351 tasting notes

First and only H&S tea I’ve ever purchased. So many tasting notes and some date back like almost 10 years! I’m a baby when it comes to flavored tea (well, I’m a baby about a lot of the things >.< lol) so take my comments on flavored tea with that in mind. So I’m just putting a positive note and rating on this one because it deserves it.

It’s citrusy (bergamot) berry-delicious, caramel, some cocoa notes, slightly lemony finish delightful cup of tea. I also get some pastry and/or cake notes. It brews up very dark. I followed instructions per package, just did one steep since it was so late.

I had this last night before going to bed after a day of raw pu erh tea sampling. I usually put a rating after my first sample of it (first impression), and then near or close to the sipdown I write a review on it. In this case, I have like 2 more servings so it’s near the sipdown. I’ve always enjoyed it when I had a cup of it.

Flavors: Bergamot, Berries, Cake, Caramel, Citrusy, Fruity, Jam, Lemon

I heard several times this is one of their best blends. I never tried it but looks quite lovely.

Martin, that’s why I bought it too hehe. I bought a stump pot from them and before that, I had heard people say that it’s in their top 5, or top 3… Etc. of their teas so thought I’d try it. ^^

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
