2970 Tasting Notes
I’m rapidly running out of cold weather (waaah!), so I’m determined to drink my more “wintery” blends with a renewed focus.
I don’t love this quite as much as I once did, but its still a nice Winter Spice sort of blend. Its also a good, strong cup of tea, which is a great thing, as I have a mighty need for a strong cup of tea this morning.
This suffers the same exact fate as that of the Sleepytime Vanilla- its a vaguely pleasant cup of hot water, with the worlds smallest touch of flavor. In this case the honey flavor is somewhat musky. Not bad, just not a delicious honey note.
Oh well. I’ll be done with it soon enough.
So, I think this is a good blend. The base and the chocolate notes are actually really well blended, and I can tell that the general flavors are well balanced.
But I must say that I am not a big fan of either Pu-ehr or of chocolate teas, so this blend is never going to be a favorite.
But its doing very well as a work tea, where its getting sipped down quickly.
Backlogged from yesterday, where this was a sipdown.
I liked the idea of this more than the execution. I’m all about spicy teas, but the spices and the Lapsang base just never really blended well, and I never really loved this.
Its another sipdown! Hurrah for the cupboard clean out!
My boss, who is a very nice person, has been fighting a cold all week. Which is is now my turn to fight.
Damn it all, boss. Keep your germs on your side of the office.
Anyway, I have no idea if this tea helped, but I’ve successfully fended off the cold, and sipped down this tea in the process.
It tasted like wet hay, which is how I know its medicinal.
This is your boss with the air conditioning fetish, am I right?
Hope you feel better. Cold’s are somehow even more evil when you know they originated with someone else in your circle. Sick people, stay home!
