My first almond tea! Yes, I did it, I had a cup of an almond tea, and im good so far in terms of allergies! I’ll review this as best as I can with it being my first tea with nuts in it lol, and first nuts pretty much!

The dry smell is super peachy and fragrant, with a hint of almond. I steeped for 4 minutes (shortest amount of time for the almonds lol) and the smell is still peachy, fresh yet quite sweet as well.

As for the flavor, this is pretty tasty! I get a lot of nutty flavor, but that’s probably because I’m not used to that flavor at all. The peach adds a sweetness to complement the almond quite nicely. This is a fresh and satisfying cup, seems filling to me, but that could be the pizza I had had for for dinner lol.

Overall, a tasty tea for my first ever tea with actual almonds in it! For almond flavoring, i still like the almond matcha by Red leaf the best, but this has a slightly similar flavor but not as sweet. I’m not rating it yet as this was an experiment and i definitely can’t fully form an opinion on it until I try almonds more often. Yay for things working out well though in my testing!!

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
