This tea has got to be about 8 years old. I purchased it on an ill-fated trip to Montreal that ended with food poisoning and years of aversion to maple-flavored everything (I’m over that aversion now, thankfully). The tea’s still pretty tasty! I never drank it much because it’s one of those black teas that makes my stomach hurt, but it has a nice muscatel flavor to it. It’s rather drying but not unpleasantly so. I have never tried real ice wine so I don’t know if the tea tastes anything like its actual namesake. No rating because seriously, this tea is olllld.

Sipdown, finally.

Surprising that it still tastes good! And I’m glad to hear that you got over that aversion. Stuff like that can take forever for your brain to get over.

It was really bad for a while. I wouldn’t even put maple syrup on pancakes. Thankfully I got over it and now one of my favorite teas is Butiki’s Maple Pecan Oolong!
