4384 tasting notes

Another one I’m just now trying from Courtney! Thanks again! Two teaspoons after a few minutes steeping, and I really only get hibiscus flavored water. And very weak at that. Not like I’d rather have MORE hibiscus. The steep color is bubblegum pink. There was some other fruit, but not much to make a difference. Nice ingredients, just not enough to make a difference. Ah well, I’m willing to try any tea. I guess this is my least favorite from David’s. They get an E for effort though, since I like the list of ingredients.

A lot of people don’t like hibiscus. I haven’t sampled enough teas to be able to recognize it yet.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
