I had this as an after dinner tea — partly because it’s a leftover from the Sweet Indulgence sampler I ordered last year and I don’t want it going bad, partly to make room in my tea cupboard. I over-ordered from the Teavana and DAVIDsTEA end of year sales, got tea for Christmas and, well … my tiny kitchen has tins and bags everywhere. It would be nice to cook without having to move tea out of the way every time I have to take something out. For that matter, it would be nice to make tea without having to move tea tins out of the way of my kettle.
Anyway. This was a sample I didn’t have a whole lot of interest in. It’s fruity, but the smell doesn’t leave much of an impression on me. Steeped, however, it’s wonderful. The liquor is a pretty pink and it tastes like dusky fruit, enough to get the point across while still remaining subtle. I absolutely love it!
