I got this tea from Germany and again from postcrossing. I had a great laugh with this postcard (see it here: https://www.postcrossing.com/postcards/DE-9809087, it’s Glenfinnan viaduct in the UK). It was delivered without much delay, very cute envelope and tea bag was in. But what’s this. It looks like some tape… and there is a piece of paper?

It was opened by German customs, including the tea bag, and they wrote me they didn’t found anything that was due to customs! So, I have a customs opened tea bag in my collection! German customs wrote the apology in my native language and explained it well.

Back to the tea: I don’t remember trying this tea four years ago; though it’s possible I had it. The taste after, rather short, steep was very nice. I haven’t noticed much of the base, as usual from Nordqvist flavoured teas… but the chocolate and truffle flavours are well done. I hate to say it, but much better pronounced than in the Plum Deluxe cup of tea.

It’s quite rich in chocolate and I actually really liked it, way more than I would expect from simple Tove Jansson Moomin tea bag. It’s though, a bit simple chocolate flavoured; nothing more here. If truffle? Yep maybe… but still, somehow missing the depth of flavours. But it’s just a tea bag. For some, it could be maybe too artificial though!

Flavors: Chocolate, Sweet

Customs had to OPEN THE TEABAG WRAPPER?!?!

Is it just a coincidence customs broke into the tea that I keep reading as “Mailman” Ihmeet?

tea-sipper

OH good catch. haha

tea-sipper: What if there were drugs inside? You never know! No, just kidding. I have no idea why it was considered as needed to check out. Maybe because it was indeed only one 2 gram tea bag wrapper and they indeed thought it’s something else than just a tea?
Mastress Alita: Well, I completely missed that out :) Good catch indeed, haha. By the way, pronunciation is: [mailma:n ihme:t].

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
