This is the first real tea I had. Before that I was not too much into tea but after drinking this I new I found something great and became an avid tea drinker. If people say they don’t like tea or are unsure; I give them a cup of this. It has never failed. It impresses everyone. Strong great flavor, hot or cold. You can not go wrong with this tea.
I like the aroma a lot. The almond mixes interestingly well with the sweet vanilla smell…but at the end I can’t help but feel disappointed. There’s a little flavor from each of the elements in there; a little black tea, a little vanilla, a little almond – but nothing powerful enough to make a compelling mouthful. It just comes off as a little on the bland side. Maybe more tea, 2 bags instead of one? Maybe a longer steep time? I’m not sure, I’ll have to keep working with this one.
Why is it that the teas with the greatest scents always seem to disappoint? The last couple of teas I’ve tried have had great aroma but the tea itself was bland and unimpressive…
Did you try steeeping longer or tried two bags or asmaller mug? Just curious if it made a difference.
