whosbradpitt drank Vanilla Spiced Grapefruit by Plum Deluxe

294 tasting notes

I was skeptical of this based on the name – vanilla and grapefruit didn’t sound like the best combination – but it’s better than I expected. I’m a fan of a grapefruit flavoring and scent. This reads a lot more like a perfume than I would prefer in a drink, and it overwhelms the rest of the tea. I get a little bit of spice in the back of the sip. Something I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy but wouldn’t be mad about having.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
