Onyx-teekynttilä

Steeping this with a splash of warmed milk gets it surprisingly close to the espresso drink it's based on. The honey note is the part that really sells it for me, soft and round rather than sharp. I've been making a cup most afternoons since it arrived.

The cinnamon and vanilla come through first, then a honeyed finish that reminds me of a latte without any milk. I've been steeping a bag for about four minutes on chilly evenings and it's become my wind-down ritual.

Bought this hoping it would scratch the same itch as my usual honey-vanilla latte, and it mostly does. The single estate black tea base is smooth enough that I don't need milk, though I do add an extra drizzle of honey since the sweetness is pretty subtle.
