A spiced and fruity black tea blend comes once a year for Easter which usually, this time of year is just for bunnies and believers I know there’s some theology, but let’s not be too serious It’s just a bit of fun you see; the view is very clear to us!

Steepster TTB 2025
There’s some cinnamon, some [dried] fruitiness, and a bit of tang, but also an aggressive hibiscus sourness that mars the whole thing. Not sure I’d identify hot cross buns as the inspiration here!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Fruity, Hibiscus, Raisins, Sour, Tangy
2025 TTB #15
The name sounded like a yummy dessert tea, but what I actually got was a chai-reminiscent blend of cinnamon and ginger with a weirdly tart aftertaste from the rosehip and hibiscus. This is easily my least favorite tea of the box so far.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Ginger, Hibiscus, Rosehips, Spices, Tart
This smells really interesting in the bag, but the flavor isn’t translating how I’d hoped. There is something a little savory and broth like in this for a second and it’s a little tart at the end from the modest level of hibiscus. I’d like to lower the steeping temp and maybe time in hopes to get a different cup from this tea. It isn’t bad, I just haven’t figured it out. I have no idea what hot cross buns taste like. I’ve only once recently come across a place that sells them, but they were sold out by the time I got there. It would be fun to do a side by side comparison of this tea and it’s namesake bun!
I hope I figure the tea out too! What do they taste like? The place that was sold out was a bakery that was a little on the fancy side, so I’d hope they’d be somewhat true to the pastry. Are they a seasonal before Easter thing? I have some googling to do!
The ones I’ve had are something like a very slightly sweet yeast bread with a little powdered sugar glaze on top; sometimes raisins in the dough, sometimes candied fruit.
