832 Tasting Notes
Its Monday, but I got christmas cards in the mail, and a package of delight from JustJames, which has made it great. I need to sleep well tonight, so I havent yet broken into my delightful new French teas. I’ve settled for this cup of vanilla yumminess.
Tea. Such a wonderful thing.
Thank you James!
backlogged from last night. I put on my pjs, brewed this up at watched a few episodes of Poirot, which was a lovely evening.
I’m glad that I drank the last of this tea. Not an impresive tea at all, it hardly registers.
Well, its out of the cupboard, to make room for another tea!
Hmm. Nope. I am not overly impressed with this one. It might be my problem, and not the tea. I’m getting a little cinnamon, but no apple. Its not the cup of pie I was hoping for.
My reaction to nearly all teas that I’m on the fence with is “I will tinker!” and I play around with steep time an leaf amount, to try to find the proper steep. So I will play along with this tea, and see what comes of it.
What is this? What is it! I got this as a sample when I visted Lupicia last month, but its all in Japanese! And the website does not have it, that I can find.
Hmm.
It smells sort of like a hazelnut chocolate. Hmm. A pretty nice smell, too. And it tastes just a little bit like a hazelnut hot chocolate.
Does anyone know what this is? Its my only sample of it, so when I’ve sipped it, its gone. I’m curious.
I’m home for spring brake and I’m totally raiding my mom’s tea pantry and she said that everything that has caffeine is mine!
I’m searching through steepster and the company sites to figure out which ones I’m allowed to take from her, and I came to this. Still don’t know what it is? And I think mother got this at the same time as you since it’s in cutie patootie christmas packaging as a sample haha. Well, I’ll figure it out soon enough!
Nope, still no idea what it is! If you find out, I’ll be interested to read your review.
Yesterday I went to a local honey company, who open up their warehouse only twice a year, to stock up on lovely honey, and to get some for gifts.
Its amazing, in really good honey, how you can tell the diffrence between type and type. Orange blossom honey tastes diffrent than wildflower honey.
I bought some for me, and a few for presents. I love honey.
So I sliced up some homemade spice cake and an english muffin, and covered them with some of my new honey, and brewed up this gentle vanilla tea. Yum! This is nice. Not mindblowing, but good. I’m glad I got 4 oz of it.
This is a tea that I would never have picked up on my own. “Nut tea?” I would have said to myself, and walked right on by. But this was part of a freebie that Davids gave out on the birthday of the store I was in, and so I will be brave.
Its pink! The rumors are true! And its not just pink-ish. Its a fruit punch piece of glass. Almost neon. Beautiful.
And its so sweet. It smells like apple pie, and its got an insane taste of sugar to it, which might be the beet, and the nuts and the apple and the cinnamon are lovely.
Huh. Well, good one, Davids tea. I was not expecting this. I might actually restock this, once I’ve gone through the little bit I currently have.
Wowza.
Chocolate. I was reminded of this by Santa’s Secret, and decided to dig my last little bit out of the cupboard. This is my favorite of the chocolate teas I’ve had, but its still not quite what I was dreaming of. This is a sipdown. I’ll probably get more at some point, but no urgency.
Sipdown!
