drank Apple Empanada by Old Barrel Tea Co
2891 tasting notes

Thanks to AJRimmer, I’m having a little caffeine-free break from chores. Her original tasting note for Apple Empanda captures every mental note I was making to set down here. The apple and cinnamon mesh nicely with honeybush, the honeybush adds a nice little caramelly note, but I kept hunting and hunting for the crust. Not being a blender, I don’t know how difficult it is to replicate pastry, but teas that do so accurately are hard to find.

That said, this was still really pleasant, better with a snoodge of lemon pie and a piece of marzipan … we did a Branson holiday run yesterday and went just a tad overboard at Kilwin’s confectioners. (More shopping overkill confessions to follow.)
