Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge, March 2022: A tea from a woman-owned company – February 2022 Reblend
Mmm, this simple but decadent blend is a lot better than I remember. It was also a hit with the rest of the family, hence why it didn’t last more than a few days here (believe me, I tried to stretch it out). The Assam base is malty, muscatel, and smooth; It’s not particularly brisk and doesn’t need milk. The base’s signature notes give the vanilla a rich, honey-like hue (yay, dark, syrupy fruit). The marshmallow root adds a interesting woody component, but it isn’t overly intrusive here. The tea falls comfortably into candy/dessert territory without being cloyingly sweet or hiding the base tea, which is exactly what I want and love.
Steep Count: 2
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Honey, Malt, Marshmallow, Muscatel, Powdered Sugar, Raisins, Smooth, Vanilla, Woody

Wow! Your pouch is gone already? Impressive!
It was very much a team effort! :)
Housemates kept requesting this tea after smelling another person’s cup, and there was a chain reaction. The last serving ended up in a “musical tea strainer” lottery which I didn’t win.
Well, I’m glad that everyone enjoyed it, anyway!
