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!

Preparation

Bio

About Me: newlywed! I studied biomedical sciences and will start up medical school here soon. I love to read, paint, sketch, bake, crochet, knit, and lounge around with my Samoyed (Kenai) and two cats (Callie and Maya.) Fandom nerd and Disney girl.

About me and tea: I think I will always and forever consider myself a tea newbie.

I love learning new things about tea, and continue to branch out and try new tea as much as I can. For the most part my favorites seem to be dessert teas. Sweet tooth anyone? lol. I’d love to hear about other people’s favorites, and where you go for tea! My local choices are pretty limited, i.e. Teavana, so bring on the online shopping ;)

Rating System: I’ll try to stick to it ;P
