Are you totally nutty? A bit bonkers? Crazy crackers? Some marzipan short of a Christmas cake? Speaking of marzipan, do you love the creamy almond taste? If so, or if you are just totally nutty, this decadent almond & cinnamon tea is right up your street (Strange St., Wackyville, right?).

Hmmmm interesting. Ceylon , Japanese green blend with almond and cinnamon. This is not what I was expecting.
I’m getting apple – apple crumble maybe – apple nutty cinnamon pastry of some sort – almost a little creamy too. They could call this apple pie and ice cream – and I would buy that. Most times I don’t like the names of tea, and I can’t believe I’m suggesting something like that.
Anyway – I like it, it’s really nice. Not sure why I’m getting SO MUCH APPLE in a tea that’s not suppose to have any in it. Call me crazy – it’s ok. Subtle cinnamon, more just a hint in the back ground. I have had a couple of cup of this tonight, and will be happy to continue to work through my package of it.
Well.
A quiet weekend of not really trying any new teas, as Gentleman was visiting from Oxford, so my priorities were slightly less remembering all the tasting notes of new teas and more going shopping for new memory foam pillows and going to the best chippy in the city centre.
Now I’m having sniffly feelings because he’s going to Japan for a month. I wonder if I can convince him to bring back tea for me? HELLO, THERE’S AN IDEA!
But I digress. Back to the usual hamster wheel of useless cover letters for admin jobs I don’t actually want anyway, so I’m waking up to a nice cuppa. This was another one from my box of Bluebird tea roulette, and OH, IT IS GLORIOUS. I’m greeted by a beautiful rainbow of brown leaves and spice, and a soft fragrance of almond and cinnamon.
And it is so good. The dominant flavour is cozy, marzipanny almond, flanked by the tiniest whisper of cinnamon. Stick with it a moment longer, and the slightly roasty notes from the teas cut through the sweetness of the almond. This is one that plays well with milk, but is just as good naked. It’s making me feel a little better about the world.
