2024 Holiday tea #1
Why NOT do some notes for whatever holiday teas I happen to have around at the moment? There won’t be as many as usual… It turns out I never wrote a note for this one..it was from the Here’s Hoping teabox eight or nine years ago. Yes, it still has the “don’t sniff too deeply” note that Inkling mentions in their note. haha! I think I originally thought it was too strong, but it has certainly mellowed with age. Leaving a lovely balance of spice and fruit flavor on a medium strength black tea base. Oh and there are sugar bits in the blend too.. and rose petals that seem to bridge these flavors well. It is certainly an acceptable blend at this point in time. The time for the note on this tea was now, I guess!

This tea actually had a note on it saying “Do not sniff too deeply upon opening”. Challenge accepted! But despite the dire warning, I didn’t find the aroma or flavor overwhelmingly strong. Basically, this is a glittery black chai with a hint of plum.
Flavors: Spices
I’m not really sure of whether this is a tea of the Perennial Tea room or one of their teas that they buy in bulk from other companies. Either way it’s an interesting tea. Might be good with some wine added. It says 3 minutes for steeping but I had forgotten I was steeping it (my daughter was not wanting to eat breakfast) so I ended up steeping it for about 10 minutes. Surprisingly, it has no bitterness. In fact I think it’s quite good. The spices definitely have a bit more kick then they probably would of at 3 minutes. Actually, the more I drink it the more it reminds me of a chai.
