The aroma upon opening a new bag is raw- strong, odd in an unpleasant way, overpowering. Musty.

I let my mug steep- Hmmm, okay. If I stick my nose close it smells promising.

My first sip is of a tea too mild, the aroma just hit all the wrong notes with me.

And it had an unpleasant, lingering aftertaste.

Adding milk made it even more mild, I was hoping to taste sweet caramel.

Sadly, I am quite disappointed.

This does not mean it is a bad tea, it just not not my taste. Gina and Aaron create incredible, unique blends and this one certainly has a strong following.

It just was not appealing to me.

A year ago I tried the Psychocandy sample and fell in love with the crisp taste of fall. As winter in Colorado rolled around I was still craving that pumpkin, spicy, full bodied Psychocandy flavor in the hot version. When spring (finally) rolled around the caramel was comforting. Now that summer’s in full swing I just add ice and it’s still the perfect drink. No caffeine, add raw sugar if I need the lift, naked if I don’t. Hot or cold, in any weather it goes down easy.

Not bad, but not what I'm looking for.

I don't have a sweet tooth, and this is more than I was hoping for.

I was looking for something apple-y.

Very good if you like your tea to feel like a treat.

Smoothie and sweet… a perfect evening tea!

Loving it!!!
