This one has been on my list for a while. Thank you for swapping some of this tea with me, ToiToi! I haven’t had a chance to taste this tea until now! The initial sip of this tea is thick and reminds me of liquor and raisins. The tea base is a bit more brisk than I expected from Lupicia. I taste a bit of chestnut flavor towards the end of the sip, but it’s blending with this dark raisin/berry note. The finish is of the black tea base (a little smooth, drying, a tad burnt-tasting) and something artificial. I have to say that I’m a bit disappointed in this tea only because I was expecting such a nice chestnut flavor from the other reviews.

I liked their green chestnut tea a little better.
Dustin- I’ve thought about giving that one a try, but I’m worried that it might taste the same to me. What do you like more about the green chestnut?
I love the green chestnut but haven’t tried this.
I like that greens are lighter. Chestnut is a delicate flavor to come through in a tea and I feel like the black base doesn’t give it enough room to shine. If it was paired with something heavier like chocolate, I can see black being a reasonable base to choose, but on it’s own it needs something milder.
