A Night in the Glittering Caves, from Happy Tea Turtle: https://happyturtletea.com/shop/loose-leaf-tea/black-tea/night-in-the-glittering-caves/
Had the bright idea to take a picture of this tea BEFORE putting it in my teapot. What a concept.
This occurred to me because even before taking a sip, this tea is already notable for two reasons.
1. It has edible glitter and it sparkled as it brewed. Unfortunately, all the glitter ended up caught in the leaves and mesh of the strainer, so there's none in my teapot.
2. It smells like playdough.
This tea is meant to be inspired by Lord of the Rings, a series I have never been interested in. It's a sweet bourbon and pecan flavored tea. The smell as it was brewing is unfortunate.
I'd hoped it wouldn't translate to the flavor, but the primary taste of it is still playdough-y. That said, it actually mellows out into something very pleasant.
But maybe I just didn't rinse my supplies well enough after my last pot of tea.
It's not so bad that I won't finish the pot, but I am wondering what I'll do with the remaining two or so servings of leaves I still have...
Rooibos CocoMint Tea, an herbal tea from Adagio.
This tea is desserty without being too heavy. It's nearly identical to Teavana's seasonal White Chocolate Peppermint tea. But not only is this one available year-round, it still exists!
Womp.
I actually like this one better than the white chocolate peppermint, because this one uses regular chocolate and not white chocolate. The taste is a bit less buttery, which is a shame, but it's also less cloyingly sweet.
Brewed at 212 f this five minutes, with a little rock sugar.
You can find it here: https://www.adagio.com/rooibos/rooibos_cocomint.html

Tea of the Moment
Green Apple and Honey tea, green tea blend from Dollar Tea Club.
Light, sweet, and fruity, with a slight nutty undertone from the green tea. Not overly grassy or vegetal.
Brewed hot at 175 F, for 2 minutes, with a couple pieces of beetroot rock sugar.
Unfortunately, I just checked and it seems Dollar Tea Club is shutting down, and this tea isn't available anymore. Whether this is temporary or not remains to be seen.
