1387 Tasting Notes
Hm the scent of this on both dry and steeped makes me think of a carbonated grapefruit beverage.
2 for 2 today. Geez. See what happens when I have to wake up at the crack of dawn and miss my morning tea? Bad choices.
If anyone’s interested in the rest of my 12g sample I picked up, you’re welcome to it.
Preparation
I’m tasting mint and lemon and something else I’m not familiar with. This one’s pretty yummy but I’d have to be in the mood for minty to have it.
Preparation
I love this one to help shut my brain off before I go to bed… I’m not normally into chamomile but this is forgivable.
Hah yes the more I have the more I feel it may shut my brain off rather than back on for my last few pages of reading here.
Hmm smells like some sort of bizarre coffee. I had a mild ice coffee addiction in the summer (the joy of what spring AND summer courses will do to you), but the smell of this one isn’t really doing it for me.
Also getting a whiff (barely) of maybe bananas? I’m not seeing that in the ingredients. Just waiting on it to cool.
I am excited to be drinking this out of one of my many new mugs from DavidsTea since both my orders finally arrived today!
This one’s not for me. I’d just have coffee if I wanted coffee, rather than a coffee-tea hybrid.
Yeah I know what you mean! Sometimes I feel like I’d be better off drinking cocoa too, instead of chocolate teas. Some hybrids just can’t compare.
what kind of mugs did you get?! my roommates and tea guests all tell me how much they love my cups and mugs from davidstea. also i’m having this mate for the first time right now. and it’s definitely missing something.
I got their “The Perfect Mug” with blue seagulls flying on it :) Reminds me of home haha. And also one of the Asian style mugs (neither are offered anymore) but I use the Perfect Mug always. I’m actually going to invest in another once some more summery ones come out :)
Thanks ToiToi for sending me this sample!
Smells pretty good. Not nearly as strong as an earl grey so hopefully this one will sit well. Just steeping.
It was my birthday a few days ago and today my friend gave me my gifts – one of which was a Buddha board! So awesome (I even did a blog post on it!). I’ve been playing with it all night. I can see many study distractions in the future with this on my desk. Oh my.
I’m enjoying it more than pure earl grey for sure. But still not thinking it’s what I’m looking for in an earl grey. But I’m also not sure what exactly it is I’m looking for. Perhaps I’m just destined to try every earl grey out there.
Preparation
My grandparents got me the matcha essentials kit for Christmas so I had to try it out. I’ve only had matcha mixed in with green tea lattes (with coconut) at a shop at my school so this is a new experience for me.
Well I googled how to make a matcha latte and I followed the instructions (minus the milk frother – perhaps I’ll order one). It’s a grassy, earthy taste. I’m enjoying it but it’s different for sure. I added a wee bit of coconut syrup to my cup. Enjoying it a little more with the addition of coconut. I’ll definitely be trying out different ways of making matcha :)
These teas by 52teas smell amazing. Incredible. This is no exception. I only steeped this for for 2 minutes because lately every black seems bitter to me. It seems to have worked! I’m not getting any bitterness.
Thrilled the Earl Grey is not overwhelming. Actually the taste of this tea is much more subtle than the scent. I’m much more tasting the cheesecake and black tea – yay for little bergamot!
Thanks to Will Work For Tea for yet another awesome sample!
