Brought this tea with me to Utah while visiting family this past week or so. I was so gooped to see that I still had some of this squirreled away! I almost left this behind in my cupboard, but I am trying to break the habit of letting particularly precious teas hide away until the either go stale or I completely forget and move on. Like the saying, “If you love them let them go,” but more like, “If you love them, DRINK EM FRESH.”
This tea still had it’s intense sweet maple candy aroma and woodsy scent on the dry leaf, carrying over to the subsequent steeps. So intoxicating! I grampa’d and gongfu’d this whenever I got bored of WP’s Silver Snail. I was able to continually brew this tea for a whole day/6-7 steeps damn near every time. The scent of the candy cap mushrooms didn’t fade a bit over the years, and dominated the first 4 steeps each time. The cocoa and woodland notes of the black tea only made for an exciting combination. I’ll be sad when i finish this one, but so glad to have been able to enjoy it as much as I did.
Flavors: Candy, Cocoa, Maple, Mushrooms, Wet Wood

Oof. Whispering Pines kinda blowing my mind. This sounds amazing.
I know it’s a long shot, but I would be over the moon if this was ever remade. Brendan is a master at blending!
If the “want it” list is any indication, he’d have a virtual line out the door.
Grateful I got to try this one. So many blends of the past I missed out on.
