This tea is a little bizarre to me. It produces a strange tingling on the tongue almost like alcohol. Maybe it’s the vanilla? The mix of spices? Whatever it is, it’s not what I’m looking for in a tea and I don’t like it.
Once I get past that it’s fine, flavor-wise. Strong vanilla and apple and not much else. Unfortunately I can’t get past the way this feels in my mouth to really enjoy it.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
