80

April 2020 subscription, but decided to cut open this tea today.

I needed a strong caffeine boost as I need to do lots of study. And I have slept badly. And I had a headache. Almost a migraine. But I hope it’s not that.

Worked well. Okay I took painkiller, but this tea was so caffeine strong! Yeah!!

And in taste? Well, it was mellow and creamy, with coffee notes and overall very enjoyable. Vanilla here as well, with bit juicy from currants and cranberries maybe? I noticed both of them there today. I wonder if they reblended it or I was just more lucky with ingredients in my DIY tea bag?

Flavors: Coffee, Cranberry, Creamy, Vanilla

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

I really want to try this one. I might place an order while it’s still available on the secret website…

Hope you’re feeling better!

Sounds delicious, Martin! Wouldn’t expect a ceylon black with added tidbits of dried nuts, berries, and coffee beans to actually taste pleasant. B&B must know their stuff.

Nattie: Kind of. I was tired all day though. I can recommend it if you like Tiramisu or similar cakes. And if it is on Secret website, it will be gone soon? Maybe I am bit sad of it, it is very interesting blend.

Eelong: It is indeed better than expected! Especially if you need strong caffiene boost as I needed. But I understand you tht you don’t believe that almonds, berries and coffee beans + tea can work. I wasn’t believing that myself too (when I saw it for first time)!

I actually don’t like tiramisu, but I have a tiramisu flavoured tea which I love! And I love affogato (: I actually finished the last of my Butiki Coffee and Ice Cream tea today and I need something to replace it.

It doesn’t always mean it will be gone soon, but this tea in particular has a little ‘last chance’ stamp on it.

If you want, I can save a bit from my sample pouch for you and we can swap. After you finish your cupboard of stale teas :)

I would love that, but you might be waiting a while! I have another 180 teas to get through :o

I have no problem waiting :). Okay, I will get 10 grams off for you. You may get the pouch, if you lose your “no-buy ban” :)
