This is a nice, smooth non-fussy almond tea. Its a little lighter in flavor than I like, so I might play around with it a bit to see if more leaf will bring out more almond flavor. The dry leaf smells sweeter than it brews up. I find I like this a bit better with a tad of simple syrup, not because its bitter. I think I just like my nutty teas with a bit of sweetness.
This being the second black tea that I ordered, I really like that the tea base Stacy uses doesn’t get bitter when steeped longer than recommended. So far, I’ve used much less sugar than I have with other teas. I think that’s a testament to how well her teas are blended!
This cup was prepared with 1 1/2 tsp. in 6 oz. of water at the below preparation details.

Looks really good!
Hi! So glad you are enjoying this tea! This is a re-blend of our almond cookie so its not really heavy on the almond but I will be working on another black tea that has a strong almond flavor with nothing else added. I’m glad you are enjoying the base tea. For the base of this tea we use our Organic Kundaly which has a lighter natural sweetness with some walnut notes. We also make our Raspberry Truffle with that base too.
Good to know – I was eyeing the Raspberry Truffle, but it’ll make it into the next order! :)
Raspberry Truffle is yummy :D
