Katie’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "This is a well mixed blend and an excellent dessert tea."
|
This was sent to me as a 52 Teas tea, but it is also available on Zoomdweebies.com, so even though it is no longer available as a tea of the week, you can still get your hands on it. Two months ago, I ordered a tea from 52 Teas, and when I mentioned I'm a Teaviewer, Frank sent along a few samples for me to try with the reassurance that I didn't have to review them if I wasn't inspired to. Since I waited obscenely long to try them, I figured I should at least start with one you can still actually buy.The base tea looks Assam-y, and after conferring with Frank, I now know the basic base tea to his black blends in a lovingly-crafted "proprietary blend of Nilgiri and Assam teas." It is an excellent base blend - smooth and quality, adding to the tea overall. The flavouring is well done, but while I get the coconut and cream flavours, I have a hard time tasting all-out pie. The aftertaste is unparalleled in its fantastic coconuty sweeteness. I don't relish the idea of adding sugar to my tea, but a dash of honey really brings out the flavours.
If I had more leaf, I'd be tempted to experiment with chilling this blend, since I imagine it would result in an interesting and refreshing cold cup. This is a well mixed blend and an excellent dessert tea, an aspect really brought to life by added sweetener. Once again, Frank at 52 Teas/Zoomdweebies has proven that he really knows his flavours.
