Sipdown (2381)!
This was a free sample from my Friday Afternoon order earlier in the year that I had, frankly, totally forgotten I had. I saw it while looking for another tea and I thought it was an even better option to incorporate into my tea selections today.
I brewed it very strong since I used the full (generous) sample for my mug. However, even with the intensity it was very enjoyable. Rooibos forward which does mean not for everyone, but it had a lovely mix of aromatic, silky vanilla notes and rich almond. Not as sweet as amaretto, but definitely sort of in that decadent and boozier direction. It gave me sugar cookie vibes a little bit but just with, well, almond. No getting around the prevalence of that taste, as much as I did enjoy it. Sort of like a more simplified take on DT’s Alpine Punch? Nothing super original – I’ve definitely tasted this type of composition elsewhere. Yummy, though!
