This came in my subscription packet from Bird & Blend just yesterday. I am so stoked, because this month I think I will love all three teas! I decided to try this one this afternoon. The name reminds me of those Ferrerro Roche candies. Yum, I love those things, so I was glad to try this tea.
I bet this tea has a heavenly scent. I had my steroid shot about a month ago but the sense of smell never returned. Pity. No smelling the Thanksgiving turkey roasting or the aroma of apple pie baking. And no scent of the festive teas. I hate that. I really wish they would find an actual cure of Samters. If I were a person of the male persuasion with a certain dysfunction, I would have my pick of treatments. But breathing and smelling isn’t as important I suppose.
Okay, this tea. Smooth. Very smooth. Brews up a nice amber color. The mouth feel is silky. The hazelnuts are ‘carmelised’ with sugar. There is a very faint note of sweetness, but not that icky sweetness from stevia. I can taste sweet, and this was barely there. Just enough to round out the flavor. It had a very faint hint of astringency at one point when it cooled. Next time I shall drink it faster so it doesnt’ get to that temp.
All in all, this first of the teas in the subscription package is delightful. I can see myself ordering 50 grams of this in the future.
Flavors: Caramel, Smooth
