I got a cup of this tea to go while I was shopping at a local open air mall. It was really chilly out and the hot, sweet, cinnamony perfection of this tea just really hit the spot. I waited to buy this tea when it was 75% off and got a rather large tin for $14. WIN. lol. The first few times I tried making this tea at home however, I was consistently let down. It took me a while to get the brewing on this one right. Heat water just below boiling. For me, 2 1/2 tsp per 8oz of water gives it enough strength and body.
This tea does seem rather “dusty” at the bottom, and I do agree that it can be “oily” as well. I think it would be an awesome tea to try as a latte though- yum!
