I bought this when I was stocking up on White Christmas, mostly based on the reviews. When I opened the bag, I was immediately surprised by how sweet it smelled. I suppose I expected a nuttier profile based on what I read and the ingredients in the tea itself. My assumption was that the saccharine scent would wear off once it was brewed up. Not so much. This tastes like sugar to me with a warm, grain-like undertone. I tried a second steep with pretty much the same result, and puzzled over what it was this tea reminded me of. After a few more sips, it occurred to me: Lucky Charms, the breakfast cereal I occasionally indulged in as a kid. It’s like a spoonful of the marshmallows with that weird, cardboard-ish oat grain that’s been soaked in 2% milk. It isn’t bad, per se, but after that HIMYM-style glass shattering revelation, I can’t really bring myself to drink it. Fortunately, my sib really seems to enjoy it, so I’ll just pawn it off on her.
Flavors: Grain, Marshmallow, Oats, Sugar

Aargh, just ordered some of this, hope it agrees with me more.
“HIMYM-style” :):):)
Aw, well, remember that my sib digs it. So it might just be my taste buds, honestly. Wish you luck with it~ And that episode was a defining moment for me. It gave all past and future epiphanies a certain, audible characteristic.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually kind of hoping I’ll get Lucky Charms out of this when I try it.
