“Nerts. Don’t you hate it when you lose a whole tasting note? In brief: Packaging: Adorable. Christmas gift box with two good quality metal steeping baskets and an assortment of teas in test tubes...” Read full tasting note
The superintendents and department heads at my work are always kind to share corporate Christmas loot…a very cool Kansas City Tea gift box was thoughtfully handed off to a coworker and me. It contained two very nice metal steeping baskets with lids and a handful of tea samples in test tubes with corks—adorable packaging!
We took turns picking test tubes and this one came home with me. I didn’t see that particular tea name on the KC Tea website, so I have hypothesized that they seasonally renamed their Oriental Spice tea, which I have pictured along with this tea description. (Anybody familiar with Kansas City Tea Company? Correct me if I am wrong.)
At any rate, it is a pretty traditional black tea/spice blend that leads with some serious clove, then cinnamon, then a little orange peel. I’m finishing my first cup, sans milk or sweetener and it has gone a little bitter, but it smells lovely. Next cup gets a little sprucing and sweetening.
