I won these teas in a contest that was run by Dan on Steepster that was great fun, and got me tea prizes! Dan will be running the contest monthly, so keep an eye out!
I find the labels on the tea samples to be perfect, they include the company name, tea name, tea type, and steeping directions.
I am playing a game with the samples, based on Rabs Geek Pride Day Giveaway, this was #4
It’s a very nice coffee flavored, caffeine free drink, I’m really enjoying this!
Post-Steep Additives: 1 packet white sugar
much more caramel than coffee now
An excellent dessert tea!
