1809 Tasting Notes

65

I’ve been wanting to try this tea for awhile, but it always seemed to be sold out. I placed an August Uncommon order for a Christmas present, and this was back in stock. Of course I had to grab a sample bag for myself to try. This has a rich, dark, molasses flavor, and no trace of rooibos for me. It’s has a very distinct squash flavor, but isn’t starchy. I definitely would’ve loved to sip on this mid-October.

On a recent trip to Georgia, we stopped at a farm that sold turnovers and pies. Blackberry has always been one of my favorite flavors, so we opted for a blackberry turnover. It was more like a donut stuffed with fresh blackberry compote, and was served with vanilla ice cream. Absolutely decadent and wonderful. This tastes just like that! It has a jammy blackberry flavor, with a bit of cinnamon. The pastry note is distinct as well. I absolutely loved this tea.

Flavors: Blackberry, Cinnamon, Pastries

Advent day 21! I also received this as a sample in my DF order with my advent, so tried this a few weeks ago. I’m lowering my rating, as I’m finding it has an odd mustard note?

I brewed up a huge pot of this at work and drank it throughout the day. It is so good! Tastes like an almond pastry with candied orange topping, and has a rich raisiny fragrance. I will absolutely be purchasing more of this one.

Flavors: Almond, Orange, Raisins

I’m definitely getting the chocolate, strawberry, and hazelnut pretty distinctly, which is impressive. I just don’t think the combination is for me. The nuttiness seems to be combating with the chocolate, and the strawberry is just a whisper in the background.

This really does taste like an Eggo waffle! It’s a nice balance of maple syrup, cinnamon, and waffley goodness. I added a bit of brown sugar, and it was quite a treat this morning.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Maple Syrup

Mmmmmm. I’ve had quite a few cups of this over theist few days. A bit of sugar really makes this pop. I love the mini marshmallows and the crushed candy cane pieces. It’s so festive looking, and tastes creamy and wonderful.

Flavors: Creamy, Marshmallow, Peppermint

Advent day 20! Pretty underwhelmed by this tea. So much citrus in the DF advent. Pretty standard lemon black tea.
