This is back in my stash. It’s finally starting to get cold here, and I was craving an old standby. Good ol’ Constant Comment, you $3 wonder.
Of course, I used too much water and made it a bit more mild than I meant to. That’s ok, though, the clove is still so comforting. The orange is still festive. The cinnamon is still warming. And there’s still a nice black tea kick.
Next cup, I’ll go with a shorter steep time. This one was just practice.

Sometimes those grocery store bagged teas are awful. Constant Comment isn’t.
@Maddy Barone No doubt! So reliable and good.
Everytime I drink it I think “hello there, my old friend”. Perfect for a cold day.
My first tea when I was young.
My gateway tea, too.
Huh. The one time I tried this tea all I could taste was the paper from the bag… and I had REMOVED it from the teabag and steeped it in a gravity well steeper. I even tried a second teabag, removed from the bag just like the first, and got the same result. The paper-taste in my cup was so overwhelming I couldn’t really taste the tea.
@Mastress Alita You must have gotten a really old batch or something. This stuff is super flavorful.
