Enchanted Forest

Green Yerba maté Blend by ESP Emporium

This blend of mellow Sencha and spicy, green mate is a real surprise. Richly decorated, it captivates not only with its striking look, but also develops a completely new and aromatic taste. The tempting aroma of Black Forest Cherry cakes, refined with a little sweetness and attractively decorated, make this blend a much sought-after specialty. An exceptional creation which proves that tea always has something new to offer.

Ingredients: green tea (56 %), green mate, coconut shreds, flavoring, rose petals, cornflower blossoms.

Serving Size: 1 level tsp./6oz serving

Brew Temp: 176 to 194 degree F

Brew Time: 2 to 3 Minutes

This was in the travelling tea box and I believe it came from momo. The name definitely intrigued me. It makes me think of fairies. Speaking of fairies, I think I’m going to buy this for my bf’s 8-year old niece (http://flitterfairies.com/). It seems like something an 8-year-old girl would enjoy, right?

This tea sounded really cool. Green tea AND green mate. For some reason I thought this might be better as a cold brew so I did it over night and .. I don’t know if I’m really feeling it. It’s not as amazing or interesting as I thought it would be. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and brew it hot?

I wish this actually tasted like black forest cake, or just cherry. It tastes like amaretto, but not the good kind, the kind that gets too almond flavored for my tastes. The floral aspects of the tea kind of help, but when your taste buds seem to seek out the flavors you hate, all the flowers in the world cannot help.

I was totally hoping the coconut in here would do something. It doesn’t even make it seem a bit creamy. I guess this one is not for me. I’d love if the green tea was a little more prevalent, along with the coconut. It probably is for some people, and all I can taste is almonds!

Thank you momo for this sample.
This smells awesome. The taste is not so awesome. It is mellow which is nice, but its just lacking too much. Shame too because I love the name of this one. What I don’t understand though is where do these tea companies come up with these names? How did an Enchanted Forest come up at all during the creation of this tea? It is pretty, maybe thats why.

Another tea in the Traveling Tea Box (A) – this smelled DELICIOUS! Slightly sweet and almond-y.

I haven’t had a blend with green tea and green maté before, which was interesting. But this doesn’t taste like Black Forest Cherry cake to me – I’m not sure what it tastes like exactly. There’s a sweetness to this (almond?), but I don’t taste cherry. It’s not bad, just not what I was expecting based on the description.

I actually really liked this one. I had a cold when drinking it but I could taste the fresh cherries and whatever gives it that “black forest cake” feel. Nice tea background too; I’m getting pickier and pickier about that.

WOW! This has quite the aroma! It’s sort of like a sugary cherry floral scent.
The liquid is a little murky but the taste is pleasant
A very pretty tea.

Still can’t get over the aroma of this! It’s awesome. A nice cup, too!

I know this tastes good but my palate is saying ‘eeeh’ to black, black flavored, and greens today…take ‘em or leave ’em type thoughts…I don’t think that has ever happened. I guess I will change to whites and oolongs…see if that’s what I am craving today…
