My third (and final) infusion: Sweet honey-like undercurrent, with a pleasant spiced foreground. Less of a wood-like taste than what was present in the second infusion. This is smoother and mellower, although the texture is more similar to the first infusion than to the second, and less astringency now too.

I LOVE this tea.

Hi LiberTEAS,
I am delighted by this set of tasting notes as it really reminds me of trying this for the first time. You have a great palate for finding all the nuances. I love that you also notice how the second steeping suddenly has all that cinnamon flavor coming through that wasn’t there at first. Tea can be so full of surprises!

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:

I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!
