The sight of this was happy – it’s a colorful, full looking tea. The smell hits you right out of the freshly opened bag – whoah, nice aroma, cinnamon and spice and everything nice.
The brewed cup color is a nice red that reminds me of autumn, cranberries, and fall happiness. Now on to the tasting…
The taste is interesting and nice – a hottish cinnamon touch with the background of cloves, followed by a brief impression of bitterness from a fruit rind. I don’t get much of the orange effect, but I’m guessing the bitter rind is the part of that; I’d say a citrus zest.
I’m not a bitter fan but this is only a mild bitterness – very good stuff.
