286 Tasting Notes
GAH.
This tea tastes so much like Big Red gum, it’s like I just chewed on a fresh stick. Amazing.
It reminds me of Hot Lips, but I actually think I like it better – without the hot spice, this is just delicious cinnamon. I would order more of this for sure, if there was a way that I could do it where I wouldn’t become incredibly irritated.
Preparation
I am so glad to finally drink a Harney & Sons tea that doesn’t make me want to immediately place another order.
It’s not that this one was bad, though. It was a lovely blend, I did enjoy my cup, but I found that the delicious chocolate / hazelnut flavor that I was looking for didn’t really show up until after the sip. Then, it felt like I’d just eaten a spoonful of Nutella.
Very good, but I wish I could taste that while I’m actually drinking it.
Preparation
This was very delicious and fresh. I think I would have liked a bit more of the vanilla flavor, but I love how this tea was refreshingly minty without having much bite. Just a nice tingle, like I just brushed my teeth. Super yummy, I am glad I got a bag of this before it disappeared.
Waiting to rate because it’s been a couple days since I had it, and I’ll rate it the next time I drink it.
Preparation
I had this one for breakfast yesterday, mixed with a little of Della Terra’s Blueberry Crumble. YUM. This is a great blend, I might drink it like this from now on.
However, this tea on it’s own makes for a much better cup of breakfast tea. Together, they take on the dessert-y flavor that Della Terra is better known for.
Preparation
Catching up with the teas I’ve been drinking the last couple of days. I had this one the other day mixed with a tiny bit of Vanilla Orchid, and it was so yummy. The vanilla was a perfect complement to the floral-y grape flavor. So delicious!
Preparation
I had two delicious steeps of this tea this afternoon. It tastes a lot like Copabanana to me, which is definitely not a bad thing. I had a $10 off coupon with Teavana, so I got a few herbal blends to try out. So far, I’m quite enjoying them.
Preparation
I haven’t had butter in a long time, I haven’t bought it in years. But for some reason, this tea tastes like burnt butter to me. It’s not really bad, I enjoy drinking the cup, but it’s not fruity to me at all and I’m left feeling like it’s not doing for me what it seems to be doing for everyone else.
Sigh. I don’t dislike it, but there are teas I much prefer, and it may end up in my swap tin.
Preparation
Ahhhh, hello, beautiful.
Grey day here, and I was stuck unable to work because of the loud noise of the shop vac in my apartment. So I enjoyed an afternoon of drinking my monsterful ‘tea-na colada’.
You should probably make this immediately.
Preparation
This one is interesting. It’s beautiful, especially after cold-brewing for a few hours. Hot, it tasted primarily of peach to me, and was very flavorful and juicy. I haven’t finished off my cold-brewed jar, but the sip I had was very tasty, refreshing and sweet.
Definitely not on my reorder list, but it’s a fun tea.
