This tea has held up surprisingly well over the years. I have a few cups worth left. As nice as it has been, I’m excited to move beyond it while I enjoy these last cups. It’s very smooth and mellow at this point. It lacks a pepper spiciness that I like and find warming in chais and has more of a baked goods flavor. I’m picking out the ginger above all right now and getting hints of pumpkin spice, which always makes me want pie. Every year around Thanksgiving I tell myself I’m going to do a pumpkin pie cleanse, where I eat nothing but pumpkin pie and every year I fail to stick to my cleanse. To be fair, I do get a few pies in before I abandon my mission. I’ll have to better prepare for next year! Until then, I can dream of pie while sipping this tea!
