Oof. I wish I’d gotten this as a sample and not a whole ounce.

I agree completely with AlphaKitty saying this smells like barf. It does. Barf, vague fruitiness, and maybe feet.

The flavor reminds me of Kahlua or Bailey’s, with a strawberry and butter aftertaste. The feet/barf smell is still present, but you don’t really taste it. There’s also a note of vanilla-like creaminess that I like. Still, I find this tea pretty off-putting. I mean, I guess it’s nice that it doesn’t taste like alcohol. But… yeah. I’m gonna use it up. Blended with other teas. And then never again.

EDIT: Ok, I opened the pouch this morning and just… no. It went in the trash.

Hahaha! The description of that tea aroma sounds exactly like a few of the returned library books I’ve run into at my library job… #librarianwoes

At least you managed to find a use for it? I tried to blend one I didn’t like this week and its nasty flavor was so strong that even with my strongest-flavored teas I could still taste it! I had to give it away on the Reddit CupOnMe.

What?? Why would books smell like that? D:

We tend to just not want to know the answer to that question, for our own sanity… Glad to see you trashed the offending tea! Some tea just has to go!

Quiet, strange, and in love with the world of tea. Living just outside of Atlanta. Cat lover, electronic music geek, balcony gardener, and collector of fossils. On the hunt for the perfect tea in each of my favorite categories.

After 10 years on Steepster, I have given up. The lack of maintenance, updates, and mobile compatibility have finally discouraged me. I still use my Cupboard and add teas to the database, but I won’t be logging teas anymore.
