338 Tasting Notes
Where was this on January 2nd? LOL.
I don’t have a hangover today, but I do have some stomach troubles, so I thought this might be a good idea to try this one. I like it – it’s got kind of a weird taste, but it’s similar to one I get in a lot of mate blends, so that’s okay. It’s a bit sweeter than most, which is a pleasant surprise. I’m not sure if I like this more than The Buzz oe Detox, which are two other similar teas I’d use in this case, but it’s definitely yummy.
I miss having a lemon tea on my tea shelf! It’s one of my favourite flavours in tea, so I had high hopes for this one. Thankfully, I was not disappointed! I let this steep extra long, so the taste would be bolder, and… mmmm. A delightful addition to my breakfast this morning. I may use one of my free tea rewards to pick up 50g of this, since the only mate I currently have in stock is a tiny bit of The Buzz (that reminds me. I need to get some more Electric Lemonade).
I said I wasn’t going to purchase any new teas for a while, but a new collection? I had to pick up some samples to try! :)
I really liked this one, as it’s a nice blend of sweet and spicy. And mango! I’m tempted to use one of my free tea rewards to get 50g of this.
Day 24 of tea! We are at the end of the advent already, whaaaaat.
This is one of my favourite teas from DT, as in top 5. I love it, and I always have a stash of it in on my shelf. I purposely put this one as my Christmas Eve tea, and it definitely helps the festive mood.
Merry Christmas, fellow tea lovers! :)
Day 23 of tea!
I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of the advent calendar! What!
Another old favourite for today, though it’s normally one I can only drink when I’m feeling under the weather. Not so much today, this tastes much better than I remember – and the smell is amazing. I love that this is just plain, straight up spearmint. No extra things.
Day 22 of tea! We are nearly finished, oh my word.
I’ve been hoarding some of this, since it was a part of last year’s fall collection, and it was one of my favourites from that lot. I still like this one a lot, and it was nice to brew after coming in from a couple of hours of shovelling (guess I’m not in the part of the country experiencing a milder than normal December?). I love all things cranberry in the winter, and the I find the flavour of this one really yummy. So my high rating is staying.
Day 21 of tea!
Another ‘previously tried’ tea, LOL. The last time I had this, I was coming off 2 days worth of travel from the other side of the planet (seriously – Wellington/Auckland/LA/Toronto), and since the fall collection was released while I was on holiday, a mate was delicious and muchly needed at 7 in the morning! Caffiene fix today isn’t as vital, haha, so I think I’m noticing the flavours a little more. I added some milk to it, and it made it a little sweeter – this doesn’t really have the earthy taste of most mates, and I like that.
Day #20 of tea!
I was waiting for this one to show up! At first taste, this is pretty much the same flvaour profile that the rooibos Gingerbread had, except now with added mate, haha. It definitely takes like cookies, though, to me, the ‘gingerbread’ part of it is a little more muted than I would ideally like it to be. There was a lot of leaf in my sample tin, so I foresse a few more cups of this one. Mmm.
Day 19 of tea!
Again, an old one I’ve never written a review for. Tsk tsk, self. I picked this one for the advent because of the ginger (one of my favourite tea flavours these days). Thanks to the pear (and possibly some other fruit influence?), the ginger was muted, but it worked for me. Spicy and sweet! I do wish there was more actual tea in the sample, though.
