Maple Cream Cookie

Sipdown (1285)!

Finally sipping down this more lackluster tasting tea!

I was surprised how oily the mouthfeel of this blend was today because that’s not a quality I remember any of my previous cups of it having – I should cross reference my old tasting notes and see if that’s something I noted in any of them. Aside from the oily mouthfeel, the taste was fine but lackluster. Somewhat sweet and maple-y, but very under flavoured with a particularly flat black tea base. I know some of that is just age though, so I’m more forgiving of the waning flavours.

Overall more of a neutral morning cuppa to sip on from home. More than okay with finishing this one off, though!

Voting Day!! It took me almost an hour but I did it. Never has the process been so slow so I blame London. It is done now and I have since returned home and made a latte. Unfortunately that didn’t go as planned either since the milk didn’t seem to want to froth and then I waited too long and the whipped cream melted.

So now I am drinking the maple themed latte in honor of the election but similarly to Adagio blends, I feel like the base used by this company is low quality because the teas I have had from there have all been sort of muddy. A lot of maple flavor but muddied maple.
