“This is a very yummy tea. It goes down smoothly and is pleasant tasting. I used agave and steeped for 3 minutes- 2.5 tsp in 16oz of hot water. It’s sweet and nutty!” Read full tasting note
This blend was formerly named Nutcracker Sweet and was a seasonal part of our tea lineup. Due to its popularity we decided to make it available year-round! This amber oolong is blended with walnuts, almonds and maple brittle pieces. It’s like a sweet and nutty Kringle in your cup! Enjoy!
Ingredients: Amber oolong tea, blended with walnuts, brittle pieces and almond pieces. This blend may contains nuts and trace amounts of sugar.

Sweet maple accents? Check
While I’m not blown away by this, I do quite enjoy it and wouldn’t mind having it around from about September – March every year (which is good, because that’s coincidentally when it’s offered). It’s a classic combination of flavors and has a nice comforting quality to it.
I can’t wait to latte this. Do I want to wait until morning, though?I’m thankful moraiwe not only reminded me of this tea last night, but also told me how nice it would be as a latte.
This morning, first thing, I pulled out the soy milk, watered it down slightly, added exactly one drop of honey, simmered, and tossed a tsp of tea in. Thank you, thank you, for this suggestion ladyfriend because it smelled absolutely gorgeous the entirety of its steeping time.
The result was like breakfast in a cup. Bready and yeasty and walnutty with hints of pecan. The last sip was pure yeast and pecan with a hint of walnut.
A great tea to be sure, but heavy…not something I could drink all the time.
I’m mentally categorizing this one as another morning cuppa.
Flavors: Bread, Nuts
Fava is my local independent tea shop and I’m on a quest to try all of their tea…which is going to take a while, because they have a lot! So far, it’s been hit and miss: they have several blends that I adore (Cloud 9 and Roasted Almond Chai), others that I really don’t care for (such as Raspberry Rose and Two to Mango) and quite a few that I’m just ambivalent about. This one falls in the ambivalent category. I’m getting bread and nuts, but none of the sweet maple flavor I was hoping for. It’s okay, but not something I’m likely to purchase.

You could have it tonight and tomorrow morning. :)
Lol. I was just about to say that!
Problem solved! :D
