great teas she gave me the opportunity to try.
Made a very rich, colorful cup of tea that made the house smell really good. Tastes pretty tarte (which I like), a little bitter (which I don’t like), and I would prefer a bit more cinnamon and spice on there. Also not a fan of the little bits that get through my infuser, but tolerable.
Brewed a cup of this with my sister while we set up the family Christmas tree this evening. I forgot how nice this tea is!
First of all: COLOR. Holy cow, what a beautiful deep purple.
Second: The plum flavoring brings you to a warm happy place.
Spice blood, hey? I guess it is safe to say you are not a vampire.
Agreed! It would do well for a blood color though.. made me think of painting.
Spiced blood?! I can’t imagine what that would taste like. I’m not sure I want to..
Hibiscus always tastes rather bloody to me. Rosehip as well to some degree.
Sounds vile. I am guessing this one contained hibiscus?
