Husband ordered some TeaMaze goodies this winter to surprise me, and chose this one as part of the package. It is a decently fine Ceylon tea with a little brown sugar sweetness if you steep it sufficiently long, but is not quite stout enough for my breakfast tea needs. Extra sweetness points because it was a thoughtful gift.
However, it underscores another wise principle my husband taught me: “Get what they’re known for.” Don’t get the salad at a hamburger place, don’t get meat loaf at the fish and chips establishment—they may serve it, but it isn’t their specialty. In my experience, the same applies to smaller tea emporiums (emporia?) - if they are known for their creative dessert blends, get those; if they are known for above-the-ceiling quality single-origin teas; get those. Teamaze has some of my favorite novelty blands and flavors-I’ll get those and acquire my plain leaves elsewhere.

Good advice!
OH…that’s where my soapbox rant went! I thought I had lost a whole note!
LOLOL I thought it was odd, you posting a long comment on an old note!
I’ve also been looking for one black sock for six weeks now. Let me know if you see it.
