2501 Tasting Notes
For having spice in the name, the spices are a little mild. I taste apple and some sort of spice, but not too much. I steeped up the last of the bag with the mocha Beach House tea, and actually they’re pretty great together even though they were super meh separately. They just each needed more going on. This was best hot.
I gave this my typical chamomile treatment of milk and sugar free flavoring syrup. This time it was banana syrup, which was really nice! I didn’t find this to be better than any bagged blend, but this was nice enough!
This tastes quite similar to Teeccino blends, but with more bitterness. It definitely does better with a shorter steep. You really get the coffee vibe. It’s best with almond milk, lots of sugar, and even some whipped cream on top. I prefer the fun herbal coffee flavors Teeccino carries though. This one is a little straightforward for me, but it certainly is what it says!
This tastes really similar to a Plum Deluxe tea I’ve had. It’s really nice! It’s good with milk and sugar. I taste a lot of lavender. I don’t really notice the coconut, though there’s definitely something else in there other than the lavender. It’s a nice rooibos too.
This is a powder that I mixed up with hot water and soy milk. A little goes a long way! It’s quite hearty and spicy. Everything must be combined pretty evenly because I don’t necessarily taste anything more strongly than anything else. I’ve had a lot of weak chai recently, so this is a nice reprieve! Nice garage sale find!
I never liked candy corn, so luckily this doesn’t remind me of it at all. It’s desserty, though I can’t tell exactly what it’s going for – I taste sprinkles? Maybe something like vanilla icing? I removed the marshmallows before steeping. With milk and sugar, this is quite nice! I like it best cold.
The black tea is pretty hearty. Comparatively, the peppermint is a bit mild, but I noticed it in the aftertaste. This is pleasant cold with milk and sugar, but I’ve had better versions of this flavor profile. Some sips are pretty candy cane -like, which is fun. Decently, tasty, though not special.
