teaqueen drank Bavarian Wild Berry by Lipton

681 tasting notes

I think honestly… I prefer Lipton’s plain black tea to this one. This one is okay, and I’ve had success with other teas from Lipton- I really like the Harvest Strawberry & Passionfruit Rooibos and the Blueberry Pomegranate White/ Green blends in the Pyramid bags, for instance. And I LOVE their bagged Green Tea Superfruit blend with Blueberry and Acai Berry. But the berry flavor in this brew kind of turns my stomach a bit. Just plain black tea is usually kind of bitter, even when it’s steeped properly, and mixed with the tartness of the berries, this just ends up being a little too acidic-tasting to me…

I think I’ll stick to Lipton’s regular-old Yellow Label breakfast blend, if I’m going to drink their black tea.

Bio

Hello! 28, female, American. A total hopeless bookworm— I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in English. I also love dogs, all things that are colored purple, and sarcasm. I work in the Information Technology field at present.

I’m not a swapper, but I hope we can still be friends :)

Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, matcha, rooibos, honeybush (recent change of heart there), and floral greens.

Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.

I’m very picky about chai and spice/ spicy blends as well as fruit-flavored teas; they really need to be done right, IMHO. I’m iffy about mate, as well as herbal teas, although there are a few tisanes that I enjoy (roasted dandelion root, chamomile).

Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus in high quantities, plain peppermint.

90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.

70-89: Good.

50-69: Meh.

49 and below: Blerg.
