105 Tasting Notes
The oolong is very present, very vegetal. It smells heavenier than heaven but the caramel is not present enough in the cup in my opinion. The liquid is pretty light-coloured; I’m surprised about this since the oolongs I drank were usually darker (almost like a black tea). This one looks somewhere between a white and a green tea.Like it, will finish it, but not buying again.
Flavors: Vegetal
I like matcha. I like mint. But when I opened the bag I thought it smelled so weird… The colour of the powder and the final drink is terrible, it’s brown (or muddy green)! I know this is meant to be a kind of way for people to begin drinking matcha but if I would have started with this, I don’t think I would have wanted to try real proper matcha! I’m glad I started with matcha matsu.
Nothing exciting. It’s too light. It has a fruity berry taste (which I’m not a fan of, anyway). I wish the tea base would be stronger (there is sencha in this? really?). However, I have to say that the blend itself, dry, is beautiful. Glad I could try it, would never buy it.
Flavors: Berry
Preparation
It tastes really similar to Strawberry-Rhubarb Parfait in my opinion but more tart and overall less good. I didn’t buy it myself (because I knew it wasn’t something I would like) but someone send a sample to me. It’s nice that I got it for free but I wouldn’t buy that again.
Preparation
Love it! My favourite chai from David’s Tea (well… I disliked all the other chais from DT…). Also, I disliked most of the rooibos I tried but this one is really great! I finished my stash of it so I have to go buy some more.
Flavors: Cardamon, Cinnamon, Coconut
This tea smells heavenly. Honey and vanilla and pastries and Paris :). However, while this isn’t a bad tea, I just wish the flavours were more obvious once steeped. If I’m paying 10$ for 40g, I want my experience with the tea a bit more intense.
Preparation
Not sure about this tea yet. I haven’t had many good experiences with rooibos nor with white tea or fruity tea. Because of its fruity flavour, I guess it would be nice as an iced tea. I will try it again but I’m not sure yet I would repurchase it.
