16068 Tasting Notes
So what’s really strange about this brew? All i can taste is cinnamon…but i’m pretty sure that there isn’t any in this, so go figure. Maybe my taste budes got confused. Not a fan of this one as a result but it might be worth another shot just to see if it stops tasting like cinnamon haha
I’m going to have to agree with Azzrian on this one. I wanted to try this as another oonlong to see if there is that consitent taste across oolongs that I’m not a fan of. it’s there in this oolong as well, so i suspect either I’m steeping most oolongs incorrectly OR, I’m just not a fan of oolongs :)
Another sample from Indigobloom?. While this is a really lovely tea, I’m wondering if oolongs just aren’t my thing. I’m not getting the citrus notes in this one but I can taste the jasmine. the color is beautiful ( I’m so glad I bought the bodum glasses for drinking tea with at home) and its a nice relaxing cup of tea. I just don’t think I’d purchase it, but that’s more to do with oolongs than this being a bad tea.
So somehow I managed to forget to log this a few days ago when I finally sat down to try it. I haven’t actually tried the butter beer at Harry potter land at universal – the day we went it was waaaaaay too long a line. BUT this tea is quite delicious….as long as you like root beer :) I cold brewed this as I wanted to see if this could be a refreshing après workout tea and it certainly is. It’s uncanny how much this tastes like a cold flat soda. :) Im looking forward to trying this warm, with maybe a dash of cream to really bring out the buttery flavours.
I think I need to break down and try this. I’ve had the butterbeer at universal and it was delish (I prefer the cold, but everyone else likes the frozen).
If you go back to WWoHP, whatever you do, DON’T GET THE CORNISH PASTIES! They are an insult to Cornish Pasties and I feel so bad for an British person that goes expecting quality.
I didn’t know muhammad could be a verb :P
shush you…stupid ipad auto correct. fixed.
Indigo: LOL! On Sil’s behalf I hereby exclaim, “Curse you, autocorrect!”
Sil: I thought Butterbeer was great lightly sweetened and iced, too!
lol remind me never to use an ipad. I’m sure with all my typos that I’d end up posting gibberish!
Mmmmmm this was the last of my sample from the persimmon tree. I’ll be sorry to see it go as this is a really nice caffeine free tea. Perfect for in the evening when I don’t want to risk the buzz from caffeine. This will need to go on to my shopping list to pick up once I get through more of my samples and new teas.
This tea is another sample I picked up in my exchange with kittena and indigobloom. I wish I could say that I loved this tea….but I can’t. It starts out lovely but thetail end of each sip reminds me of the few adagio teas that I’ve tried and haven’t been a fan of. I REALLY love the way each sip starts out though….
Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong as I hate spreading mis information but Sil I think this IS a recreation of an Adagio tea. If memory serves, which it often doesn’t, I think that this one is actually a lot better than adagio’s blend.
This one is from me :)
This sounds so wonderfully delicious!
Azz-I’m pretty sure you’re right on that one. I’m sure this blend is better than adagios’. (mostly cause I find I don’t like adagios teas) haha
Received this as a sample from either kittena or indigobloom. Overall not a bad tea though I’m not really sure what I should have been expecting haha. Would have been inreating to have a whole bag f this as I suspect most cups would taste different :)
What I’ve learned about working out… Make a tumbler of tea before you leave the house, so that due to the insane properties of my tumbler, by the time I’m done and on my way home, the tea has cooled off enough to let me drink it while I travel home haha. And that’s exactly what I did today. This tea is a nice, every day kinda of tea…and by that I mean it’s not super crazy flavour insane tea, but it’s not too bland and blah….it’s like the red rose orange period tea my parents drink every day. Except this taste nothing like that heh the is apricot goodness in a tea.
Oh man….today was an exhausting end to an exhausting week. Friday is workout day! It’s been almost a month since we started going to the gym regularly and today it was a struggle to go and stay…so by the time I got home and we cleaned out the kitchen and made dinner I was pooped. I don’t usually react to caffeine but just in case, I really wanted to make sure I ended the night with a non caffeinated tea…or low as possible.
This one arrived in the mail tonight along with a few others so I figured there was no reason NOT to try it! Besides, i figured if nothing else, it could be like dessert!
Well, this tea didn’t disappoint! This might be my favourite tea from frank so far. When you open the bag it is intensely cinnamon-ey..yeah that’s a word tonight lol however in brewing the tea, it really does just becomes a mess of cinnamon bun flavours. Just like with real cinnamon buns, I couldn’t
T drink this every night, but man, when I drink it, it will be wonderful!
