As I was pouring the tea a gnat flew straight at the line of water. I thought for sure it was going to just keep going and I was going to have to fish it out. But no. Instead it is annoying me by randomly appearing and probably laughing menially while I slap myself. The tea is safe. For the moment. I adore the Cinnamon Orange blend that this company makes. Even though I’m not a big fan of flavored teas the nostalgia from that one is pretty intense. That being said I am interested to see how this one stacks up. The dry leaf is nice looking. Medium-sized dark brown leaves with a spritz of calendula petals. The aroma is a bit weird. Kind of reminds me of cherry cough syrup. Spilled on cherry wood. Oh, and maybe a Marchino cherry with a bit of vanilla. The flavor has a bit of an alcohol twang to it. Woody undertones, slight bready notes finished with a side of Woodford Reserve. I would not seek this out over my Cinnamon Orange but it was good to try this once.
