106 Tasting Notes
Again I just can’t bring myself to put this in boiling water. (not sure why since this is the second green I’ve noticed that Lupicia states to brew this in boiling water…) So I did my normal steeping for greens. This is pretty good. Not my favorite gemaicha with matcha, but its not bad in any way. It’s just missing something for me I am not sure what though…..
Preparation
Had some of this earlier today. It says to steep in boiling water but I don’t like the idea of putting a green in boiling water. So I steeped it at a normal temp for greens. It smells really good very sweet and floral. It tastes really good. I was a little worried about how sweet it would be with the sugar that is in it, but it wasn’t bad at all. A very nice green tea.
Preparation
I got this in my New Year’s Happy bag. Which was a really awesome deal. Now I have to work my way through trying the different teas. So this one I am having after lunch since I was craving something sweet. So I was good and steeped this instead of having a cookie. Dry it smells like sweetened pineapple and coconut. Steeped it is delicious. Very buttery creamy flavor with just a hint of pineapple. I really like that you can taste the oolong more than the flavoring. Liking this one a lot. Yummy!
Preparation
I love green tea. I also love cherry almond anything. So this was an instant buy for me when Frank put it up. Such a delicious blend. Sweet with a touch of smokiness from the gunpowder tea. Which helps to tame the cherry so it wasn’t too overpowering. Really yummy!
Preparation
Got this as a free sample with my order from Butiki. I’m glad I picked it man this is yummy. I will definitely be ordering a full size of this! I love grapefruit and green tea. So I am not too surprised that together they taste amazing. The grapefruit is very subtle. This would be lovely iced but, sadly I only have a sample. But I will definitely adding this to my stash soon. Love it!
I love lemon and this is has so much lemony goodness going on in the cup I love it! This is the first tea I’ve had where I really like the aftertaste. It tastes like a delicious lemon pastry. Pefect way to start my morning. :-)
Preparation
Wow this is so lovely. I love jasmine teas and this is a really good one. Very smooth and sweet. It has just the right amount of jasmine not overpowering at all. This is so calming and soothing. I got this as a sample and I must say I can see myself ordering a full amount next time. Thanks Teavivre!
Preparation
This is really strong. As other reviewers have said the cinnamon is a little overpowering. But when I made it as a latte it was a lot better. The milk tames down the intensity a little bit. I love the smell of it. It definitely smells like winter. This was given as a gift to me for Christmas, so not something I would buy again but still tasty.
