2965 Tasting Notes

So the Groundhog saw his shadow, but I’m eschewing the six more weeks of winter in favor of a spring-like tea.
I don’t know why this has been so long neglected in my cupboard (other than my massive stash of teas, that is). Its quite nice, light, with lots of tasty floral flavor and a hint of fruitiness to it. Its come along to be the next work tea, where I am looking forward to drinking more of it.

Once again my eyes open an hour before the alarm goes off. What gives, body/brain? Why do you do this? Aaaarghh!
So, Malachi, you are up to the bat. Help me out of this fog.
This is just such a dependable tea. Its strong without being overwhelming, and has a soothing mellowness to it, so that the jolt you get from it is not enough to give you a heart attack.
May it help this day proceed smoothly.

I know I had a cup of this. I remember brewing it! But do I really remember how it tasted. Er, not really. Whoops.
Hmm, does not bode well for this blend, does it?

Sipdown! Wahoo!
I am victorious. I defeated this tea, and it did not overcome me.
The summary is as follows-meeeeeh. Blargh. I didn’t find anything that tasted like cake in this cup, just a sorta unpleasant sourness.
But now its a sipdown! One closer to my goal, and victory is mine!

This one ages too quickly because of the coconut. I wish they wouldn’t add coconut to it.

Now that the treacherous thought “Getting Figgy With It” happened, I don’t know that I will even successfully pour a cup of this tea without thinking that phrase.
That’s ok, I love getting figgy with it. Noms!

Oooh boy. The last time I reviewed this tea was four years ago. Four years! Aaaargh!
Into the work bag it went today, and now its on my desk, where it is going to get sipped down, darn it all.
I blame this reticence on my imperfect relationship to green tea. I’m never the worlds # 1 green tea fan, but as I get older I’m finding it easier to appreciate. Me of the past, however, was perfectly willing to shove teas to the back of the cupboard and ignore them for years.
Well, that stops with this cup!
I’m afraid age has taken some of the shine off of this. Its got a mellow, strawberry sort of flavor to it, but nothing special. Nothing bad, either. So I’ll get this drunk down soon enough!

The thrill of the chase! I have almost caught the bottom of the bag on this one, and am very excited.
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I get no cake flavor at all from this- just a slightly berry ish tang. At least, with a light enough steep, it does not get too bitter.

Woke up an hour before my alarm from a work-related nightmare. Fun. Bleh.
I quite like this. I think I don’t all the way adore it (yet, anyway), but I really do like it. The flavors are blending together very well, and the scent is lovely.
Generally its a calming cup, which is a nice thing after a rough night of sleep.

I feel the same way…it’s very good but Paris is much better imo.

Rosehips

Agreed! A very nice addition to the Harney line up, but there are better blends.

And sipdown!
Lots of this was drunk without logging, which is totally fine. Its that sort of tea- uncomplicated, easy to drink, basic.
And now a sipdown! One closer to my goals.

I am never really going to like this tea, but the flavor is partially being drowned out by my growing glee that its getting sipped down. I saw the bottom of the bag there, for a moment.
I am going to win! Ha, take that, cupboard.

I love tea! I confess that I was a hot chocolate lover for most of my life, but recently a switch has gone off in my brain, and suggested that I might just love tea. And I do!
I’m a bit of a novice, but an enthusiastic one, and am happily sipping new varieties all the time.
I love vanilla, fruity, and caramel flavors, and cant wait to try more.
