drank White Chocolate Moon by SpecialTeas
1759 tasting notes

This is delicious! wow.
White chocolate is not something I normally go for. It’s usually like whole butter slices on my tongue. Waxy and flavourless, bleh!
But this… is decadent. Luxurious. Oh so creamy smooth! and it sets of no alarm bells either! yahoo!!
That was the first steep though. Apparently this white… well, she’s a one steep stand.
It was ok when hot, but as it cooled I got a strange sort of fake white chocolate flavour that mixed oddly with the tea notes. It was okay, more what I expected the first steep to be.
Overall though, I quite like this. It’d be great for getting rid of a chocolate craving…

SpecialTeas is no more. So, just out of curiosity, where did you get this tea?

It was a sample from Jessie :)
How very astute of you SimpliciTea!

I know what you mean about white chocolate tasting like butter…or sweet plastic or sweet wax…bleh as you say. It’s a wonder that someone could get it right. Suspending a creamy frosting feel that is smooth like chocolate in a tea would be a miracle! Would like to check this out myself!

Bonnie: even the best white chocolate can taste terrible, for me. If you ever get yer hands on some, go for it!! too bad SpecialTeas is down for the count. I’d love a nice tin of this one, and probably many of their other blends to… *sighs

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
