58

(58 = drinkable but probably wouldn’t buy again; doesn’t taste like the title.)

Bought this tea about 2 years ago. Very mild slightly “herby” flavor. (Presumably the tulsi? It reminds me a bit of verbena.) Apple/pear taste is not really noticeable even after leaving the bag in for a long time.

Travel Notes: Tea bags in sealed foil packets. Because it’s so mild it would probably be fine with long brewing (e.g. in a travel thermos).

Recommended for: Those who like mild non-bitter herb tea, not recommended if you’re looking for something fruity.

Flavors: Herbs

Preparation

(FYI: If I have a low numerical rating + “Would recommend” it means it’s a good quality tea but has something I personally don’t like. It’s not you, it’s me.)

Smaller and less deadly than its sister Chimera (“kai-mera”), the Chai-mera makes mischief by over-brewing tea, burning unguarded leaves, and kidnapping small livestock. It is typically found in the backs of cupboard and sometimes under beds where, if not aggravated, it can serve as a delightful foot warmer.

TEA RATINGS: My version of Steepster’s emoticon rating:
90-100 :D = One of my all-time favorites / a cupboard staple.
75-90 :9 = Pretty tasty!
50-75 :) = Quality tea but not to my taste OR Might drink again if gifted.
25-50 :/ = Ranges from drinkable to decent. (Wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but might finish what I have.)
01-25 XP = Down the drain with ye!

SEARCHING FOR: a good herbal or noncaf (no hibiscus, please).

I sometimes include a TRAVEL NOTES section about whether a tea stands up to rugged use (won’t overbrew in a thermos, can make a decent cup with hot tap water, etc).
