This tea was added to my collection because I need more caffeine free teas. Not easy since my favorites are the flavored black teas. Anyway, the dry smell is nice just not too strong. I can smell the maple and see the pretty leaves.
Taste… Meh. I can taste a light maple with what seems to be a hint of caramel. It is sweet so no need to add sugar. I wonder if milk will bring out the maple flavor more.
I added milk. It is still sweet, if not sweeter, but I am still not blown away. I think I like birthday cake more. They are similar but birthday cake has a stronger taste.
I am definitely going to drink what is in my stash, but I don’t think this tea will have a permanent place in my cupboard.
