Deja Vu

A Fine interpretation of a Classic, and Then Some!

This tea is a very good replica of Celestial Seasonings' Almond Sunset, a beloved favorite which was brought back and then dropped again, disappointing all of us in love with this tea. Happily, this teamaster has faithfully brought forth this lovely flavor, along with a small touch of another years-long favorite, Roastaroma. These two flavors defined Celestial back then in the day. Here, several different flavors take their turns coming to the fore; I once brewed this too strong, resulting in a molasses-type taste (a good thing!), although it does not contain molasses; it's completely sugar-free. The name and nod to CSN are fitting as the 70's were the time of back-to-nature and popularity of health-food stores, which had these scents and so many more of herbs, flowers and spices. And they would brew and served these herb teas for you on demand. Somehow in addition to the Almond Sunset flavor, this tea achieves an ending note of apple pie/buttery crust - adding a really nice touch. Another tea company offers a tea which they "say" tastes like apple pie and buttery crust, but - it didn't. However, this one really delivers. And it's all very rich and fresh.

Quite delicious and similar to Almond Sunset!
