I’ve been waiting for the SO to get back into town to try this, as she’s the black tea person. What a smell! The dry leaf balls smell very sweet. The wet leaves also smell sweet and a bit creamy with a hint of toastiness. The liquor is a medium color while remaining fairly transparent and tastes—as the SO put it—like something you would have with pancakes. Sweet and somewhat creamy, it definitely tastes french toasty or like a syrup.
She likes it so much that she tries to steal the cha hai and take the rest of the first steep for herself. The second steep is even more flavorful as the leaves expand more, and we get a good few flavorful steeps after that, as well. We will definitely be coming back to this one again.
Flavors: Cream, Maple Syrup, Sweet, Vanilla
