I’m having cotton candy for breakfast. Or at least I’m trying to pretend that I am.
My package unexpectedly arrived yesterday and this went straight into my iced tea jug to cold steep overnight. I must say that the lovely black tea base is definitely an appealing Darjeeling. But honestly, dry, this little concoction smells more floral than candy-ish.
The smell of the steeped tea is very faint too. Basically like a sweetened Darjeeling. I’m already on to my second glass of this and so far, and just like its smell, it tastes like a vaguely sweet black tea. But just like how perfumes need a bit of aging and soaps need a bit of curing perhaps I should let this gel for a little while longer and try make another jug of this in a few days? I’m also curious as to how a cotton candy tea would taste hot.
For now I’m going to rate it based on these initial impressions but if/when I come back to this tea next week and reevaluate it, let’s hope the rating will go up!
plugs ears LA LA LA AVOIDING SPOILERS since mine won’t arrive for a while.
in that case i will post at the top of all my 12 days teas, DO NOT READ VALERIE! hah
HAHAHAHA it’s okay! a steepster very generously offered to send me her 12 days box to me but since the us/canada mail is so slow in december for me it will probably end up being the 12 days of january 2013! XD
Bahahahaha at peeking.
