drank Eggnog Yunan by 52teas
894 tasting notes

I am impressed. This smells like eggnog, and I can definitely taste the eggnog in this too. The base tea has a bit of a fruity note, which seems a touch out of place, but this is creamy and spiced, with a distinctive nutmeg flavour. All in all a really tasty cup, and one I will have to try as a latte, once I have a new thing of milk.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Creamy, Eggnog, Fruity, Nutmeg, Sweet

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

How do you go about making a latte anyway?

The way I usually do it with steeped tea is to make about 6oz of tea with twice the leaf I would use for an 8oz cup. Warm up 6-8oz of milk in the microwave. Add a teaspoon of sugar, put all of it into a blender cup and blend till it’s frothy. I have one of those magic bullet blenders, so I make it and drink it right out of the blender cup. Pretty quick and simple.

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
