I was happy to reblend this tea – not only because it is a fairly simple tea to reconstruct but also because it’s quite delicious! This tea was released shortly before we took over 52Teas and I think the timing of its release didn’t allow me the time to review it for the SororiTea Sisters blog before taking over. So this is – I believe – my first time reviewing the tea!
Frank described this tea like this:
I thought it would be fun to pair a rich bold assam tea with marshmallow root and organic marshmallow flavors. This is sweet, soothing, and delicious.
What I remember liking so much about the original blend – and about this re-blended version as well – is that the natural malty flavors of the Assam paired so nicely with the sweet, fluffy notes of marshmallow. I didn’t stray from the recipe a great deal – because why? The only real difference here is that the Assam I use is from a different supplier – as is the marshmallow root.
This tea makes for a delightful breakfast tea – it’s sweet and comforting yet rich and robust with the gusto to get you up and at ’em!
organic ingredients: black tea, marshmallow root & natural flavors.
