The second of my Kusmi splurge. :)
The first time I smelled this, I definitely got a sense of the citrus, and vanilla, and spices (the clove comes out strongly). But then I had a revelation: This tea smells like Coca-Cola! So now all I smell is Coke. :P
Brewed, it smells more like black tea with clove. Mmmm.
It kind of tastes like Coke, too, but spicier (not overly spicy, though). It’s smooth and warm. Mmm. It has a little bit of sweetness to it too, but it’s not anything overpowering. It’s not overly anything, and the flavors just work really well together. I like! :)
Since my St. Petersburg turned out a bit strong this morning with a steep time of 3 mins, I thought I’d try this at 2 to see how that would be, and it works! Yay!

Hmmm, coca cola…. I think I do recall it a bit, but more like really hot boiling coca cola. Now that’s just weird =P

Hahaha, yeah! But someday, perhaps I’ll make this iced with some sugar and try this side-by-side with Coke to see how close it really is. :P
