Do the Bossa Nova

I know it's been a month since I last posted, but this tea is so good you'll want to dance while drinking it. I was in Tea Gschwendner Saturday while getting a couple of items for a silent auction tea basket when I spotted their Bossa Nova. I'd seen it online before but the store doesn't put it with their other oolongs so I'd always forgotten about it when in their Scottsdale location.

Creamy hazelnut and vanilla give warm rhythm to this customer favorite.

Ingredients:
Oolong tea from China
Hazelnut brittle*
Mullein blossoms
Flavor

*Contains nuts and lactose

One heaping teaspoon (3 g) per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 2 min.

It's a fascinating tea. What I smell and what I taste when I'm drinking it are two different things. It's a very rich, complicated tea. My mom actually thought it was "kind of weak" (!) but warmed to it as she sipped. We'll be getting this again soon.
