drank Caramelized Pear by Market Spice
961 tasting notes

I wish that Market Spice would offer samples of their tea blends or even just let you order sizes smaller than 4oz. They have some wonderful blends that I love so much, but I’m always leery about trying something new from them because I know I’ll have SO MUCH to figure out what to do with if I end up not liking it. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of those situations. I love caramel and I love pear, but this tisane doesn’t really taste of either! I do smell a bit of pear in the dry leaf, but for some reason they added cinnamon and ginger to the blend and those flavors are completely overwhelming everything else. It’s not a terrible tea, but it’s definitely not what I was hoping for.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Spices

Yeah, I like Market Spice’s Cranberry Creme and their Cinnamon Orange, and I think that is 2/2 of the Market Spice teas I have ever tried.

Haha, well that’s nice that both of them worked out for you! I LOVE their Gingerbread Rooibos (one of my all-time favorites!) and they half a dozen others that I’ve really enjoyed. But there have been a couple of real duds too..

Would you like a sample of the Gingerbread Rooibos? I have a bunch and would be happy to share so you can try it out without committing to the full 4oz. :)

Bio

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
