drank Decaf Sakurambo by Lupicia
2816 tasting notes

This came in the last Lupicia grab bag I ordered months ago, but never opened it until now (shocking, I know)…

I have a lot of difficulty finding decaf black teas that taste good so I wasn’t expecting a lot from this. It’s been years since I had the original sakurambo but this looks and tastes remarkably like the caffeinated version. There’s cherry, pink peppercorn and the rosemary flavor that makes this such a unique blend. It’s Cherry with a rustic kick. I can sip on this plain and it tastes really good, but was also nice with a bit of sweetener. I’m happy to find another decaf tea for the evening time that I actually like. I’m happy Lupicia sent this to me because I never would have ordered it for myself. Might need to try this as an iced tea too.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it
