2302 Tasting Notes

This tastes like Forever Nuts and all the other similar blends. It’s desserty and nutty with some milk, but not too special. I’d definitely drink it again, but I wouldn’t need to buy it since other identical blends seem to just show up at my house!

drank Citrus Spice Cake by 52teas

The strongest flavor is the mild spice. Below that, I taste an interesting orange flavor, like the kind you’d find in an orange icing. I also taste a marshmallow or vanilla type flavor. It all is really nice together. The second time I had this, it tasted a bit more like generic winter spices. Still tasty, just not special.

drank Aphrodisiac Blend by True Treats
2302 tasting notes

Since this is on an herbal base (just herbs, not even rooibos) it’s a bit less hearty/bold than I prefer in a chai. However, the cardamom is still strong enough that I’m having a good time. And it’s different from other herbal chais I’ve had before. I wouldn’t seek it out, but it’s tasty with sugar and almond milk. The resteep is nice as well, though a little more herbaceous.

drank Dark Chocolate by Teeccino
2302 tasting notes

This tea had more bitterness than I would prefer. The flavor profile also ended up a little simple for me. I wouldn’t choose this one again, which is fine since Teeccino has so many flavors that are repeat buys for me!

drank Strawberry Patch by Java Momma

TTB sample! This black tea is quite hearty. Below that, I taste a fake sort of fruity flavor. I could see it being a candylike strawberry. It’s not fresh like the name implies. It’s just a straightforward fruity black tea.

This is a pretty good EG creme. The creaminess is lovely, and the bergamot is present at a nice level. I enjoy most of PD’s EGs, and this is no exception. It’s best at room temperature with milk and sugar.

drank Mango Panna Cotta by 52teas
2302 tasting notes

I love the dessert flavor here! It doesn’t quite remind me of panna cotta, but it’s really tasty and smooth. It has an extra sort of creamy thing going on along with the fruitiness.

Ugh this is not a great combination of flavors. Bitter turmeric, not the freshest coconut, and a just okay rooibos base. With almond milk and sugar, it’s technically drinkable, but just sort of bitter and meh.

drank Banana Nut Bread by Nelson's Tea
2302 tasting notes

This tea smells amazing. The primary flavor is the sweet cinnamon that I see in a lot of S&V dessert blends. I don’t taste any banana or too much of anything else. It’s a tasty blend, just not as complex as I’d hoped. It was quite nice with milk, but I’ll buy S&V blends instead to get a similar, less expensive flavor profile.

drank Jasmine Rooibos by DAVIDsTEA
2302 tasting notes

The jasmine was too pungent for me. The rooibos base was decent, but the jasmine was too strong. I just wish it were balanced differently. Thanks for sharing, Cameron B!

Skysamurai

Hmmm…. This seems like a weird blend to me. Do you think if it was mixed differently or with a better base it would work? My brain can’t wrap around this duo

gmathis

Yeah, I can’t see those going together at all. Not even holding hands.

ashmanra

Umm…no

I hate bergamot on a rooibos base, despite loving rooibos and bergamot individually. I imagine I’d feel pretty much the same about jasmine on rooibos…

AJRimmer

Ha yeah, I love rooibos, so I’ll try any combination, but this was never really going to be a winner for me!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
