drank Double Bergamot Earl Grey by Stash Tea

Lots of bergamot flavour, but I don’t notice much in the way of citrus. This tea can be re-steeped again without losing all its bergamot flavour, but the second cup isn’t quite as strong as the first.

Flavors: Bergamot, Earl Grey, Tannin

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 350 ML

This earl grey is ok, but nothing special. The bergamont flavour is medium intensity but lessens with each re-steep.

Flavors: Bergamot, Earl Grey, Earth, Tannin

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

drank Christmas Morning by Stash Tea

Even though this tea has quite a few interesting tasting notes (vanilla, minty, sweet, spices) it isn’t something I would consider amazing. It was ok, but I wouldn’t buy it again. It also loses most of its undertones when it is re-steeped. The second cup just tastes like a generic black tea.

Flavors: Malt, Milk, Mint, Spices

There is a bit of sweetness to this tea, however it gets very acidic if left too long. It makes an excellent tea when you are sick and is also very nice iced. I recommend adding a bit of sweetener.

drank Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea by Stash Tea

This tea is good for when you are sick, but it is a bit acidic so avoid it when you have a raw throat. I usually add a bit of sweetener when make it hot or cold. Avoid letting it steep more than four minutes because the sour gets overpowering and the ginger is spicy.

Flavors: Ginger, Lemon, Lemon Zest, Sour, Spicy, Tart

Preparation

drank Moroccan Mint by Stash Tea

Very minty, you can’t taste the green tea at all. Overall it is fairly plain. It is good hot but I like making it in a pitcher with lemon wedges and a bit of honey.

Flavors: Menthol, Mint, Peppermint

Preparation

drank Christmas Eve [duplicate] by Stash Tea
2957 tasting notes

This is one of my all time favourite teas. It can be re-steeped again but I wouldn’t do more than 2-3 steeps total. It is fantastic with milk or iced with a bit of honey. I highly recommend this tea before bed, too. The cinnamon, spearrmint, and peppermint combine so nicely it is super soothing. I also make this tea when I have a difficult day ahead or if I feel stressed because it is so relaxing.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Medicinal, Menthol, Mint, Nectar, Nut Fruits, Orange Zest, Peppermint, Spearmint
