I recently received a large envelope from Courtney and among her offerings were lots of things that were breakfast compatible, so I decided to start with this one because I’ve heard many great things about it and am quite curious.
I’ll go straight to the point. I have to admit that I forgot to sniff the dry leaf (again), but I’m sniffing the brewed tea and… What is that it smells like? It’s familiar to me, but what is it? There’s a honey-note in there, but that’s not the note that is perplexing me. It’s honey with something but the more I try to pin it down, the more it seems to elude me. Something sweet, I think. Honey and something else that is sweet. But what? Some kind of dessert, I think, but that’s as far as I go. I know I’ve had some tea before that smelled like this, but I just can’t think what. I give up.
The flavour is quite mild and also quite sweet. It’s not malty or grainy sweet, it’s more honey and that infuriating something else note again. What IS it??? Whatever it is, it’s building up a magnificent aftertaste, like my mouth has been coated with honey and… whatever it is. It’s a much milder tea than I was expecting, but gosh is this good!
I wish I hadn’t shared it with Husband now…

croissant? waffle?
I could be something sort of waffle-y.
Maybe like a waffle cone? or baklava?
I’ve never had baklava, so I couldn’t say. It’s difficult for me to remember it exactly now, but I believe it was something like if you imagine the flavour of a waffle and then make it more sort of creamy… It’s been a few weeks now since I actually drank it. (I still wish I hadn’t shared with Husband, though. :p )
Baklava is pretty amazing! Definitely worth a taste. Hmmm, creamy waffle. Will have to think about that. Maybe like a snicker doodle ice cream or something.
I’ve heard this one described as waffle-y and I could see baklava working too. This one is spectacular though, either way. :)
