This tea captured the flavor of the Greek walnut baklava my neighbor used to make. The cloves and aroma really nailed it for me, despite what others have said. Love it!

Does it actually taste like baklava? Not really, but it does taste good. If you want to get a bit closer, have it with honey!

I am usually a green, white, or rooibos drinker, but occasionally get a hankering from something more dense. This is a delicious, warming tea with a instant, up-front cinnamon or maybe all-spice flavor, that blends down quickly with rich, long-lasting, nutty and caramel or brown sugar aftertaste. Reminds me sleigh bells or snow fall -- all things Christmas-y. The aroma is decadent, with the caramel coming through more in the nose than tastebuds. Reminds me a lot of SV's Caramel Walnut Shortbread tea, both of which are winners.

I've only had baklava once or twice in my life, and it really doesn't remind me of it, but that doesn't mean it isn't tasty. It reminds me more of a honey-flavored chai than anything. It's very heavy on the spices, and there's a light honey flavor that comes out when you sweeten it. Not something I'd want to drink in the spring and summer months, but perfect for the fall and winter.

I had to try this one, as I adore most of the S&V blends I've tried. But I just can't seem to find anything special with this one. The black tea base results in the lightest of brews - it's the lightest of honey colors and has barely any flavor itself. I definitely need more from a black tea than this. The blackberry leaves don't ruin the flavor but they really shouldn't be here either. Otherwise, I'm only tasting a hint of spices. The roses are a nice touch but I don't think they add much to the taste. I've only had actual baklava once in my life (and it probably wasn't an accurate TRUE baklava) but if baklava is supposed to be dough and honey and nuts, this tea is definitely not that. This blend just doesn't work for what it's supposed to represent, and I would just find this blend boring no matter what the name was.
