15767 Tasting Notes
While this tea isn’t BAD it’s a bit astringent which ruins the taste a bit. It’s nice, but the back end atringency ruins it.
Just drank this, and completely agree (although ‘ruin’ might go a bit far, it certainly downgrades the quality a LOT). I can just imagine these flavourings with a better base…. ohhhh, heaven!
Also, if you have a ton of this or something, I wouldn’t mind a bit more when we end up meeting up!
I’ll keep that in mind. We really should meet up sooner rather than later!
I’m not sure it’s gonna happen before Christmas :( I’m too busy :’(
I hear you on that one! If you guys make it to the city ever let me know. If nothing else we can maybe coordinate a drop and go lol hi, by! got me tea here’s yours see you in a few months! lol
Whee! Thursday morning working from home! here’s hoping i get time to make lots of tea given that tomorrow I’ll be without. Thought I’d start out with a latte instead of my smoothie to kick off things with a warm drink. This is an interesting matcha. I think i need to play with it a bit more since there’s an underlying taste there. Maybe I didn’t whisk it enough.
wheeeeee! Moar tea! I’m not too sure why I’m so happy today but it’s a good day. One more day to prepare for my client meeting on friday and then it’s the weekend! Which of course will be full of testing and other work related things but it’ll be the weekend! And I can get groceries and spend the rest of the weekend drinking tea at home while i work.
Maybe if i get lucky I can get in one of the games we picked up in the pas 2 weeks that I haven’t had a chance to open yet sigh
WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!! It’s tea day! not like any day ISN’T tea day but today just seems like more than usual. Also, my last note was my 300th tasting note so that’s super exciting. Not nearly as many as everyone else around here but in my head I’m really at 600 since I’ll do one tasting note for 3 cups of th same tea heh.
Anyway still loving this matcha and still REALLY enjoying my morning smoothies. Going to miss having one Friday morning…might have to actually have COFFEE to keep my awake during my all day client visit blech
congrats on 300 :D
Congrats on 300! :)
No.. not the coffee. Tea all the way! Hehe.. just kidding. Congrats on your 300th tasting note. I should have more but I’m just too lazy to log ALL the teas I drink.
Rachel! I’m with you there! I make sure to hit the new ones and then try to keep up…when i can.
And thanks guys!
Congrats!!
awesome on the 300!
300 wahooo!!! Congrats :D
Congrats, Sil!
Cold Brew! wheee! So i have not one…not two but FIVE travel type mug things of tea on my desk at the moment. It’s great! Cold brewed this one last night to see how I like it. Only downside? It needs a bit of sweetner as a cold brew so i’ll have to go “borrow” some honey or something from downstairs to finish it off. Good times though, having fun cold brewing things :)
Cod brewed this for fun. Tastes about the same as hot brewed. Overall, not a favourite of mine but I don’t hate it :) just having fun cold brewing things lately.
Sipdown! YAY mostly because my Verdant order arrived today and I still have an incoming Butiki Order. So at least that’s one more tea package that I can say is gone…though there will likely be a re-order of this one in the future lol. As always really enjoying the delicate raspbery/chocolate balance stacy managed to achieve here. so tasty! Really looking forward to how she manages to craft the new blend from whomever wins the contest!
How do you drink teas down so fast?! I can never get through them :/
I guess 3 months is fast lol. I focus on things when they get close to the bottom. Right now I have 10? That I’m focusing on ish…. So I try to have at least 1 a day of that smaller group. Tough keep in mind my ONE entry is equivalent to 2-3 cups. I fill travels mugs full of things heh.
She just doesn’t have as much tea as us. :P I wish my stash was more organized so I could take a pic of it so people could see how overboard I’ve gone… hahahahahahahaha.
I just have more self control :p
soon as I get a few days off, at home, I am sorting through my stash and posting it! it’s odd, I have so many teas and yet I’ve only made a few orders…
in the meantime, I can only handle two at a time. People at my office just don’t understand! bah!
though currently I am drinking a big pitcher and tea from two mugs. plus my water :P
uh.. i have a water bottle… a cold brew in the glass tumbler, two travel mugs with different tea and my matcha smoothie bottle lol
It is more subtle. I have a sister-in-law who is allergic to cinnamon and this is one Chai that she can drink. When I steeped it in milk with honey, the whole family loved it!
This one just wasn’t quite what I wanted it to be either. My plan is to mix in some Laoshan Black. I think that improved the flavour a lot last time.
