drank Peach Bellini by Tickled Tea
6444 tasting notes

Roswell Strange had success with this tea and it inspired me to give it a try. However, this is a weird one. Peach Bellinis were my go-to beverage when I was old enough to drink and I can say that none of them I tried had the spices that this tea does, or any spices at all for that matter. For RS, the spices were subtle but in my cup they are the strongest flavor whereas the peach is sorta in the background. This is drinkable but not my favorite. At least it doesn’t taste like cheese.

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
