I purchased this for myself prior to trying the Orange Chocolate Sweet Spice my mother got for me. I thought I would like this one better, that it would be more to my tastes. Apparently she knows me better than I do. I guess that’s a mom thing. Anyway, this is pretty good. Nothing that makes it stand out except it can be resteeped while the Orange Chocolate Sweet Spice can’t. It is what i consider to be a quintessential tea color. It has very caramel-ly notes for me and some spice and a lot of nut. I don’t really get the fruit notes but I can see the little candied pieces so I know they’re in there. Hello, little fruities! I wish you were a touch more prominent! Wouldn’t go out of my way to stock this again. There are so many others out there to try.
