Last one from this month’s gifted Tea Runners subscription.
The dry leaf aroma of this tea is pretty strong and sweet, and it definitely was giving me very maple-like associations. Steeped I didn’t really get maple at all though, which is probably good because that might be a little weird for Creme Brulee. It’s sweet (one of the sweetest Tea Runners blends I’ve tried so far) but not cloying, with some pleasant custardy vanilla flavours that coat the mouth. I want to write a better tasting note because I was really impressed with this tea but I also drank it so, so fast because of that. Didn’t make good mental notes because I was trying to just enjoy the cuppa in the moment…
