15061 Tasting Notes
I’ve had this one a few times now without writing a note. I picked this as my morning tea since i have a bit of time this morning before work gets a little crazy. I also desperately need to get through more of my puerh since my cupboard is back over 100. sigh I’m a fan of this one…if i had any sort of set up for storing puerh, i’d likely pick up a cake/box of this one. It’s very smooth and has creamy mushroom and brown sugar notes in it. I’ve only done a couple steepings but there’s no fermentation flavours here to throw things off and it’s just an overall good time. yum.
i can’t get excited about this tea. It’s not “bad” persay, but i don’t love it and there’s something in the taste that makes me not ever want to pick it. I tried it gonfu today to see if that made it a better option for me and while it smoothed some of the taste out, it’s still not what i want.
Open to adding this to swaps or sending it on to someone who will love it.
MINE! finally i have some to try and it was worth it :) I REALLY enjoyed this take on vanilla and malty and delicious and YAY! mine. :)
Final Count: 126
OMG how did I not know there was a Black Orchid tea? It’s only the name of one of the weirdest Doctor Who stories to come out of the 80s. I may well need to get some just based on that…
it’s a different sort of vanilla imo. still a vanilla tea but not like the other 10000 of vanilla blacks that i’ve had
It sounds groovy. Just give me ALL THE VANILLA THINGS IN EVERY POSSIBLE VARIATION THEREUPON :p
Sounds delicious. Is this one you picked up when you were in Europe?
Mmmm! Sounds so good
aye – pretty much everything these days is from my adventures. I wrapped up miss B’s teas the other day
yay for your euro-adventure :)
Need to see if i can find the ingredient list again for this one…long story short when i had this a couple days ago, it reminded me something fierce of another tea. I just can’t figure out what tea it is. Also, the flavouring was a little calm/wimpy for me, so we’ll see more when i can actually drink this and not wait a few days to review. sigh
Interesting.
I wish I could work from home today so I could drink all the teas. Sadly, I can’t do the science from home.
i’m trying to get through as many things that i haven’t tried today heh
Monday’s a holiday which I was really excited about (time to stay home and sew and drink tea!) but I’ll have to work as all my experiments have a 5-day spread. Thursday, Friday and Monday, or Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
yeah i’m on a release this weekend..so saturday overnight for me..but then i have sun and mon :)
