Pass the Stash TTB 2.0
Savory tea, huh? Okay, I’ll be brave. :P There are actually 3 kinds in the box, but I chose this one first because I figured carrot is a pretty sweet vegetable, and I do like curry. The instructions said to steep this in boiling water, but this claims to be green tea… So I did 185 instead, which is higher than I’ll normally go for green tea. Compromise! I originally steeped for 5 minutes and then went up to 10 after a quick taste.
It smells strongly of curry! But in a kind of sweet way, like it has coconut milk in it or something. I am shocked by how good this is! It’s delicious! Much less intense than you would expect from the aroma, and slightly sweet from the carrot. It’s largely a sweet tea with some added curry spice that makes it amazing! There’s also a little hit of fresh cilantro in there, which adds a nice herbaceous, fresh element. Zippy! I definitely don’t taste green tea at all in here, which is fine with me.
I am totally amazed that I love this tea! I would absolutely drink this as an evening tea (the green base is decaffeinated). There are a couple other savory tea flavors in the box, I’m considering trying another one. But I don’t want to deprive someone else… I don’t know how much interest there will be for these… Hm!

wow, I’ve been afraid of trying those savory teas from Numi, this sounds pretty goo though!
I thought this one tasted the worst of the lot. I had to throw it out after a few sips. Probably shouldn’t have followed the water temp directions.
Surprisingly, it is! This makes me want to order the variety pack and try them all. Obviously, if you don’t like curry, you won’t like this tea. :P
KiwiDelight, I don’t know, could just be not to your taste. I never use boiling water for anything but herbals… Paranoid! :P
There was a tea in the samples only TTB that had pictures of broccoli and asparagus (I think) on it. I noped right on past them.
I like carrots, I like curry, but it was NOPE.
Marzipan, that would have been broccoli and cilantro. I can’t remember if I tried that one…
The tomato mint one was great for cooking, now I’m curious about what this one can be used for too…
I am one of those people who genetically doesn’t like cilantro. Yuck.
I should have mixed it with cooked rice, come to think of it.
