2071 Tasting Notes

Ha, I love trying different EGs, but I have to echo what other people mentioned and say that this one tastes like dirt. I also taste a pretty decent blueberry. I think adding almond milk helped this taste like drinkable dirt…but still not desirable. Thanks for giving me the chance to try this, Cameron B!

Sigh, all of Deb’s Earls taste like that to me and it makes me very sad.

It’s so strange and unfortunate!

This is pretty pleasant, especially considering I oversteeped it. It tastes like an herbal tea, so I don’t know what the green tea adds. It’s not too tart, just fruity and nice cold. I’d drink this one again, but I wouldn’t purchase it due to the caffeine content. Thanks, Cameron B!

I would have guessed this had vanilla, but apparently it doesn’t. Ha maybe that’s my vanilla almond milk talking. This flavor is quite desserty and tasty! The base isn’t as harsh as in some of the other flavors. It’s straightforward, but smooth and tasty, especially as it cools to room temperature.

I like this one, too!

Well I don’t usually like smoky teas, but I figured I should try this anyway. This is smoky and meaty, but maybe they chose a milder one to be enjoyable to a general tourist palate because I really don’t mind this as much as every smoky tea I’ve ever tried. Of course I diluted this heavily with milk and sugar, but I found this meaty in a comforting and not overbearing way at all. I liked it even more with almond milk. It was just so hearty.

This was hearty, meaty, and almost smoky. With milk and sugar, it was really pleasant. The meatiness passed after my first surprising sip. Then I tasted the pleasant, full bodied tea – a bit desserty, so rich and good. I considered buying some, but it was a little pricey, so I ultimately didn’t.

This was super smooth without any bitterness. I’m actually not exactly sure how to describe it since it’s different from the teas I usually drink. There is a bit of an emptiness that I start to notice after a while. On my second and third cups of this, I enjoyed it more. It became desserty and almost biscuity.

This tea was a bit more vegetal than I prefer. It was fun to try, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the Singlo. I was also mostly saving room for the black teas.

I was in Boston recently, and I had to visit Abigail’s Tea Room, which was attached to the Boston Tea Party Museum. The museum tour was a little too expensive, but I spent a lovely hour in the tea room sampling the tea types thrown overboard during the Boston Tea Party. It was only $4 for an unlimited supply of the five teas, plus sugar and milk options. I drank way more tea than was reasonable, but it was really fun.

I’m not much of a plain green tea person, but I enjoyed this! It was served hot, which isn’t how I usually drink my green teas. Sweetened a little, it was pleasant, a little bitter, but mostly smooth.

Wow! That is an amazing price and sounds like a fun experience!

It was such a delightful way to start the day! And there were actors in costume stopping in too!

This is a really nice tea. It tastes super floral, but in a way that works. The base is hearty despite being a decaf tea. The cream flavoring is strong and very complementary to the floral flavors. I enjoy this one sweetened with milk. It’s so creamy it sometimes doesn’t even need milk! The resteep tastes really good as well.

The scent and taste both strongly remind me of a 52teas blend from maybe 2018? It’s so familiar, and quite tasty as well. I’d say it does lean more ground ginger than gingersnap specifically, but the base it’s on is pretty nice. It turns out a little straightforward, but I’m enjoying it. The resteep tastes super good as well.

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
