November Sipdown Prompt – a tea for which you are especially thankful
Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate! I am thankful for all my Steepster peeps – more than you know.
Apparently the point of this tea is that they don’t tell you what the flavors are, and I am a bit rubbish at pinning flavors down. What I do know, and Ashman concurred, is that it tastes like a black tea version of Jardin Sauvage, a green rooibos tea that we both enjoy very much. Mostly I get mango but I thought I got a bit of banana once in the first cup.
This morning I asked Ashman what he wanted for our breakfast tea and he said he wanted something with fruit or berry flavors. We only drank about half of the big pot because we had a lot to do to get lunch ready.
After lunch, we wanted to have tea with our pound cake and instead of making a new pot I offered to heat it (calm down calm down) by mixing it with my cold steeped English Breakfast from Rare Tea Co. Cache-cache was room temp at that point. The strange thing was that even with 12 ounces of a good black tea added, I fully tasted Cache-cache. It was delicious with our pound cake and homemade ice cream.
