4843 Tasting Notes
This is very nice to wake up to this morning… normally about this time, I’m headed back to bed for an “after I get the little one on the school bus” nap, but, I wasn’t up as late last night as I usually am, so I feel well rested at the moment… hopefully this tea will help me shake the last remnants of sleep.
It tastes so good. So much better than I ever anticipated. This is one that I would never have purchased for myself but I am so glad that a friend gave me a tin because it really is delightful.
Pleasant cranberry flavor that isn’t too tart, sweet orange notes. Very autumn-ish and delish!
Preparation
wow… this is TART!
But, as it cools down a little, the tartness seems to subside just a little. I love the coconut and pineapple here. It tastes smooth and creamy and a little sweet.
I did have to add a nice dollop of honey, though, to curb some of the tartness… tart is just not my thing. Other than that, though, I quite like this, and it probably would have been better if I hadn’t left it to steep quite so long.
Preparation
The aroma of the dry leaf is very prominently ginger, as it brews, more of the lemongrass comes through, but the ginger remains dominant.
This is really nice to sip on a chilly evening such as this. It really warms me up! I also like how the lemongrass curbs some of the more peppery notes of the ginger – it’s not too gingery, but not too much lemongrass either. It’s very nice.
Preparation
Very nice! I like this one chilled… I think that it somewhat subdues the flavor of the rooibos without completely masking it, and somehow that nutty, woody flavor of the rooibos really works with the spearmint flavor.
It’s cool and crisp. I like it… it is especially nice for nighttime!
Preparation
The dry leaf is really beautiful. Smells amazing too!
Delicious and light, the cranberry is sweet yet tart (but not too tart). I can also taste the raspberry flavor which adds a little more sweetness, perhaps to off-set the cranberry flavor just a little? The rose is very subtle but adds a nice contrast. YUMMY!
Preparation
This is a really interesting tea. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything quite like it. It is earthy, woodsy, and slightly smoky. It is malty and a little bake-y… and even a little buttery. I can taste distant notes that have hints of flower and fruit to them. There is a deep sweetness to this.
I really like this. I REALLY like this!
Preparation
I had a difficult time getting up this morning… and after I got my little one on the school bus, I headed back to bed for a nap. I still feel a little groggy and like I don’t really want to get up and GO… so I decided I needed some invigorating Green Yerba Mate!
This is a very good Green Yerba Mate. I don’t know if it’s been aged or not, but, it has a very fresh taste since it is green. It is a little earthy but it isn’t as overwhelming as in some of the green Yerba Mates that I’ve encountered… not all Yerba Mates are the same!
Nice with a drizzle of honey!
Preparation
This really could be a suitable substitution for Dawn! Yes, really! I want to do a side by side one of these days to compare… but not today. Today, I want to just explore the features of this tea.
Chocolate-y, rich, robust. It has a bit of astringency, but, it isn’t overly drying. Very pleasant. Delicious!
Preparation
Enjoying a cup of this before I need to get out there and run some errands. It definitely has some get up and go to it! I really like this Assam. It has a very pleasant character. I just wrote a review for it for the SororiTEA Sister’s Blog… watch for it!
