The name of this tea kind of jumped out at me, and then when I read the ingredients and smelled the dry leaves I knew I had to purchase a sample pack. It is a perfect black fruity tea. There is an overtone of lemony flavor that is refreshing, but an undertone of maltiness from the black tea that makes it a deep-flavored tea as well. I know this is one tea that I will be going back to again and again!

-Dry blend has small black tea leaves with small yellow petals.
-Dry leaves smell like raspberry and lemon. Tea liquor aroma is of sweet lemon.
-Tea liquor is a clear reddish brown color.
-Malty lemon flavor with a sweet fruity raspberry finish. Slight creamy vanilla aftertaste.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Excellent tea. Refreshing flavor.

Mmmm, that sounds interesting. Plus I loved the book (& movie) by that name.

Me too, it was one of the reasons that the tea caught my attention. This tea does its name well!

Oh, that is one of my favorite books from childhood! When I re-read it to my daughter, though, I was kind of shocked by how toward the end [ spoiler alert coming up ] it becomes ALL about Colin. It made me want to go back in time, become an editor, and edit the heck out of the ending. “Let’s have a little more closure with the whole MAIN character,” I’d gently but firmly suggest, pouring the author a cup of tea: a cup of fruity, black tea!

It’s been a while since I’ve ready that book, but I too remember thinking that as well about the ending. Haha, you should’ve been an editor, Serenity, and then we would have a perfectly conclusive ending indeed! :)

It’s all: Master Colin, Master Colin! What about MARY????
