76 Tasting Notes
Thank you Laurent for this sample! This unfortunately isn’t the Earl Grey for me. I love a lot of bergamot and I found this tea was black tea with hint of bergamot.. Out of curiosity I tasted it hot and then let it cool down and tried it iced. Not bad either way but not a full blown Earl Grey.
This tea is quite a mix of different flavors. Between work and wedding planning it has been a very stressful week already (it’s only Tuesday?!) and I heard Tulsi can be calming. I feel a bit calmer and relaxed but hot tea usually does that. This tea tastes of fairly strong lemon and pepper, an interesting mix.
I received this sample from Just Organic. My fiance and I shared a mug of this last night and we didn’t agree on what it tasted like. He tasted black tea, vanilla, and maple syrup. And I swear it tasted like vanilla indian food to me. I have no idea why but I thought it smelled like I walked into an indian restaurant. Cardamom, curry. So I didn’t love it because my tastes buds seemed a little off.
I haven’t tried any of my Just Organic samples yet, but the samples were only in tiny single bags and I noticed that pretty much all the teas smelled like the spice one. So maybe that’s where you’re getting the vanilla indian food taste (which sounds terrible btw).
Haha they really do. I didn’t notice overlap in my other samples from them but this one definitely tasted strangely indian to me.
I had this one yesterday afternoon but I didn’t have a chance to review it. This one is has less of a flavor in comparison to the others I have tried (Caramel, Caramel Popcorn). This one tastes creamy and vanilla, it reminds me a bit of the vanilla protein powder I have but with a green tea bitterness. I had to add a little sugar to help flavor this one. Very tasty but not my favorite of theirs (because the rest are AMAZING.)
This is a sample I’ve had for a while from a David’s Tea order. I’ve been avoiding it since fruit teas aren’t my favorite. The tea leaves/pineapple bits smelled quite sweet when I opened it so I was worried it would be too sweet. Once brewed it wasn’t too bad. More tart than sweet. There’s a lot of pineapple flavor and less oolong flavor. Definitely an interesting mix.
I really want to rate this one 100 after today’s discussion because this tea makes me want to have a tween moment. OMG IT’S SO GOOD! #bestteaever #heaveninmymouth
On to the review – Seriously this matcha is amazing. I’m officially addicted to Red Leaf Tea’s flavored matchas. I’m working on placing an order right now. I had it over ice with almond milk this morning instead of my usual coffee and it hit the spot. It’s perfectly buttery and caramely goodness. I thought I would get my fiance addicted to these but luckily for me he prefers his coffee in the morning. This is another homerun from MissB!
Another from MissB. I had a feeling this tea would be a bit to sweet for me when I saw Honey in the label but I thought I’d give it a try. It tastes artificially sweet to me and it’s hard to get past the sweetness to taste the lemon and ginger. Meh but I’m happy I tried it.
Another one from MissB. I think this is the first rooibos tea I’ve loved. Maybe it’s a rooibos tea hater’s gateway drug tea? From the intense lemon smell I expected it would be more tart but it’s perfectly creamy and a little sweet. I will definitely order this one!
