64 Tasting Notes
Another old school one for me. (and yes it was the box art that conned me into this one).
But it is a good tea, and as I recall quite lemoney to me.
And despite this being something that tastes of highschool nostalgia to me, I am
actually pining for a cup at the moment….b/c if I thought that time frame of my life
was tension-filled. Well, lets just say it needs mega taming now.
Actually a bit disappointed about this one.
No amazing smell, and kinda limp on flavor.
Is it the green tea thats just over mellowed the mango?
Not a bad one, but its more a whispering of mango not the shout of the name.
And none of that smack in the face with a mango you know you had been expecting.
Peach-tacular!
But I admit its not just straight peach. Its almost peach perfume with a sweet undercurrent that I couldn’t quite place (but the notes list chamomile and blackerry leaf). But this doesn’t take away from the sweet flavors. Only that perhaps this is slightly like an artistic representation of a peach, not one smooshed into a teabag.
In the height of our dizzying tea madness at my previous job, L. brought in a number of fabulous tisanes from Whittards of Chelsea. They were truly a fab array and I did look forward to trying them all…but first I went for the almond fix. And well, I was doomed b/c ever after I went to try another and I couldn’t help but just have more of the Amaretto Explosion. Its that good. Addicting! Beware you might find yourself selling off your kids and pets to keep this one in stock. :P
This was my go to when CS discontinued Strawberry Fields.
Respectable in its own right, but toss in some taste of the islands (coconut/pineapple) and I ended up finding myself addicted to a whole different tea (even if I still have a soft spot for Strawberry Fields) :P
Oh my!
Uber strong…so much so you can get 2 cups out of a tea bag (whistles innocently).
Still how can you argue when its chai and it has caramel in it? Can’t say I really appreciated the chocolate but lovely nonetheless. And, uhm, maybe we accidently drank the box empty in a week. (oops)
My encounter with almond sunset was a fluke. After raspberry chocolate bliss left me in highschool (taking english toffee and vanilla hazelnut, its sisters in afterdinner tea happiness, with it), I would from time to time try another. I admit selection was made mostly on CS artwork (there I’ve said it).
Almond sunset didn’t win me over that way. Its art was kinda boring. But I gave it a go, and OMGosh it rocked. With milk (like most teas I fancy these days), it was sweet almond amazingness. Even if that equates it with cyanide,….well, I was prepared to go. :)
