Went through the entire tins of this and by the end I was kind of over it. I think that for true black tea drinkers this is a really nice variation from the classic OPs, Darjeelings, and Ceylons but for me the actual tea base of it got a little too astringent. The rose and vanilla blended beautifully, however, and even if it didn’t taste the best to my pallet it has an awesome aroma. Goes great with some basic short bread, though I advise a little bit of cream or milk as it has a fairly dry nose.

Flavors: Earth, Rose, Vanilla, Wood

Preparation
5 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

Bio

Used to be a big coffee drinker, but over time I realized coffee all kinda tastes the same to me so I switched teams.

I am a bit of a foodie. I love to cook at home and try new things. I especially love to find ways to incorporate tea into my cooking. I am a huge book nerd (it’s the only thing I have more of in my house than tea), and I also collect and read comics. I’m a really big scifi/fantasy/horror fan across the entertainment board (books, TV, movies, games, etc). My dream is to have my own tea and book store where I can hang around with other people who really just want to talk about tea and books, and maybe show me pictures of their cats. I also plan on one day owning a very fat french bulldog.

In the tea world: Greens, whites and rooibos are my current favorites. I can always enjoy a good herbal or oolong though. Blacks are kinda bleh to me, but a good yunnan or blend of one could get me interested. I am way more into straight teas then I am blended, though I own more blends than straight teas (go figure).

Currently employed by David’s Tea, so I personally think for a tea junkie I have a pretty ideal job. I’m always down for steeping something new. Suggestions and trade are more than welcome!
