drank Pancake Breakfast Black Tea by 52teas
1759 tasting notes

what whaaaaaaat!!
this tastes like pancakes!!!!!!! so good. I was worried it would be buttery in the way that buttered rum from DTs is, but no this is buttery in just the right way! It’s like liquid pancake, with butter on top (and not butter with a dab of pancake like I had feared!)
And the “pancake” flavour, well there is no way to describe it other than that… how they managed to get the flavour into a tea is beyond me, especially since it isn’t super sweet, but just right.
The bit of astringency in the finish is nice to, reminding me that this is a tea and not some delicious breakfast in a cup!
This is my first 52teas cuppa, so I’m kinda in novelty shock here :)
Any other day this might get a lower rating, but I am in just he right mood for it today, and since it’s the first time I am trying it, well it’s just perfect in this moment!
Thanks a million to PoliticalMachine for sending me this sample! I’m very impressed.

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
