Naturally, I had to include this in my Hanukkah tea lineup. Funnily enough, even though this is more intensely sweet than the DT latke blend, I like this better. I think because it’s trying to match a purely sweet flavor profile, I’m not having that feeling of wanting it to be something else (in the case of the latke blend, more savory). The DT Hanukkah gift set should just be a bundle of these two blends instead of a random assortment of teabags with a worse cost-to-tea ratio than the advent calendars. But I digress!
I like this one hot and unadulterated. The notes of jam, powdered sugar, and seemingly specifically fried pastry are just spot on.
