Orange Spice

I love flavoured black teas. Vanilla, chocolate, caramel, fruits: yum. Anything that has "Holiday" or "Christmas" in its name, and I'm bound to like it! I knew I'd like this tea...

Description:

Generously scented black tea, with cinnamon, orange peel, vanilla bean, and a bit of clove.

Name: Orange Spice Imperial
Source: Upton Tea
Price: $5.80 for 4 oz.
Recommended steep time: 4 minutes
Comments: This is an absolutely delightful tea. Very heavy aroma of orange and clove in its dry form, but it's perfectly balanced once brewed. If you like spiced teas but think they're too sweet, this is for you. There's no sweetness, but no bitterness either. Not "spicy" at all, just that warmth of clove and spices that lingers after you've had the last sip. I'm so glad I bought the 125 gram packet instead of the sample size! I will definitely buy this again!
2nd Steep: Still great. Steeped for 8 minutes.
Rating: 5 cups
