A little while back my mom was in Winnipeg on vacation and I asked her to stop at Cornelia Bean for me to pick up some teas. A lot of what I wanted to restock on isn’t carried by them anymore but I did get some new teas! She shipped them out a few days ago, and that package arrive in MTL last week so I’ve been enjoying sipping through them…
This is a very, very simple blend. Just a straight forward juicy, dense tasting orange blend on a brisk, full-bodied black tea base. It’s the kind of tea that can either come off as boring or reliable/consistent depending on your mood. I did enjoy this mug of it though. I thought the orange notes were deep and weighty enough to properly convey the blood orange they were going for and I appreciate that it wasn’t excessively sweet either.
