768 Tasting Notes

When this tea was hot, it tasted kind of like weak nothing. As it cooled, I could taste the fruit flavors a little over the mild black tea. I do wish that the fruit flavors could be stronger though. They were much too faint in every cup of this I had. Oh well.

The flavor here is rather malty and deep. It tastes good both with and without milk. I was quite surprised to find such a satisfying bagged breakfast blend.

It seems name is just right!

I saved a tiny sample of this tea from a previous tea box. It smelled like old coconut even back then, so I probably should have made an effort to use it up more quickly. The flavor was mostly old coconut as well, but just old as in stale/soapy, not as in rancid. The black base is gentle. I’m sure this tea was quite nice in its prime. It certainly wasn’t unpleasant to drink today.

I have actually been trying to hunt down this very tea yesterday. haha I LOVED it from a teabox. I THINK it might be this one, but don’t quote me on it? https://specialteacompany.com/product/pineapple-coconut-black-tea/

Oh awesome! Yeah, I didn’t expect to enjoy this one, but there was something surprisingly enticing about it!

This tasted a little peachy, but it also had a distracting herbal flavor to it. Teas like this are frustrating to me because I don’t care about whatever supposed health benefits they offer (metabolism boost in this case), and the health ingredients just make the tea taste worse. It could have been a tasty peach tea, but instead it was a little too herbaceous for me.

I think this tea is best cold. The chamomile, mint, and sweetness mix to make quite the lovely blend. I don’t buy boxes of this anymore, but if I come across a bag somewhere, it’s always a safe bet.

I’ve never tried it iced, but I have some stray bags that need to be used or disposed of…just enough for an experiment!

Perfect!

Somehow this tastes fruity even though there aren’t any fruity ingredients. Maybe I’m tasting anise. It’s not very chai-like, mostly just lightly sweet. Not a bad tea, but it doesn’t match its name. Really it’s so fruity. Though other reviewers aren’t noticing this. Maybe I got a weird batch..

I haven’t been too impressed with Teavivre’s fruit tea options. They all taste pretty generically fruity and almost indistinguishable from each other. This one has the same red fruits flavor. It’s a little weak also, so I recommend overleafing. But I really can’t recommend this tea in general. It’s boring and not very tasty.

Shame such a boring tea has such a fun name!

Thanks to Plum Deluxe for the sample! The nuttiness is the main flavor. If you’re in the mood for something nutty, this would definitely do the trick. This blend is more rooibos than anything else, which I’m a fan of. Nuts and quality rooibos just combine so deliciously. I’m not sure I notice the black tea there too much. Really, this is a tasty, deep blend. I’m glad these samples are so big because I’m going to enjoy several cups of this one!

Sounds lovely! Anything with chestnut really draws me in.

AJRimmer 5 years ago

Yeah if I’m ordering teas from a company, I’ll basically buy every nutty blend. They’re just so good!

Thanks so much for the swap, tea-sipper! Everything looks great, as always. I started with this tea because I was in the mood for something lighter. It’s slightly minty while also being herbaceous. It has a lot of ingredients, and I certainly can’t taste them all. I wouldn’t say that everything necessarily fits together perfectly, but it’s not bad. There’s just something a little tangy in there. So yeah, I wouldn’t buy this one, but enjoyed sampling it.

This smells and tastes a little seaweedy. It’s not bad, but it’s not my preferred sort of tea. If you don’t mind savory teas, you might enjoy this one.

Bio

Steepster is glitching for me, so I can only access it using my laptop, which I don’t use very often, so I unfortunately will not be as active on here as I prefer to be.

I’m an event planner who always has two mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, and listening to podcasts.

Favorite flavors: Almond, strawberry, nutty, dessert flavors, melon, mint, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
