I’m glad I had purchased the Fall Collection tea set rather than buy this tea individually (as I would’ve bought a large amount). I don’t know what I was expecting from this tea before I brewed a cup, but the first cup wasn’t so great. It was a bit bitter and didn’t smell at all marshmallowy. Could be because I didn’t time how long the tea steeped for and was probably in the water longer than it should have been.
I’m now brewing a proper cup of this tea, and it smells toasty. I’m waiting for the tea is cool slightly so I can take a sip without burning my mouth…ok. Just took a few sips and have to say that this cup is definitely much, much, MUCH better than the first! Definitely a tea that can’t steep for too long! I can’t taste anything marshmallowy, the allspice really shines through. But it’s still a tasty tea!
