Honey Yuzu from Tea Forte
67

I thought this would be one of my favorites. Not so much. :( I’m not sure what it is I’m tasting, but is certainly isn’t anything close to honey (it smells like honey at least). I had hoped it would be sweet but instead it is turning out pretty bitter. Oh well – sip and learn.

I am sorry to hear you did not find it sweetly honey. You must be use to taking more sugar or sweet in your tea. Although, I seem to remember reading you like your green teas with nothing in it. I thought it sweet for my palette and the glow at the cup’s bottom is quite nice.

I must admit to seeing things that are not necessarily there. Good review, sorry you didn’t like it.

I don’t take anything in my teas usually. Sometimes I add agave, but I figured this one would be sweet enough without any additives. Guess not. Oh well.

I haven’t used sweeteners in my tea for such a long time! This tea is one of 2 that I have left as samples from this offer and I have to admit that the smell is freaking me out a bit. I think that I might have to add honey or something because it just smells so weird to me.

It was a weird smell! I still can’t figure out what it reminds me of, but it does remind me of something! I suggest a little agave with this tea.

I have the cherry and coconut teas left and I can’t try the coconut one (allergy), but I’m going to try the cherry tea, but cherry isn’t my favorite.

I actually liked the cherry one but it wasn’t as cherry flavored as it would lead you to believe. :( that’s too bad about the coconut thing. I actually don’t own agave but I keep hearing things about it from my sister in law. I guess I just don’t use sugar/honey with about anything really. Maybe I should try it just for fun though! :p

I suggest trying it at least once! Let me know what you think!

O.O I just got my sample out so I’ll remember to brew it tomorrow and for some reason it smells, peppery? It was in a dark corner all by itself. I don’t even know if I want to understand what’s going on here.

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

I’m happy to try samples and review them if you are a tea company. PLEASE NOTE I do not want payment for tasting/reviewing your teas. Just the sample will be fine. :)

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at thepurrfectcup@gmail.com, thank you.
