This is much better than Della Terra’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. I was beginning to think that pastry-inspired tea was just not for me. I didn’t love this, but it did give me hope that these kind of teas might be ok.

The best thing about this tea is that you could still taste the base under the cinnamon. It was rich and dark. It was also really smooth. There was a note that tasted like raisins, but turned a little more to chocolate as it cooled. The cinnamon was nice, not fake tasting. There was something artificial that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It was kind of like that dreaded soy lethicin taste I hate, but not quite as strong. That’s the one thing that didn’t make this tea a win for me.

Lol! I was looking at their website today and thinking about placing an order! :-) Maybe after I receive my current Butiki order.

Sil

Janet has some kick ass customer service as well.

Good to hear! I’m trying to pace myself with buying teas. I don’t think I have the space for 200+ teas in my place. :-)

Sil

hey! i’m almost under 200…if none of my swaps come in, should be there before the weekend lol

Fuzzy_Peachkin

Woohoo! I say I’m going to pace myself because I know I could quite easily get up to that many teas myself. It really is addicting!

Terri HarpLady

Yeah, Fuzzy, you have room, because when you go off the deep end of tea ‘collecting’ somehow you keep making more room….& more room…

Terri HarpLady

Sil, my dear, there is no such thing as ‘almost under 200’, LOL
Either you’re over 200, at 200, or under 200. Ask Yoda, he’ll tell you. ; )

Fuzzy_Peachkin

:-) I’ve already made space where there wasn’t any. At least tea is less expensive than running shoes.

Sil

fuzzy…depends on how much tea you buy
terri – says you! i can see the finish line…right…there!

I run, I sing, I drink tea. That’s the best description I have of me.

I’ve always enjoyed tea, but have just started trying out a lot more loose teas and varied brands. I’m really excited about a site like steepster so I can read about what people think about different teas.

Oh and I really hate Lipton tea. There’s something just awful about it and I can’t understand why nearly every local diner only has Lipton.

Also I’m on the search for a full-bodied, fruity blackberry tea. So if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way! :-)
