YUM! This tea tastes so much of sweet potato (which I noticed especially on the second and third steepings) that I’m wondering if I should sweeten it with brown sugar and marshmallows, lol. It goes excellently with milk and sugar, in any case. :)
(So . . . apparently I like sweet potato notes in my tea? That seems to be the gist of this.)
