I wanted to adore this tea, because I really like what I’ve had of A Quarter to Tea so far, but alas. I think I might be getting maple, but that fall pumpkin spice feeling isn’t setting in. It’s mostly just cinnamon. Lots of cinnamon.
I feel like this is chai that would be served in a dungeon. Like, something to comfort an old-school Protestant who refuses to convert to Catholicism (or vice versa!).
I can imagine a guard whispering, “Here you go, you profoundly stubborn darling. I hope you enjoy this final cuppa. You’re getting beheaded tomorrow.”
The old-timey bedraggled prisoner would snarl his grubby hands around the mug. He’d whisper “thanks” in an ill-used voice.
Then he would smile a mostly-toothless they-didn’t-brush-back-then smile. It would be his final smile before the executioner’s axe.

I’m sorry you didn’t love it, but I have to say that having just finished watching The Tudors on Netflix (finally!), this review is amazing to me!
Lauren, I did like it, though! My favorite of yours is that coconut carrot cashew. I want to try some more, too. Whenever I make my way through this stash of samples/trades, I’m coming to visit you and grab a few more ounces of that and a sampler pack. I’m still trying to figure out what I love. BUT I KNOW THE CARROT CASHEW IS ONE THING ON MY LIST.
Were you heartbroken when Anne Boelyn died, too? The show was’t the same without her.
Glad to hear it! :) I have a few more coconut flavors I’m working in right now, so those might be of interest when you make you’re order as well.
And yes! Natalie Dormer completely brought Anne Boelyn to life! Season 2 was easily the best to me because of her.
I only like coconut in the context of tea. Its weird plasticky texture is off-putting on top of a cake. I look forward to your offerings!
