Smells just like its ingredients, and tastes just like it smells. This is a good thing. I think I’ll have to try a few more cups before I can assign a rating though. It’s a unique tea!

I really like this one. For some reason, I was prepared to dislike it, but I ordered an additional couple of pouches from 51teas.

drank Maple Bacon by Man Teas
2977 tasting notes

I bought this for my hubby’s birthday, hoping we’d both like it. Turns out it’s too weird for him.

It is bacon upfront (a bit smoky and salty), with a slightly sweet finish. I added a bit of sugar and milk, then decided it wasn’t sweet enough, and added maple syrup. Next time I’ll try maple syrup as my only sweetener. I think it would be good with a plate of scrambled egg or biscuits & gravy, or some other hearty breakfast. It’s a fairly robust tea that tastes like breakfast in a cup. Def not for everday, but a good once-in-a-while change.

I mixed some (1/2 tsp?) into about a cup of Zico brand mango flavored coconut water. This may be the world’s best natural energy drink!

Saw this http://www.harney.com/Coconut-Water/products/413/ and immediately thought of you!

cool! I wish I could try it without ordering a whole case though. I am tempted to order the one with coconut pulp though… I bet it would be good in iced Pina Colada Honeybush too (which I just logged today).

drank Oi Ocha Dark by Ito En

This advertises a “bolder taste” but to me it tastes bitter (overbrewed?), with a strong honey note onteh finish. I actually looked to see if it’s sweetened (it’s not.) I definitely prefer the more subtle, yet more complex taste of their regular brew. In fact I bought a whole case of it. I can taste a bit of woody/roasty something behind this if I strain, but the bitterness is primary on my palate. It’s drinkable, but I don’t enjoy it like their other green.
