WhippleMarc drank Pu Erh Hazelberry by Adagio Teas

20 tasting notes

After my review of the straight pu’erh from Adagio (Summary: “Don’t.”) I thought I should post this to show that I don’t just hate pu’erh. :)

This is a flavorful, comforting tea with distinct notes of chocolate, hazelnut, and cream. I don’t get a lot of strawberry as such, but I suspect the berry flavor tempers the pu’erh considerably. It’s recognizeable as a pu’erh based tea as opposed to a more straightforward black tea, but the grass/dirt tones of pure pu’erh are blessedly absent. Probably wouldn’t be very good iced, but delightful warm with a blustery spring rain blowing outside.

Flavors: Chocolate, Cream, Hazelnut, Tea

Preparation

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 18 OZ / 532 ML

I drank soda, way too much of it, for years. I had to give it up, I can’t stand coffee, so I switched to tea. As with many things I do, I often get carried away.

Notes On Preparation:

More than 90% of the time, I am making my tea in a 20oz stainless steel mug, although I don’t fill it full because it’ll run over the strainer. :) I use a selectable-temperature electric kettle to heat the water. When I say “2tsp” of tea, I mean a flat to heaping spoonful in a “Perfect Tea Spoon,” which despite its name holds two teaspoons worth of tea. If a tea I review is available in loose leaf or teabags, I used the loose leaf unless I say otherwise.
