The 6th Tea of Christmas – this time around, I made a few adjustments to the recipe out of necessity – because when I ordered the essence to create this tea, it would seem that I placed the order for pecan essence rather than walnut. So, this tea has been flavored with pecan essence (still nut free!) rather than walnut. To be honest – I think I like it better with the pecan. But maybe that’s because that’s what is right in front of me. I’m sure that had I managed to order the right stuff, I would be sitting here typing that the tea tastes delicious the way it is & it would not have crossed my mind for pecan to even come into the conversation.
Perhaps I will need to reblend this again sometime in the next year or so – with walnut flavoring. We’ll see.
Anyway, I love this tea. I’ve missed it – the last time I blended this – I think it was for the Kickstarter contributor rewards – so it’s been a while. I love the buttery notes, I love the nuttiness, I love the smooth flavor of the black teas & of course, I love the banana.
YUM!
Flavors: Bread, Butter, Malt, Pecan, Smooth
I’m reading this and laughing to myself… I still have both the Mango Ice Cream and Hot Buttered Banana Bread from the kickstarter! Definitely going to have to compare them, even though I know those teas are pretty old at this point.
