drank Cozy Comfort Tea by Simpson & Vail
3450 tasting notes

I received a generous package of tea from Michelle yesterday, and immediately picked one out for my chilly morning breakfast!

This has cinnamon, orange blossom, and black walnut flavor. I am not familiar enough with black walnut to know which part of the flavor comes from that and I do not find this particularly nutty. If asked what I was drinking without knowing, I would have sworn this was a black tea with cinnamon and just a hint of clove, but there is no clove listed. There is a briskness that could also come from orange peel but not from orange blossom. So I would have failed a test of my taste perceptions!

Nevertheless, it brought cozy comfort this morning! The black tea is a little drying so it goes great with breakfast but is a tad too drying for me as a stand alone cup.

Thank you, Michelle!

I think this one is nutty if you squint really hard, but is just a touch of cinnamon to make it interesting.

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
