Meliboum drank My Morning Mate by Teavana

73 tasting notes

Ok, so I opened the bag, smelled it, thought it smelled interesting but there was something off… I looked inside… wait… is that… ? I looked at the ingredients… yes, rooibos. Oh, no.

And now I’m scared. I sooooo need to look more carefully at all the ingredients before I go crazy and buy everything… sigh

Let’s see… the smell of the actual cup of tea is quite nice. I can’t smell any rooibos, that’s a relief ! Now, do I dare try it… ?

Oh, surprise ! I like it ! I can’t taste the rooibos at all, yay ! It’s only the second mate I’ve tried (the first being Chocolate Rocket from David’s Tea, yummy!) but I think I can recognize the earthy taste, which I think is quite nice when mixed with chocolate. And I’ve only had like 3 or 4 sips and I can already feel the caffeine buzz.

Bio

I’m quite new to tea. Like many people, the tea brand that got me started into loose leaf tea was Davids Tea. It was about 2 or 3 months ago. My first try was Pumpkin Chai and I was blown away.

I started mostly because I was looking for something that would satisfy my sugar cravings without all the calories, and also for the health benefits. I soon realized the world of tea was way larger than what I originally thought, and I’m glad I’m now a part of it !

I’m way intense when I get into something, so I bought too many kinds of loose tea leaf, trying to figure out which ones I would like best… So far, I mostly enjoy flavoured black, green or oolong teas. Anything floral, fruity, minty or sweet is great. I like dessert teas and also enjoy chai teas. The only thing I can’t stand is rooibos. I’ve tried several blends and I had to either give them away or put them in the trash.

Other stuff I’m into include traveling, language learning, TV series, yoga, Harry Potter, reading, writing, eating too much and hiking.
