2145 Tasting Notes
This is one of my favorite teas as well and I don’t normally go for a bagged tea. I’ve had trouble finding it lately so I’m saving my last few bags for when I’m sick, it does wonders for an upset stomach. It’s a very slight and slightly sweet tea.
Preparation
I’ve actually been drinking this every day for the last month or so. My husband bought me a pound of this tea for our first anniversary, I just discovered that I still had some [by some I mean over 100 bags] hiding in my tea cabinet [almost 4 years later]. I think this is an interesting combination, you don’t normally see blueberry paired with a black tea. The blueberry is pretty subtle and gives the tea a slightly tart flavor.
Preparation
This tea has a bit of a bite, but I tend to steep it for a really long time. It’s great for an upset stomach. When I was off at school I ended my nights of heavy drinking with a cup of this so I didn’t wake up with a sour stomach the next day. I couldn’t drink this every day, but it serves its purpose wonderfully.
Preparation
This is actually one of my favorite teas from Yogi, I drank it every day for a long time when I was cutting back on caffeine. It really doesn’t taste anything like kombucha, which is a plus in my book because I don’t care for it. It does have a slightly fruity flavor which I like. Another thing to note, I wouldn’t drink it for the benefits associated with kombucha because you only get that from a live bacteria/yeast which this is not.
Preparation
This was my first time drinking Lapsang Souchong. I saw a box a the supermarket so had to pick it up. I didn’t know what to expect so the smokey flavor threw me for awhile. Half a box later and I’m a huge fan. I like to pull this out in the fall when it starts cooling off, it definitely isn’t one I’d drink every day, but it never fails to remind me of the way my house smelled when I was a kid [we had a wood stove in the kitchen that heated the house].
Preparation
I’m on the fence about this one, but mostly because it is rooibos and I’m not a huge fan. I like that its a more mild rooibos flavor and most of what you taste is spicy with a subtle hint of peach, a little to subtle if you ask me. I’d love to have more peach taste out of this one.
Preparation
I’ve come across two teas from Yogi that I just don’t care for and this is one of them. The taste I get from it is overwhelmingly sage and not so much lavender. Since I’ve got most of a box left I tend to drink this one when I’m sick and can’t taste a thing. No sense in wasting good tea when I can’t taste it anyway.
Preparation
I saw this on the shelf a while back while I was traveling and since it was something I couldn’t find where I was living at the time I brought it home with me. It’s hard to rate this tea because after trying other rooibos teas I’ve decided that I just don’t care for them. It isn’t bad, it isn’t my favorite of the rooibos that I’ve tried, but I just can’t drink this on a regular basis.
