Almond Sugar Cookie

Since I had the ATR Brioche tea this morning I thought I’d try this one to see if it tasted similar because of the almonds. They look a lot alike, the S&V has more almond slivers though. The Almond Sugar Cookie is a nice tea, the almond taste is good but if I need to pick one almond tea I would take the Brioche because it seemed sweeter and I liked the cinnamon. The tea base was stronger and slightly more astringent in the Almond Sugar Cookie.

Forgot to add that I got this from swapping with moraiwe :) Many Thanks!

It smells nicely like almonds dry, I get more of cookie scent brewed.

The flavour is nice, and sweet. Almondy, without tasting like marzipan.

This was a very cloudy looking brew, more like coffee than tea. This has a very “thick” feel. Sweet and tasty. Can definitely taste the almond. This begs to be had after a Chinese meal. Reminds me so very much of the almond cookies – only better! Second steep was not as flavorful, though I may have, as is my tendency, brewed pretty strong on the first steep.

Almost as sweet as an almond cookie even without sweetner, I can only imagine the decadence of this cup with sugar or honey (I take neither with my tea usually, so dessert teas need to do a lot to impress me). Simpson & Vail make some of the best dessert teas around, and though the background tea isn’t the best, the foreground of flavors makes up for it.

Still a good dessert tea but I have many from this company and don’t think still that this will be a keeper. Made a two cup pot tonight and sipped while watching True Crime and munching on a yummy fish dinner. It’s sweet and doesn’t need sugar if you prefer without – which I don’t – the almond is there but not cloying

Almond Sugar Cookie reminds me so much of Harney & Sons’ Vanilla Comoro. I love that tea. So needless to say, I am really enjoying this one as well. I don’t necessarily smell almond, but the aroma is very nutty. The cookie comes through more in the taste. It doesn’t top Vanilla Comoro for me, but I think they are different enough that I could see having them both on hand.

Sipdown!
This one is almondy but not in a marzipan or amaretto way, it’s very subtle. There is a sweet vanilla note too, for the rest of the cookie vibe. I had fun sipping this down, but I prefer Upton almond tea if it’s ever back in stock.

I don’t remember rating this one but the score is spot on. As a latte or iced latte… 85 plain hot or iced, 75. It’s kinda cookie-like but very pure almondy not like almond Rocca or anything. Like the earthy kind lol.

You know what this reminds me of? Butiki’s Lemon French Macaron without the lemon. And with black tea. Wild.

The flavoring for this is spot on for an almond sugar cookie, a crispy one with lightly toasted almonds. The flavoring is beautiful and it lasts through the second cup. The base tea is weak and woody with no depth. This makes me sad because the flavoring is very well done. I brewed 1.5 tsp in what I think is an 8oz mug. Maybe this needs 6oz to really shine.

Recommended because… because the name is a dead ringer for me.

This is all sugar cookie. That’s it. There are no other words needed. It’s the perfect balance of hints of almond with a sugar cookie sweetness that somehow isn’t sweet at all. Magic.

Thank you Cameron! ❤
