Hello communiTEA drinkers,
Today's blend is Storyteller!
Built on a base of toasted mate, this blend has a mellow, masculine flavor with notes of chicory and tobacco. A hint of vanilla and the aroma of ripe blood oranges create a warm, inviting cup. A subtle touch of cinnamon and ginger add a bit of cozy spice to this tale.
Would love to hear your thoughts!

Reading the description of this tea promises so much, but ... it doesn’t really deliver. I get the blood orange notes, and the bite of ginger, the tea part is there, but that's it. I originally brewed at 190* for 4 minutes. 2nd steep at 180* while I finished the first cup. I don’t get any bitterness and I can drink this with no sweetener, which is a plus for me. Overall, this is a decent cup of tea but I probably wouldn’t purchase more.

I enjoyed this tea, first to the smell of orange and some spices and to the pleasant taste . I brewed it at 160 for 3-5 minutes . I never add milk or sweetener to my tea and found it perfect as us

I liked this tea until it cooled down. Initially, I noted the vanilla on the nose but also cinnamon.
I really enjoyed the flavor in the beginning but I also noted the tea to be somewhat sour as it cooled down.
I also had the thought it would be a good transitional tea for someone wanting to transition from caffeine to herbal teas.

I'm a bit confused, because the packet said to steep at 150°F for 2 minutes, but the website says 190°F for 4 minutes. That's a pretty big discrepancy. I tried to follow the packet instructions (best I could do was 160°F for 2 minutes), because I didn't check the website until after I finished brewing it. But maybe that's why it came out so weak? Please be more careful with packet instructions in the future!

Hello there, thank you for the feedback! I'll try to get the bottom of where the instructions are getting printed incorrectly for the future!YresimDemus wrote: I'm a bit confused, because the packet said to steep at 150°F for 2 minutes, but the website says 190°F for 4 minutes.
