Ok so I haven’t posted in a week, partly because I’m really burned out work-wise and partly because the way I’ve started coping with that is I’ve started restoring my old Polly Pockets from childhood. Turns out I missed a pandemic trend of collecting and restoring classic Polly Pockets, so now I’m catching up and glad that there are folks who have made videos to help me figure this out! There’s something oddly satisfying about taking something small and old and loved and fixing it up, plus it really rewards the detail-oriented way my brain works anyway.
This tea brought me back to Steepster though, because I picked it up in my big recent order and cracked it open today. It’s so delightful! Which, admittedly I’m an easy mark. Rose, cinnamon, and vanilla are three of my favorite flavors. In this case, the rose and cinnamon definitely dominate. Both are strong, in a way that I really enjoy. There’s also a great sweet note and even a cookie-ness to it as a hot latte. I had forgotten about the vanilla again until I sat down to write this, but my guess is that the vanilla flavor folds into the cookie flavor/effect. While I was able to get a second steep, it wasn’t as good as the first. I think I’d probably rather just do a strong single steep. Overall super glad I got this. Would not recommend for anyone who hates rose or cinnamon!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cookie, Rose
