Tea of the Week for November 11, 2019!
One of my suppliers had some gorgeous Yunnan province grown tea leaves that when steeped, had a remarkable sweet potato-y flavor. I just loved this tea so I needed to get some of it. I wasn’t sure what I would use it for when I received it a few weeks ago, but then I decided that the best way to utilize this tea is to allow it to showcase the delicious flavor of sweet potato!
This blend starts with a base of those beautiful black tea leaves blended with big chunks of sweet potato & just a hint of warm cinnamon essence (no cinnamon pieces here, just a hint of essence to accent the sweet potato). That’s it. Just sweet potato, a subtle undertone of cinnamon & some of the most delicious black tea leaves you’ll ever taste.
Put simply, this tea is remarkably good. Very, very good. It’s also VEGAN, gluten-free & allergen-free. Oh & it’s very limited in quantity & because of the special quality of this tea, I won’t be reblending it any time soon – so I recommend grabbing a pouch while they’re still available!
ingredients: black tea, organic freeze-dried sweet potato & organic natural flavors
