Bamboo Shoots from TeaFrog
70

I chose this as one of my free samples when I ordered the “Steepster Select” stainless travel mug from Tea Frog. I am not very well-versed when it comes to green teas, and this might only be the second flavoured green tea I’ve tried. Overall, it’s very pleasant… I was worried that it might be sweet but other than the teeny bit the fruit pieces and coconut add, it’s not really.

I didn’t use a huge, heaping teaspoon so I steeped it a bit longer than I normally would a green tea (about 4-5 min, but I wasn’t watching the clock closely). The colour is very light, a yellowish-green, and the scent is also light—slightly fruity with a hint of something tropical. The flavour is subtle… nothing jumps out at me, note-wise, and thankfully I don’t get anything artificial from this blend. I’m very grateful that I can’t tell there’s ginger in here, and I don’t get any cardamom either. It’s a very pleasant green blend with a little something extra. Nice, but I don’t think it’s a must-have for me when the sample runs out.

I love bamboo shoots! I’m gonna order this as soon as I can and look for other bamboo flavored teas.

Bio

I’m a 41-year-old vegetarian zen witch who is obsessed with tea, music, beer, psychology (and many other things)! I really dislike herbal teas and will mostly only drink black with the occasional green and white mixed in from time to time. I have two huge cabinets full of tea that I will probably never be able to use up—it’s a constant battle to keep myself from buying more! Every time I travel, I come home with a bunch of new teas to try. I don’t post on here as often since I’m really trying to keep my collection in check and haven’t been trying as many new blends as I once did.
