I stumbled upon the Steeped Tea website and immediately contacted a consultant in my area. My consultant, Tracy, was quick to drop a catalog and brochures in the mail, and with those, she included TEA SAMPLES! Yay!
The Toasted Almond black tea was the first sample I tried. All of the samples Tracy sent were loose leaf (a few varieties that Steeped Tea sells are available in pre-packed triangle bags), but she also sent a fillable bag with each sample. I decided to go ahead and use the bag, as my single-cup ball is missing at the moment.
I brewed the black tea hot in 212 degree water with 1 teaspoon of rock sugar. I took my first couple of sips like that, and was impressed by the nuttiness of the tea. The almond flavor was neither too subtle nor too overpowering. It was like adding a drizzle of amaretto to a basic black tea without the alcohol taste. I added some vanilla almond milk to finish my cup, and the addition of the vanilla almond milk just further enhanced the almond flavor. I really savored this cup of tea! Divine! I honestly didn't think I would like this tea that much, but I was thoroughly impressed.
