2318 Tasting Notes
I hadn’t been planning to open this tea yet, but my cat bit a hole in the bag for some reason, so I emptied it into a tin. The flavor doesn’t remind me of red velvet in any way. I taste mostly rooibos and some murkiness. It’s not bad, but I love red velvet, so it’s disappointing. My subsequent cups tasted mostly like strawberry and rooibos. Strange.
I don’t find the chocolate flavor to be very strong. I taste mostly black tea with a bit of dessertiness. It’s pleasant, but it doesn’t stand out. Refrigerated with sugar and milk, I thought the flavor became more chocolatey and nice! I still find myself remembering and preferring other similar 52teas blends like rocky road though.
I enjoy a fruity EG, and this one is pretty good! Hot, the flavor is milder than I had hoped, but the hit of tart cranberry is fun. As it cools, it gets creamier, which I always enjoy. The bergamot, cranberry, and black tea all mix quite pleasantly together. It’s slightly tart in just the right way. Yeah, definitely drink this one at room temperature with sugar and milk to get the most out of it.
This one is super fake and candylike, but pleasant enough with some milk. You really need to double up on the teabags to taste the flavor though. I like my tea sweet, but I could see it being a bit sickly sweet for others. I’m also getting tired of it about halfway through the tin.
I don’t think I’d enjoy this straight, but I drink it cold with almond/soy milk, and that makes it taste like a strawberry milkshake. It’s quite rich and desserty. Genuinely, it’s a great strawberry milkshake. The resteep tastes like beets.
Lol how is raspberry and vanilla red velvet cake? Tea companies are so weird sometimes… But tea selection by cat, I like it! :P
