Went into the store for the last two days in a row to make sure I got to try all of the new Carnival Collection right away to ponder whether or not to buy before my 15% off all loose tea discount expires.
Preface: I’m obsessed with cotton candy. If it’s for sale (the fresh stuff…not the “bagged a few weeks ago in a factory” crap sold in grocery stores), I CANNOT walk past it without buying. Can. Not.
Now that that’s out of the way, we can all assume I had high expectations. If you’re going to call something “cotton candy tea”, it had better damn well taste like cotton candy. Or else…grr.
This was exactly cotton candy. To a friggin T. COTTON CANDY TEA, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!?! I don’t know how this one would be hot, in fact I imagine it would be weird. But you know what? Don’t care. I’m drinking it cold all day every day. And I’m drinking it even colder during the winter. BECAUSE I CAN.
Actually, I imagine if I had this all the time I would get sick of it. I think that’s the appeal of cotton candy…carnivals and fairs. Usually only in summer and early fall. But I’m buying this anyway. Buy all the tea!
Verdict: will definitely buy at least one tin before the collection is discontinued.
