This one is pretty good! The smell is absolutely divine. All sugary and almost latte like. Steeped for 3 minutes using their directions, it’s not quite what I was hoping for. I think that if I use a little extra leaf in my giant mug, it will be perfect. It’s fairly sweet on its own, with a bit of a coffee scent. With a little cream, the delicious sugary dessert flavour comes out a bit more. I’ll probably add some sugar as well, just because I’m craving sweet delicious comforting tastes right now.

It’s leaning a tiny bit towards astringent, so definitely check your water temperature. I let it cool for about 3 minutes while I complained on Facebook that I couldn’t decide what tea to try. :)

I’m not sure I’ll get more of this one right away (Divine Temptation smells GLORIOUS, and might be a little more “me” for flavour), but for a really reasonable flavoured black tea, this is pretty good!

Hope everyone else at the swap and meet-up today likes this one as well. :)

Hahahahah. I think we have 28 oz combined. :P I gave some of it to OMGsrsly in exchange for some of her Forever Nuts

OMGsrsly

That’s really 7 heaping perfect spoons of forever nuts, too. Why did I buy that much again? Oh right. It was on sale. (Save me from the tea sales!)
