“ This year's communiTEA sample was fantastic. A really rich, smooth base tea with no bitterness. The chocolate and hazelnut were added at just the right level for a fantastic cup.

1.20.22 Rich, strong tea. Very nice hazelnut flavor with the soothing addition of vanilla and a little chocolate. It's a little too astringent for me and is slightly bitter too. ”

“ Lucky Aquarius! You have such a tasty tea to help celebrate your birthday! A blend with a nice hazelnut flavor boosted by cocoa nibs and smoothed by vanilla. The mixed tea base of black and oolong teas pair well with this much beloved nutty flavor. The little blue cornflowers are a colorful reminder of Aqarius’ symbol, the water-bearer, with blue wavy lines.

My Ct packet had a generous 5 g/ 3 tsp of mixed black tea, oolong, flavorings, cocoa nibs and a scattering of cornflowers. I brewed 18 oz. at 205*F for 3 min. The medium brown liquor had a pleasant nutty scent and the first hot sip was hazelnut forward. A sweetner add elevated all flavors and made the tea very delicious! As the tea cooled, a warm vanilla taste blossomed more and joined the hazelnut one to finish the sip. A resteep of 8 oz.tasted milder but was enjoyable too. Chilled, the tea had a nice blended hazelnut/vanilla flavor and made a wonderful iced tea. So glad to celebrate with you my Aquarian tea friends! Happy Birthday!
