drank Pu-erh Vanilla Mint by Zen Tea

Additional notes: An unexpected sample sipdown on this one! I will MISS this one. It is so nice. I love the minty creaminess on the lovely pu-erh. I’m definitely buying this one whenever I order from Zen (a looonng time from now, probably) and they better still have it in stock! One of their best blends, I think.

I was so surprised to like this one, cause I pretty much dislike all flavoured teas I have tried from them, but this one is spectacular, I drank all of my sample but will reorder.

I have a sample size of this – I really should try it today.

This is such a good tea! I don’t know if I’ve even written a note on it yet, but I’ve drank almost my whole package as well!

What a strange combination of flavors! I am trying to imagine how they would taste and my brain can’t figure it out. Gotta add to my wishlist!

TheTeaFairy

Amanda, the combination it’s so subtle and natural, that’s why I like it. You know when sometimes puerh have that fresh ending to the taste? That’s what the mint does, it enhances that. The vanilla for me is not really noticeable, and I think it’s a good thing.

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!
