I got SO MUCH TEA for the holidays, including a whole lot of samplers from different companies. So, off I go to start reviewing.
Today's tea is, unfortunately, a straight up disappointment. Cinnamon + vanilla sounds like a great idea, doesn't it? No so much in the execution. I brewed it per the package directions at 212° F for 3 minutes, using my lovely little tea timer hourglasses that were also a Christmas present (using a gift card from my sister). It was utterly unremarkable. I barely tasted cinnamon, much less anything resembling vanilla. It was bland.
Now, my first worry these days when I don't taste something is to go take a COVID test. But fortunately I had some very delicately flavored marzipan easily to hand, so I ate some of that to see if I could taste it and yep, tasted exactly like it is supposed to taste. Having confirmed that the problem isn't in my taste buds, I can only blame the tea.
It doesn't appear that this tea is generally available. Apparently it's only part of the sampler pack I was gifted. So it looks like y'all have dodged a bullet. However, should it become available, I can't recommend it.
