An Ode to Tea challenge – G
From the sampler tower I bought a while ago! Still pouting that there was really only three teaspoons of each sample. Gone now! This is a DESSERT TEA whoa. It is so sugary! And since it’s new the stevia hasn’t gotten overly gross yet. New stevia is OKAY. Old stevia is just BAD. I recently had my first blondie brownie during the holiday season and is it just me (or that specific blondie?) but a blondie to me is like a big block of raw cookie dough and I’m all for that dessert. haha. This tea is much the same. Sweet sweet, the sweetest tea I’ve ever had that is less like gingerbread and more like cookie dough, maybe with a hint of lemon for some reason? I like it! I’m surprised at the low rating. But honestly, I can’t taste the ingredients here like all the fruit under all that sweetness. Not even the ginger! The star and gingerbread sprinkles are adorable. In future, one teaspoon is more than enough. I seem to like this more than most! Sad it’s gone, but not sad I didn’t have to taste old stevia. I would like to revisit those blondies again though…

I actually agree about stevia. I’m fine with it when it’s fresh, but I get a weird metallic/bitter aftertaste from old stevia. I even get that if I leave a cup with stevia in it out and go back to it later. When I drank it right away it tasted fine, later it tasted weird…
