Sipdown! (5 | 85)
So I signed up for the Nelson’s Tea subscription (don’t ask why I was even on their website, I have no idea…) because it’s only $10 and you get 3 samples with free shipping. And some of their teas sounded interesting. They have a promotion where you get a free gravity steeper with your first box, and I wrote a note requesting for them to leave that out (because I have 10 million infusers that I never use). And they did leave it out, but they included extra free samples because of it! How nice is that? :3
Anyway, I figured I would start with this tea because I was almost certain not to like it. I don’t usually like chocolate teas and cherry is very hit-or-miss for me. Turns out, I don’t like it ha ha. The chocolate is fine, but the cherry tastes like a generic cherry lollipop to me. Which makes sense, given chocolate-covered cherries are more of the maraschino type and have that amaretto-ish note to them. On top of that, the base is puerh, and I can really taste the earthiness. That earthy note combined with the cloying candy cherry is really not a good combination IMO.
Anyway, happy to have it out of the way. :P
