Roasty Chai Tea / Herbal Coffee
An audacious brew with distinct notes of roasted malt brought on by charred myrtle nuts. The earthy artist’s conk, sweet fireweed, and spicy cinnamon lends a warm chai-like flavor. A forager’s delight. A fine grind similar to coarse coffee and hot chocolate.
Ingredients: a finer grind of oxidized fireweed, roasted myrtle nuts, artist conk mushroom, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, peppercorn, vanilla bean
How to Brew: Brew longer than most teas. Using a french press, steep 1 tablespoon per cup at 210° for 10-15 minutes. You may also simmer for 10 mins for a more concentrated chai masala-like brew.
Tasting Notes: Nutty, toasty, spicy, warming, zesty, cinnamon, tannic
Tea Attributes: Playfulness, creativity, stimulation, foraging, ingenuity, adaptiveness, intelligence, wildness
Pairings: cream and honey, cookies, chocolate, pecans, cake, French pastry, whiskey, brandy, a toasty fire with family

Homemade Advent Calendar from AJRimmer: Day 4
I was excited to open this one today — it’s super unique, with many ingredients I’ve never consumed (myrtle nuts! fireweed!). I love the brand’s ethos and approach, not to mention their gorgeous packaging and artwork.
Dry, this one smells all sorts of funky. Brewed up, there’s a ton more depth to both the aroma and the flavor, but I’m not sure I have the words to describe it! There’s a bit of earthy ’shroominess, and something slightly sweet, then a lil bit of cinnamon-y warmth, then something that almost reminds me of Cheerios — a sort of lightly toasted graininess. I love that the chai spices are mild, more accentuating the base than punching you in the face.
It feels like there’s a lot going on here, but in a very intentional and balanced way. Really enjoying this!
Flavors: Cinnamon, Earthy, Grain, Mushrooms, Toasted
The leaf of this is really powdery since it’s supposed to be an herbal coffee. The scent was super bitter, and I thought I wouldn’t like it, but the spice combination turns this into a decent chai! There’s a good bit of roastiness and some relatively mild spices. It’s earthy and interesting with some sugar and almond milk. I appreciate the unique variety of foraged ingredients here. It makes it feel extra fresh!
Ooh I didn’t know anyone else had ordered from them besides me!
I might have to place my own order… after the holidays! :D
I actually haven’t tried this one, but I need to! Let me know if you’d like to sample before you buy, I have several of their teas he he. :)
Ooh, thank you! I may take you up on that!
