Black tea gets a nutty, toasted edge here, blended with almond flavoring until the two are hard to pull apart. The tasting notes read almost like a dessert list: lemon, honey, nuttiness, roasted almond, even a faint coffee note, with a thick, lingering body. The aroma leans toward warm, toasted almonds before the first sip, and the black tea base keeps things from tipping into something too sweet.
Making a cup is straightforward: a teaspoon of the loose leaf per 250ml of freshly boiled water, steeped for three to five minutes; the longer end of that range pulls out more almond character, so it's worth experimenting for the strength you like. Honey or sugar rounds out the flavor, and a slice of lemon adds tang for a brighter cup. Strain before drinking if it wasn't brewed directly in a cup or pot.
Caffeine sits in a moderate range, roughly 45 to 70 milligrams per serving depending on steep time, which puts it below a typical cup of coffee — a reasonable pick for an afternoon cup or for easing off stronger caffeine sources without giving up a hot drink.
One note for allergy sufferers: this tea contains almonds, so it isn't suitable where nuts are a concern.
