The first sip of this tea (with milk and honey) gave me that asparagus taste that other reviewers mentioned….. it hit after the other flavors of the tea left. But my second sip didn’t bring the asparagus…it brought more of the bread….which makes me happy. (this is starting to sound like willy wonka’s gum that is a whole meal that bloats Violet Beauregard up like a blueberry! Salad and bread so far!) 3rd sip and I’m having trouble finding the asparagus…thank gourd. I think this is a great bready-tasing tea in general. It was frightening to see how quickly the water darkened in my teacup in just 1 minute 30 seconds, but apparently the depth of a tea’s flavor doesn’t equate to how long it steeps. (can you tell I’m a newbie?) After reading the other reviews, I thought I’d go dump the bag in the lunchroom at work even before I tried it, (scavengers/carrion) but I’m not going to do that. I’m going to recommend that if you don’t like asparagus, drink this tea with milk and a touch of honey… it’s bready and lovely without all the carbs!
Flavors: Asparagus, Bread, Malt
Haha, yes – I honestly feel many tasting notes read like a Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum review.
