2665 Tasting Notes
TTB sample! Never have I tasted a tea that I would describe as lotiony as strongly as with this tea. It was so lotiony that I gave the cup to someone else. That’s all I tasted.
Fruity chai isn’t my favorite, so this wasn’t going to be a winner. I like milk with my chai, but the acidity from the fruit makes it a little funky. This tastes tart and fruity, but I also taste spices, especially the cardamom. The acidity it a bit harsh in the back of my throat. I don’t love the black base this is on. Still fun to try from the TTB!
TTB! The peach flavoring was a little chemically for me. It reminds me of maybe an Adagio tea I had years ago. With milk and sugar, it’s still drinkable and reminiscent of peach rings. Not bad, but not something I would seek out. It’s just a little too fake, and I don’t get any cream or much oolong.
TTB! This was beautiful when it bloomed in the water, though I was unsure if I would enjoy the flavor. I’m happy to say that the flavor was quite nice as well! It also made a super strong resteep. It’s very floral, but the flavor is actually best if you allow it to sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours to mellow. And I kept the initial steep time relatively short as well, knowing my preferences with floral flavors. I didn’t have time to finish my cup before leaving on my three week long trip, so I put the cup in the freezer and enjoyed a lovely tea popsicle yesterday!
TTB! I removed as many rose petals as I could since I’m not a huge rose fan, and I’m glad I did because this ended up pretty enjoyable! I’m drinking this cold, and it’s a little fruity and floral on quite a smooth green base. The main flavor is still rose, so I wouldn’t prefer much more of this.
