695 Tasting Notes
I was not really impressed with this one at all.
The body was light, but the taste was of basil. I didn’t pick up much blueberry. There’s a little bit on the nose but no taste of berry after that. To be fair, I had some blueberry oatmeal before drinking this but even contrasting the super sweet flavors of the oatmeal I couldn’t taste blueberry in my tea.
What green tea flavor there is, becomes muted by this strong herbal leafy taste. There’s a decent amount of astringency but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a good thing either.
Will be leaving this freebie aside in favor of a better cup.
Flavors: Herbs
Preparation
This is a pretty good decaf iteration of a classic tea.
It’s not perfect, but for the genre there’s a good deal of citrus oil in the mix. The largest drawback tends to be in the black tea, again because of the decaffeinated leaves. For a decaf however it does hit its mark as a solid brew. Good thing, because my girlfriend purchased six boxes of it for the pantry.
Nighttime tea drinkers rejoice!
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus
