I enjoyed this one! I don’t really taste the vanilla or marshmallow as distinct flavors, but I can tell they are there in how they soften the sharpness of the black. It gives it a certain richness that the Assam doesn’t have on its own, without making it sweet. This was my tea this afternoon for board game time with the family. I’m happy to report I didn’t kill anyone, lol. Family time, both wonderful and not!
Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!
I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.
PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
