I received my Tippy’s Tea order today and this was the sample they sent along. Although I was anxious to brew a pot of Minted Monkey, I decided to make a cup of this to see how I liked it. I LOVE it! This tea is very, very smooth, almost sweet, with a hint something that I’ll call creamy. Without any flavoring, this is almost like a dessert tea. With my anosmia, I can’t differentiate between flavors, so others might rave about the maltiness, or the cocoa undertones, but i’ll just say “Yum!”

YAY! It arrived safely. We are glad you enjoyed the golden monkey. We really pondered over what sample to send you. We were going to send you a sample of a black blend we are working on then, but you dislike bitter, even slightly bitter. So we instead opted to send you this tea. I once brewed this particular tea for 10 minutes and it only imparted a very slight bitterness. Very hard to mess up!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review what I like and dislike, and choosing such a great sample for me. The second packet of Minted Monkey is a birthday gift for a friend who likes tea almost as much as I do. Hopefully, you’ll have another convert to your tea soon!
