Almonette cookies.

Like, you know those gorgeous, delicately flavoured, perfectly crumbly iced cookies Voortman makes? Man, those were my favourite when I lived in Canada. I didn’t realise how much I missed them until I had this tea, and it was the same gloriously biscuitty, just a hint of almondiness, buttery gorgeousness, bolstered by a really nice backbone of earthy pu erh. I’m on my second steep of this and having au naturel this time after trying it first with milk. Yeah. This is a winner. I expect this one will stay in rotation in my cupboard until you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

OMG, those were my favourite growing up. I had no idea they were called that since our local grocery store just had all of them bulk, so they were “seashell cookies” to me haha.

I used to get them from the bulk section too! Those were the glorious days. I didn’t even know they still made them until I HAD to do a google search to recall the name of the thing this tea reminded me of. SO GOOD.
