Sweeten It With Honey
I bought a ton of this without trying it first because of the chestnut notes it advertised. I usually... sweeten my tea with monk fruit; and it tasted so bitter, it was awful. I decided to try different types of sweeteners before leaving a final review. I sweetened it with chestnut honey instead and it was excellent. It tasted like chestnut green tea. This chestnut honey is not flavored like chestnuts, it’s pollinated from chestnut trees. I haven’t tried other honey varieties or date syrup etc. but I will. I am now very glad I bought it.
