Ost drank French Vanilla Bean by The Persimmon Tree Tea Company

737 tasting notes

Sooo this is going to be a shorter review.
My pain killers are kicking in like…6 hours late and is making me feel super exhausted, despite all the tea I am drinking tonight! XD Was going to try all of the Persimmon Tree’s teas, but I am gonna have to end on this one. :/
I don’t know why I never bothered getting a sample of this from the few times I ordered from them. I have no idea what I was thinking! Maybe I thought the name was too bland…I really have no idea.
But I’m regretting not trying this sooner!
I love vanilla teas, I need to try all the vanilla teas!
The smell of this one really threw me off though. It smelled strongly of chocolate and coffee. Perhaps my sniffer is just broken, but it definitely smelled that way to me!
The taste is fantastic!
I’d compare it to the Vanilla jelly beans you can get at the store.
It’s so full and strong. This one will really wake you up in the morning!
It’s much stronger than Periwinkle, in fact, it’s one of the strongest vanilla teas I’ve had so far on my quest for the perfect vanilla tea!
Really enjoying this one. If you are looking for a good vanilla tea, this is worth a try!
I will definitely have to pick more of this up!!
Thank you soo much for the sample, Persimmon Tree Tea! :D

Flavors: Chocolate, Coffee, Sweet, Vanilla

Nice, I’ve been curious about this one! And I hate when painkillers take forever to kick in, or if they don’t do anything at all.

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
