drank Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire by 52teas

Here’s Hoping TTB

One of my all-time favorite dessert teas is Roasted Chestnut from TeaSource, so I was curious to see how this one stacked up. Initially, I was turned off by the strong smoky scent the tea gave off as it brewed, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance anyway! There’s definitely some smoke going on in this blend, but it’s balanced by out by a bit of sweet caramel and a lot of rich, nutty flavor. I quite enjoyed my cup!

Flavors: Caramel, Nutty, Smoke

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Thanks for your thoughts on this one. For Christmas this year, I’m planning on going a bit lighter on the Lapsang Souchong in the blend so that the chestnut flavor is more dominant.

Mmm, that sounds like it will be even more delicious!

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
