I grabbed a sample from the tea box to share with my sister since she loves coffee teas. She finds the strongest flavor to be cardamom. I’m not a coffee person and definitely find the strongest flavor to be coffee. We had it with milk, and it was all right, but we’ve preferred all of DT’s other coffee blends to this one. It needed more complexity. On the other hand, this tea is probably pretty old – maybe it once had more flavor!
