I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this tea. I’m not a huge fan of green teas, but I like eggnog and praline flavors and the dry leaves smell good. The tea itself doesn’t smell quite as good, since it has a strong vegetal note. The flavor is fresh and vegetal with a light pecan note. I tried added sweetener and that helped, and then decided to try adding milk like another reviewer did. Bingo! It created a creamy eggnog flavor and perfected the sweet praline finish. You can still taste the freshness of the green tea, but maybe with a lesser steeping time that taste wouldn’t be as noticeable. I doubt that I would order more of this one, and the fiancee is quietly sipping his cup without exclamations of “OMG this is amazing”, so we will just enjoy finishing off the rest of this little pouch. It is a unique tea, so I’m glad I got to try it and it does suit this time of the year perfectly!
