We used to roast chestnuts on an open fire in our house. But my mom kept getting sick. We then realized she doesn’t do well with campfire smoke. 20 years later I’m still not a fan of chestnuts but this tea intrigues me. The steeping aroma is delicately nutty with woody undertones that dance with some chocolate notes same with the flavor. When you drink it the notes come out almost exactly in the order described above. If left to steep too long some bitter nutty notes come out that remind me of whiskey. After not having any tea for almost a week I feel like I am stuffing my face full to refill.
No tea for a WEEK?!?!
Yeah… went to my brother’s wedding in NY. The one place we stopped for tea didn’t actually serve any and I could just not stomach the $6 + for a cup of matcha.. not with all the other expenses
