This tea smells delightful. I have mainly had it at breakfast but I drank it all by its lonesome once. The black base is a little brisk, so really good with food. It has that nice raspiness I fond in a lot of Keemun tea.
This does not smell like pecan pie however. At least, not like a Southern pecan pie. Maybe in Europe they make an entirely different type but I have never had one with almond extract in it and that is what this tea is redolent of. It is nutty and delicious and I agree with those noted that it tastes a lot like marzipan. And I don’t even know if I have ever tasted marzipan…but I am sure this is what it would taste like. Now I need to go buy some marzipan.
Anyway, this is a sipdown. A good tea, I wouldn’t turn it down, but don’t know if it would be critical to repurchase. It would be a very pleasant visitor to the tea shelf now and then, even if not a shelf staple.
I agree with your entire note about this tea!
