New Tasting Notes
There are little chocolate chips in this blend, along with marigold petals and apricot flavoring. This tea seems to get bitter really fast. Boiling water + 1 minute and it’s got a bite. I’ll have to try a lower temperature.
Add milk and honey and this is a real treat. It calms the bitterness and brings out the sweetness of the tea.
Tea with attitude (and altitude). I like the idea of “Damn Fine Tea.” Damn fine packaging too. This is the first Nepal tea I’ve tasted and it reminds me a lot of a darjeeling I have in my cupboard. The recommended steep time was 3 minutes, and I let it sit about a minute too long…
Smells like Rice Cakes before steeping – it smells more like typical Green Tea after steeping! I used to not like this tea much but I am truly a believer in the thought that our tastes change. This is a pleasant and FUN Tea. You can even see the popped rice (often mistaken for popCORN).
