Steep Information:
Amount: 1 teabag
Additives: none
Water: 6 ounces filtered boiling
Steep Time: a little over 5 minutes
Served: Hot
Tasting Notes:
Dry Leaf Smell: cinnamon, clove, red tea, woody
Steeped Tea Smell: cinnamon, clove, MilitiaJim was getting cardamom
Flavor: cinnamon, woody
Body: Medium
Aftertaste: spicy
Liquor: deep reddish-brown
This was part of the Tea Forte Winter Collection I got as a holiday gift. This is the last flavor!
This is a nice spicy red tea (I can’t do caffeine after 6 pm). The cinnamon really dominates and you need to look for the other flavors for you to recognize their presence.
Perhaps I should have steeped it longer? I also can’t smell or taste the lemongrass. I could see it though.
Post-Steep Additives: lactose free fat free milk
Made it creamier less water and masked the rooibos woodiness (not necessarily a positive).

pretty teacup!
Thank you :) I got it in a large assorted box of teacups my Mother-in-Law no longer wanted
Resteep: 6 minutes or more, 6 ounce cup, not as strong but drinkable, yea! I like it when teabags handle a resteep, it’s an unexpected surprise.
I agree with Lauren in that it’s a pretty cup!!
