drank Tiramisu Oolong by 52teas
4330 tasting notes

I haven’t had the pleasure of trying real tiramisu but I’m sure I would love it. Not knowing what the dessert is and sipping this, I’m sure it gives the tea an advantage. I see HUGE marshmallow root pieces and some cocoa nibs, which seems a little odd for a green oolong base. But the results are tasty enough. At least no gasoline chocolate flavor. But I would have liked MORE of the chocolate/marshmallow flavors. One marshmallow root was huge! The three steeps were similar tasting – just not enough tiramisu for me. But the oolong is a nice unobtrusive base to use for a flavored oolong.
Steep #1 // 1 heaping teaspoon // 10 minutes after boiling // 1- 1 1/2 minute steep
Steep #2 // few minutes after boiling // 1 1/2 minute steep
Steep #3 // just boiled // few minute steep

I’m surprised this has held up for you! My bag that I was cherishing went stale on me recently. You should totally try the tiramisu dessert! It’s SOOOOOOO good!

Well, now that I’m looking at the description, I’m noticing there were other flavors I didn’t taste at all outside of the marshmallow and chocolate. It probably didn’t hold up that well. It’s just new-to-me. :/

Dustin

Oh no! I hope I’m not ruining your appreciation for it! I’m a tiramisu snob. I blame the Italian in me!

tea-sipper

No, not your fault at all! I still like the tea but looking at that description, there should definitely be more flavors there that probably aged by now.

I guess I should try and sip down the few cups I have left of this huh? :/

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
