Have you ever had a wonderful dinner at a Chinese restaurant and when it came time for dessert the restaurant only had green tea and you really craved a black tea? Or, you were too full for dessert (OK, admittedly that almost never happens) and instead just wanted a lightly flavored dessert tea rather than a heavy high calorie dessert? If so, then this is the tea for you.
Inspired by Chinese almond cookies, we've paired an medium bodied black tea with almonds and a touch of cinnamon. Almond Cookie black tea has a balanced profile blended so that the almond flavor doesn't overpower the tea. This tea is a perfect afternoon treat or as an after dinner dessert tea. Enjoy this tea along with one of the best recipes we've come across for baking your own Chinese Almond Cookies.
Heat water (filtered if possible) to boiling 212˚F, let it cool slightly to around 190˚F and add one full teaspoon loose leaf tea per cup (apprx. 8 ounces). Infuse the loose tea for 3–5 minutes depending on taste preference.
INGREDIENTS: Organically grown black tea, organic almonds, organic cinnamon, organic safflower petals, and natural almond flavoring, blended in USA.
