drank One Night In Rio! by Camellia Sinensis
1443 tasting notes

2021 sipdown no. 44

A sipdown of my sample package, because Camellia Sinensis is having a sale today, so I finally placed my first order of 2021 to get 50g of this delicious tea (plus a few others, naturally)!

I absolutely love this tea. The pineapple and coconut with the black base is like a tropical breakfast treat. The pineapple almost has a caramelized pineapple flavour to it. From the first cup, this was love.

Curse you/thank you Courtney!?! :D I’ve been buying tea for almost 5 years. This company is on my “to buy someday since I have enough tea to last a lifetime”. I read this note and promptly went to their website and about to place my first order and this tea is among them! :D

I hope you enjoy the ones you’ve chosen! I’ve been really impressed with this company and will definitely continue to order from them!

Are you getting new teas to try or reordering ones you know you enjoy?

This one is the only repeat that I love! Otherwise, I’m getting a number of new ones (mostly sample sizes). What did you look at getting?

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
