A bit too dark and roasty for me. It reminds me a lot of burnt coffee. I think it could have been the mate, but I’m not sure. While my sample is a bit old, I would have liked more nutty flavours in my cup. It might be the age of the sample, though.
Flavors: Almond, Herbs, Roasted, Wood

This is one of the teas I have in my home cupboard. I’ve found that it does have a pretty dark, roasty taste on longer steeps (5-6 minutes). That produces a very dark color that does look very coffee-like. I usually steep this one around 3-4 minutes instead, so that it will come out a bit lighter; usually a sort of maple-tone. Mine has a very full, nutty flavor with very strong scented leaves, but with a sort of “toasty” or “roasted nut” appeal. Certainly not desserty like some nut teas I’ve tried.
That sounds like my experience with it. I’ve had a few cups with it, but none were as desserty as I was hoping.
