772 Tasting Notes
Thanks to Lariel for this sample.
This is pretty good, although I’m not at all getting the berry flavours, neither blueberry nor raspberry, that I had expected. This mostly tastes like an Earl Grey to me, with some extra citrus thrown in there, likely from the orange peels. It’s very fresh tasting. I don’t even like Earl Greys that much normally.
I did oversteep this a bit so that might be where the berries went.
Preparation
Thanks to Lariel for this sample. Just enough for one cup of tea.
And apparently I totally missed my 300th tasting note because this one is #307. Oh well.
I didn’t particularly enjoy the smell of this tea so I didn’t have very high hopes for it, despite all the good reviews. However, upon tasting it (while it was cooled off, I didn’t drink any while it was warm), it’s quite tasty and very burnt-caramel. I’m not sure I pick up on any salt though. I’ve never really had a ‘salty’ tea so I’m not sure what to look for besides the obvious in this.
Preparation
Very berry. I don’t know if this is better to me than the generic berry one or not. I’ll have to try them both tomorrow and compare.
