Another tea from Amy oh! :3 This one smells ever so slightly like Teavana’s Spice of Life. I don’t know if I’m the only person, but I think that some of Kusmi’s teas sound eerily akin to each other. Either way, this one sounded interesting! I noticed that also similar to Spice of Life, someone has commented about it smelling like coca cola. I get a small hint of that.
The dry leaf has a very distinct vanilla smell; where as the liquor reminds me of the Kusmi cinnamon.
This is pretty tasty! I do have to admit that mine ended up tasting very much like the cinnamon tea. There are some elements of light citrus in there, but not as heavily as the aforementioned Spice of Life. This does have a hit of lemon at the front of the sip that is quite nice. I really actually like lemon flavored blacks for some strange reason. I’m going to have to try steeping this at a slightly lower temperature next time because I lost out on a lot of the vanilla that is in the dry leaf smell. I really wanted some more of that to come through.
Overall I find this to be a comforting and wakeful cup.
P.s. am I the only person who automatically thinks “Putin” after hearing Vladimir???

Honestly I think a lot of Kusmi teas taste very similar to each other. My boyfriend loves this one for some reason…

I was taking a look at their catalog today and a lot of the descriptions are similar. I’m really surprised that they don’t do oolong/whites at all. I wonder why?

I don’t know…. it does seem a bit odd

Actually I think of that Boney M song and Rasputin for some reason :P

Tamm, I get also a hint of coca cola taste at the beginning of the first few sips of this tea.
