1908 Tasting Notes
I tried it with milk this morning and I don’t think it added anything to to the tea, if anything it looses much of it’s subtleties. Still not tasting any pepper.
Preparation
For me I only get pepper through the smell and sometimes that smell will translate to a subtle pepper taste. And even then I don’t think “mmm, pepper” but more like “I bet that’s what they meant by pepper”.
That’s what I thought too, but quite a few people have said that they actually get a taste similar to fresh-ground black pepper out of their Yunnan teas. shrugs
Well maybe I need to make better Yunnan choices to get the full pepper flavor.
Well for all we know it’s all a huge joke the tea someliers like to play on unsuspecting newbies, lol “Find the mythical pepper-flavoured tea!”
XD
That’s what I’m thinking! It’s like the Where’s Waldo of tea flavors… and Waldo has walked off the page but we keep looking. Hehe.
I’ve come to the sad conclusion that this tea, while decent on its own, doesn’t compare to Adagio’s Thai Chai.
Wow, just adding about a teaspoon (or less, I didn’t exactly measure) of wildflower honey really brings out the natural sweet, honey flavour of this tea.
Preparation
Okay…this kinda freaks me out! I saw this on the shelf yesterday and had it in my hand and put it back only because of the amount of tea I have at work and at home in my stash. I have never tried tea from this company and I am now thinking about going back and buying it. Thanks for posting!
