I’ve been wanting to try more of The Persimmon Tree’s tea for a while now.
And were nice enough to send me samples in exchange for reviews!
I’ve tried a few of their teas now and have really enjoyed them, so I have high hopes for these samples!
As many of you know, I’ve started on a quest to find more relaxing teas to drink like chamomile. And since I’ve always only had bagged chamomile from Celestial Seasonings I decided to try a loose leaf chamomile!
Plus banana and coconut are flavors I love, so of course I had to try this one!
The dry leaf smell was sweet and slightly banana-ish, but nothing too overwhelmingly strong.
But the taste was quite different. It was sweet and light, hardly any signs of banana and coconut. There was very faint hints of banana in this tea, but nothing to be super excited about. I was hoping for more flavor than just chamomile, but it seems like chamomile is a difficult flavor to hide. :S
In comparison to other chamomiles I’ve had (which aren’t too many sadly), it’s actually pretty good. While I wish it had more banana and coconut flavors, it still has hints of those two here and there.
I did enjoy this tea the two times I had it, and once they have another really good sale like they did a few months ago, I would definitely pick this one up!
I would like to play around with this one a little more. Perhaps there is a way to bring out the flavors more!
Anyway, overall, it’s a nice and calming tea. Definitely is relaxing, and perfect to drink when I’m drugged up! Glad I got to try this! I’ll have to get more in the future! (:
Thanks to the Persimmon Tree Tea for this one! :D

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
