190 Tasting Notes
this tea smells like roasted peanut butter, very nutty. it has a very clean taste, with some really interesting charcoal notes. The charcoal flavor tastes as if I took some tea in aluminum, and let it sit in my charcoal grill over night, or over a few nights and absorbed the charcoal taste. Very interesting flavor accent. This tea is very refreshing, and just makes me want more. out of the 3 zealongs, I can’t decide which I like best, I feel like they are all good for different moods and times of the day. :) Thanks for sourcing this, Tony!
Woot! Got this tea in the mail today and immediately opened it,steeped and iced it! Wowowow! I am not usually a fan of flavored teas, but what a great tea. You know when you have a fruit salad that has been sitting together for a while and all the flavors mesh together into one super fruit flavor? That is what this tastes like! But, I can also taste the green tea base, which is awesome!
Thanks so much to the Sororitea Sisters for hosting the giveaway! You guys, as well as 52 teas rock!
Glad you are enjoying the tea – I really like it too. Congratulations on winning! We’ll be hosting another contest starting Monday – I hope you’ll enter that one too!
I have this blend and despite reviews I am scared to try it. I gather I will be mustering up the courage soon.
Ack! I’ll have to wait til Tues nite to check out the contest:( Gonna be away from my computer all day Mon and Tues. Can’t wait to see what you ladies are up to next:)
Rachel: It’s really good. I think that LissaMarie nailed it when she said that it’s like a fruit salad that has had time to marry and becomes like one big super fruit. It’s really juicy and fruity, but I like that I can taste the buttery sencha tea base too.
LOL Rachel, ditto. Only because I’m not sure it can achieve it’s goal in spite of being very good.
I will try to break into this tonight…wish me luck. I would sooner but I am working on talking myself into this right now.
Rachel – after you taste it you’re likely to wonder what took you so long… :)
Hope you’re right. :-)
yeah, i agree with LiberTeas! You might like the tea more than you think you will. At least I did….i’m not usually a big fan of flavored teas ( and this is pretty flavored!) but it tastes so much better than I was expecting. This was also my first time trying a 52 teas tea…and it was a great experience, and I will likely buy from them now! :)
Sneak Preview I have officially tried this tea now. Watch out for the review soon.
crisp,clean tasting. Very refreshing. The smell reminds me of vegetables a bit- again, like cucumber ( 2 days with cucumber in my tea reviews- i must be craving them!). The flavor is slightly nutty with some lemon juice on the back end of my palette.
Great tea to sip this morning.I love that in my glass cup, I can see the tiny fine hairs from the tea, which reminds me of this tea being almost like a white tea, so it must be very lightly processed.
been sipping on this cold brewed style for the past few days, now just finishing off the last of it. :( Such a great tea to drink though!
I’ve featured this tea in a recent video blog..check it out :) http://bit.ly/ckEqqQ
Very Pleasurable to sip on! The leafspa eagle nest ever drop tea is a very full bodied green tea. The tea has vegetal notes as well as creamy,thick notes that remind me of a black tea. The green tea really coats my mouth and is creamy before I swallow. After swallowing, there is a hint of dryness on my mouth, reminiscent of cotton, but for me,this doesn’t take away from the tea at all.
