Name: Cinnamon Heart
Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Pu'erh
Dry Scent: This smells almost exactly like those cinnamon hearts that everyone gets around valentine's day. Warm, slightly dusty and very much of sweetness and cinnamon.
Steeping Time: 5-6 min
Steeped Flavour: I like this, actually. It's very warming from the cinnamon, but the pu'erh balances the hot brightness of the cinnamon with its rich earthiness. The whole thing is like drinking a warm blanket or a big hug, extremely comforting. There isn't so much cinnamon that it burns the tongue either, which is better than the candies ^_~
Food/Drink Pairings: This is an anytime, any-meal tea. It would go nicely with desserts but I can see it pairing just as well with a steak or pasta. It might overpower too bland a meal though, so red meats and tomato sauces, not so much fish or alfredo. It would also probably be lovely made into a sweetened tea latte, come to think of it.
