Still on my journey to find some puerhs that I like in addition to cinnamon swirl bread and aztec spice. This smelled very strongly of puerh dry so I wasn’t hopeful, in fact, I picked out what tea I would have if this needed to be dumped. Thankfully, no dumping necessary. There is an unexpected (until I reread the description) coffee flavor that either complements the puerh really well or masks it, i can’t tell. Either way, the cinnamon cookie flavor is great. If you don’t like coffee you won’t like this tea. I added frothed milk and honey and this tastes exactly like what I can only imagine a cinnamon cookie latte at coffee shop would taste like. I’m cool with it! I’ll make some for my mom. This is right up her alley.
This is You :-D

I love tea. And I love beer. I spent my twenties thoroughly enjoying all that beer has to offer but now that I’m into my thirties and a stay at home mom of 2 little kids and 1 big kid, I spend more time enjoying tea.
I joined steepster in Feb 2013 and it’s crazy how much my tastes have changed since joining. Before, I liked cream and honey in all teas and loved mostly dessert blacks. Now I almost rarely drink them, but enjoy them from time to time. What I love more than anything are straight rich black teas, Fujian, Laoshan, Rizhao, etc… I also love pretty much any black tea that the little leaf hoppers have gotten their teeth on.
I’m still not too into the green/white/oolong varieties. I keep trying to but my tastes are evolving pretty slowly on that front.
Overall, I just enjoy tea. Something about it that just settles me.
