Wow does this one smell good. It smells like the holidays with a rich creamy eggnog/light spice aroma.
I have brewed this one a few times and each time I’ve brewed it hot. My first sip is a let down because it just doesn’t live up to the aroma. The black tea is just more dominant than I’d like. But, by the middle of the mug my opinion has completely changed. This really starts to taste delicious as it cools. The eggnoggy creaminess just dominates with the light spiciness and black tea flavors more balanced. The aftertaste is also creamy good. I suspect this would be really delicious if cold brewed, but then I’d miss the aroma – and the aroma is so good.

Is this more of a golden leaf or a dark leaf?
I’m looking at the tea now and I’d have to say it’s definitely tippy. The majority is dark, but there are golden leaves throughout and the dark isn’t as dark as say an assam. I guess you could call it bicolor. The leaves are nicely twisted and fairly small. With the marigold petals mixed in, it’s quite attractive.
Thank you for your detailed answer. :D
