737 tasting notes

Finally Trying this! I’m so excited! I’ve been so overly anxious about this tea, it’s not even right. xD When I first smelled this tea I didn’t think of cotton candy. I kept thinking of some other fruit for some reason. When it’s steeping it smells a lot more like cotton candy.
As for taste it seems like a few people on here weren’t really impressed. I can see how you would think it tastes like sugar water. xD But as someone who really likes sweet things but can’t actually sweeten things herself, I really like this tea. Also cotton candy is kinda just sugar in general. So it makes sense why it would taste like sugar water.
It totally tastes like cotton candy. This was what I had hoped that Della Terra Teas’ Cotton Candy would taste like, but instead it was just like drinking straight rooibos with a tiny hint of something sweet. But this one is really strong. Even the aftertaste is good. :O Ugh man, this tea.
This was definitely a win for me! Probably will have to get more before it’s discontinued. Also seems like the thing to do for rooibos is to put cute lil sprinkles and stuff to make it more appealing. xD I approve of it. Even though sometimes it’s misleading for certain teas. Not for this one though!
If you are a cotton candy fan you probably should at least try it. It’s worth it! Love this tea! ^^

Flavors: Candy, Cotton Candy, Sugar

Bio

I’m not too sharp with intros, but I figured it is about time to give it a go.
I started out drinking oolong and green tea that my dad brought home from his China business trips.
Then I discovered Teavana, and fell in love with some of their teas. Eventually I stumbled across Steepster, and a whole ‘nother world opened up.
Have discovered so many different kinds of teas, and have been loving this journey! The tea world is insanely big and amazing! And I’ve met some of the kindest people here who have broadened my horizons in more ways I could have imagined! Happy to be here, and to be drinking so many amazing teas! :D

My rating system:
1-59: Really really not a fan. An awful cup of tea for me…Totally undrinkable.

60-69: Not horrible, but not something I’d ever drink again willingly.

70-79: Pretty good. Wouldn’t mind drinking ever so often. But not a keeper.

80-100: FREAKIN’ AMAZING. Always keeping on stock in my home!!

I like pretty much any kind of tea except green tea. Unless it’s genmaicha or strongly flavored, I don’t like it usually.

My Tea Goals:
To find the Best Caramel Tea
To find the Best Vanilla Tea
To find the Best floral Oolong
To find the Best Malty Assam Tea
To find the Best Maple/Syrup Tea

Notes I like: Fruit(primarily peach, melon/honeydew, Banana, Kiwi, but I’m open to other kinds), Malt, Desserts (Toffee, Cake, Cookie,etc), Vanilla, Caramel, Floral, Sweet potato, Pastry/Bread,Jasmine, Honey, Cocoa, Chocolate, Maple, Nutty, Coconut, Almond.

Notes I’m Picky with: Lemon, Chai, Roasted, Blueberries, Hibiscus, Smoke, Earthiness, Puerhs, White Teas, and Cinnamon

Notes I hate: Citrus/Orange (Everything that I hate in this life that I have to take for my health is orange flavored, and it just makes me gag…so please…just no), Watermelon, Raspberry, Wood, Apple, Bacon, Lavender, Most mints, Pepper, Spicy, Tart/sour.

Yes, I am a picky tea drinker, but I’ll usually try any straight black or oolong tea that I receive. I like most oolongs, and I’m still discovering straight blacks. They always seem to surprise me no matter what!

And Swaps! I’m always down for swapping. Everything in my cupboard is swap-able. So just hit me up and send a message and we can totally do that!

On an unrelated to tea note, my other interests are limited due to health issues. But when I can, I enjoy reading and writing. Watching Netflix and YouTube have also been fantastic when I feel awful (which is most of the time).
I love Rifftrax, Rooster Teeth, Dexter, Hannibal, BBC’s Robin Hood, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Psych, and Parks and Rec.
Love watching all sorts of movies too, but that would be too much to list. :P
I’m definitely more of an internet person and love talking to people on every website I’m on. So if you ever wanna chat, shoot me a message! ^^
