Thanks for a sample of this, Ost! Though I’m not usually a fan of Teavana, the name was too intriguing. I hadn’t actually had any macarons until last week, my grandma had some while traveling, so they might have been a bit stale but I was thrilled to finally try them anyway. I also just had to look up macarons and macaroons because I was confusing them. I got to try macaroons a couple years ago — my cousin made them. I really should make more cookies. I love cookies. Cookies go with tea.
Anyway, I used three teaspoons for one giant mug. I didn’t want to leave one teaspoon hanging and also thought 1 1/2 teaspoons wouldn’t be enough. It looked like a really good smattering of all the ingredients listed. Except for one tiny marshmallow. The flavor is actually pretty accurate to the name. It’s sweet with hints of marshmallow and fruit. A marshmallow macaron! There is a hint of something that might remind me of playdough but nothing too bad. Though there is coconut here and this is an older blend, I wasn’t tasting the oldness. I do like this blend and that is surprising with a Teavana blend, especially when the Steepster rating is already so low.
Steep #1 // 3 teaspoons // 10 minutes after boiling // 5 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 15 minute steep

Now I want cookies… not macarons or macaroons, but even plain old chocolate chip cookies would do. Mmmm.
All the cookies. All the time.
Now I’m reminded of the fact I’m down to my last box of Girl Scout Cookies… sigh.
oh no! Did you know that Keebler has cookie that is EXACTLY like the Samoas? I know it isn’t the same as supporting Girl Scouts but… they’re there all year round. :D
I probably didn’t need to know that, I just finished my last box of Samoas, hahaha! I only have my Trefoils left. I do like shortbread with black tea.
Had some Keebler samoas yesterday. So good.
haha :D
Oh and I think the official name of the Keebler’s is ‘Coconut Dreams’,Mastress Alita.
