4183 tasting notes

For some reason, I assumed this one would have chili pepper in it. I’m not really sure how this one is “spicier”. It looks like a lot of black tea to just a few spices – or the usual amount of spices. BUT it is a tasty chai, as 52Teas usually are for me. I can always rely on the chai! Whoa was it a string of really hot days, but this chai was still delicious. The black tea used as a base is tasty enough – and it has the usual spicy flavor, maybe slightly more peppery. In a few weeks there will be an avalanche of chai sipped (one of the highlights to winter weather I suppose.)

The batch I had was really peppery, kind of overwhelmingly so even for a spiced tea since it blocked out the other spices. Unfortunately, I finished it months ago…

I noticed that the pepper flavor comes out more when you make it stove top verse just in the pot.

Oh yes – I brewed this stove top.

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!
