 Welcome back to the tea of the day today I've got a brand new one from a new company called totem tea, and it's called Christmas pudding black tea whoo it has a Somme black tea cocoa peels cocoa nibs Cinnamon sticks apple natural flavoring Marigold and bourbon flavor What is this natural flavoring? Why is it not same or distinctly? Hmm. I usually like everything to be clear. That's it's pretty important to me But otherwise, I really like the idea of this company because they say everything's Viodegradable as far as the packaging and everything is ethically sourced. So I'm gonna assume this natural flavoring is good natural stuff But I generally when I hear the word flavoring, I want to know what the flavoring is for a future reference name your flavoring Enough talk about brew haha of flavoring. Let's uh get into the tea. Wow. All right Put it down Put it down put it down Mm-hmm All right, so here's what's happening I like this I need to do it again and brew it longer because I think it needs to be a little bit stronger for me I actually put milk in this because traditionally with black teas I almost always use milk So I just went ahead and did it Which is probably a mistake because I'm you usually want to first brew you in a tea I usually like to do it straight and tell you exactly what I'm tasting in the flavoring. So Monk on me Buh-bye On the top though, what I'm really getting the most is the apple. Um, it's quite prominent actually and uh I think it's actually being backed up by the marigold And the cacao is is really kind of disappearing as much as anything and that's for the reason I want it to be a little bit stronger because I want to taste the black tea and the cacao and a little bit more Um, I think the vanilla is coming through a little bit. Um, overall, I think this is a pretty good blend. Um I personally would I'm not a big fan of the apple being the prominent flavor But uh, some people will definitely love that. I mean, it's not like Bam in your face apple apple, you know, nothing like that. So, uh Uh, don't think that I'm saying that it's like super apple. It's just uh When I taste it I definitely go boom that is definitely an apple taste right off the top But it's depth accented by everything else. Well, so, uh, overall Um, I need another shot at this. It's a good tea But I just want to try it again slightly differently Um to get a different take and see if I just mess this up by the way I blended it this time Yeah Well, I'll have to come back with a round two until then y'all have a fantastic tea day
