1789 Tasting Notes

This smells absolutely incredible- white chocolate and jasmine. It actually reminds me of one of my favorite fragrances (Nightgown by Solstice Scents which has very similar scent notes to the flavor profile in this blend).

Just a beautiful scent and beautiful flavor.

Flavors: Creamy, Jasmine, Marshmallow, Vanilla, White Chocolate

Another acquisition from Paris.

This definitely benefits from a shorter steep time, as it starts to get bitter right around the 2 minute mark. Not quite pancake, but definitely banana and maple. But not gross, cloying maple that is so often found in maple flavoring. This is quite pleasant- more of a brown sugar, caramelized flavor. The banana flavor is quite mild.
This would probably be really nice with some sweetener and milk.

Flavors: Banana, Brown Sugar, Caramelized Sugar, Maple Syrup

drank Pecan Pie by Dammann Frères
1789 tasting notes

Bought this is Paris and just now getting around to trying it. I don’t know if I’d describe the flavor as pecan pie necessarily, but it’s definitely some kind of nutty baked good. Maybe more almond/marzipan in a pastry crust. I like it, but I got a touch of a medicinal aftertaste that wasn’t great.

Flavors: Almond, Marzipan, Pastries

Definitely it’s more almond than pecan.

I never quite connected with this one for some reason. The base got a bit buried under the flavoring.

The last cup was definitely the most peanut buttery, with just a touch of raspberry.

I don’t love pomegranate teas, but the addition of pear really helps this for me. Such a bright, juicy pear flavor.

I love pretty much every 52Teas banana blend, and this is no exception. Such a great banana flavor, with a touch of smoke. Banana Pudding is still my favorite of the banana blends, but this is tasty.

Flavors: Banana, Smoke

Discovered a spring 2023 sample in my stash. This was a bit better than I last remembered and had some of the chocolatey qualities that I love in a standard laoshan black.

Flavors: Dark Bittersweet, Dark Chocolate, Tobacco
