Originally native to the Mediterranean, almonds are now domestically cultivated in many places around the globe. References to almonds can be found in the Old Testament, and, even after all these years, almonds still hold an important part in people's diet. The almond aroma in this tea resembles the heady smell of almond extract.

When brewed the amaretto aroma and taste is reminiscent of marzipan. This aromatic black tea blend has a rich, sweet taste and an aromatic fragrance that will delight your senses! The bright amber cup smells like a hot amaretto toddy but our tea version is, of course, non-alcoholic! The brewed cup has a pronounced, but not overdone, amaretto taste that lingers deliciously on the tongue. As it cools, this tea becomes even smoother with the almond flavor becoming less pronounced.

Ingredients: Black teas, almonds, and natural and artificial amaretto flavor. 

Contains Tree Nuts

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Tastes like the marzipan cake I had at my wedding

Tastes like the marzipan cake I had at my wedding. Since the arrival of this tin I have had this daily. It takes me back 15 years ago to the start of a wonderful union.

Great flavored tea

One of my favorite flavored teas. Not too strong, and a good taste of almonds.

THIS is everything you've hoped it would be

I adore almond, press cookies, the aroma of almond extract - and for years I've seeked an utterly almond tea. THIS IS IT. Upon opening the bag, I'm greeted with the aroma of almond extract. Beautiful bits of real almonds run throughout the tea blend, making it as lovely to see and steep as it is to enjoy and drink. All almond, all the way. It's a press cookie in a cup.
Complex yet comfortingly simple, it reminds me of childhood baking, my favorite cookies, my favorite flavor for any dessert. Love marzipan? Press cookies? Anything almond? THIS is your tea, the same goes for the green almond. Now I await a caffeine free blend to come, so it can be enjoyed all hours of the day.
Spectacular on its own, perfection with cream, a hint of sugar will bring other notes forward. Absolute 10 out of 10, THIS was the winner that hit for me - everything I have been looking for.

The Best Tea!

This is my favorite tea! I happen to live near Simpson and Vail and make request stops, where I buy this tea a pound at a time.
Everyone I have shared this tea with has fallen in love with it. The strong marzipan smell is much more subtle when brewed.
I prefer it with cream and no sugar.

Almond?

Hardly any almond taste at all. I had to add slivered almonds to it. A huge disappointment.

A great tea to serve alongside pastries!

My family loves the flavor of this teathe almond taste is strong without being overpowering, and it feels like eating marzipan or almond biscotti! Very cozy to enjoy with pastries (I'm partial to croissants or cookies, but it's also great with coconut flavors like coconut cream pie). I can't recommend this one enough!

Almond black tea

It's exactly what it says on the tin; almond tea. It's nutty and warm, but not that strongly-flavored. It smells more of almond than tastes of it.

meh

I love almond flavoring in cookies, but seems not so much in my tea. I'll finish drinking what I bought- it's decent. Just not my favorite.
