Maddy Barone drank Winter Cabin Chai by 52teas

762 tasting notes

This is the third tea of my recent 52Teas order. I believe they were going for a fire burning in a rustic cabin feel, and I think they nailed it. The smoke is prominent here, but not overpowering the clove and cardamom. I did not get the sweetness in this cup, but I didn’t miss it. The tea is not bitter or astringent. I really enjoy trying out the teas from 52Teas. They are all excellent quality teas, with unusual flavor combinations. I’m glad I got to try this one. I wouldn’t want 50 grams of this, but the taster size I purchased will be just right.

Flavors: Smoke, Spices

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
