tea-sipper drank Apple Black Tea by Nature's Tea Leaf

4307 tasting notes

Another apple tea from StarFevre! Thank you! Originally, when I first tried this in the year that StarFevre sent it over, it had an apple flavor that was quite good. At this point, the apple flavor is so OFF, due to the age of the tea, so much so that it will be the rare tea that I actually give up on and just throw in the garbage. I hate to do it, but the flavor is just Not Right at this point. I tried it yesterday and again today and I just can’t do bad tea. It was ONCE okay though! I will just have to think of all those teas I DIDN’T give up on! And I will not count this as a sipdown.

Nah, I feel to guilty about chucking it to count it as a sipdown.

I miss Nature’s Tea Leaf. I had just fallen in love with several of their varieties when they closed up shop.

I agree, gmathis! If only we knew Nature’s source for their teas!

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!
