KeenTeaThyme drank Rainbow Sherbet by 52teas

576 tasting notes

I have no idea how come I haven’t tried this yet… I just noticed the pouch sitting there, looking all alone, in my tea cabinet at home so I grabbed it to take to work today. (Yes, stuck at work today. Boo)

The medley of these flavors – lime, orange, raspberry – is outstanding! Of course we all expect no less from the wonderful Frank @52teas. But I will say this is my second favorite, falling to second place only Pancake Breakfast.

I added some sweetener to it (Sun Crystals) which really brings out the sweetness in the fruit flavors. I think I have have subconsciously worried that the Sherbet flavors wouldn’t taste good hot, but how wrong that perspective is! This is amazing. :)

I bet this would be delicious iced as well… Oh, and a final note, I’m letting it steep for the length of the cup, which is making the flavors stand out extremely well.

Frank, how do you do it?! :)

Bio

Hello fellow tea fans!
I’ve been a tea enthusiast for years but just recently started brewing my own. I’ve created some blends, and enjoy researching about new teas. I combined my love of tea and writing to create a tea-devoted blog, Keen Tea Thyme. I have been writing for most of my life and am a former journalist with a degree in Communications and Social Psychology, and a minor in Writing. Journalism is in my blood, so that means I’m inquisitive by nature, will double-check sources and/or get a second opinion as needed, but also fair and balanced in my reviews. If my reviews seem more positive, energetic and have high ratings, it’s because I love tea. :)

If you are a tea company, I’d love to review some your tea! Free samples are always welcome so I can fully enjoy the freshest selections. I’m also open to tea swaps as I always have too many teas on hand to drink & would love to share with other tea enthusiasts! :)

My Simple Rating Scale (as of Feb. 2011)
>50: I’m NOT a fan. I could barely finish the cup, if I even did. I wouldn’t even recommend this to my worst enemy. Not worth my time nor yours.

51-65: Good aroma, good flavor. Just nothing pops to give the tea that special kick. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

66-79: Yes, finally, tea – unique flavor profiles, great aroma & flavor. Recommended to try; our tasting palates differ.

80-99: These are cupboard essentials – delicious, aromatic and perfect everyday teas. Re-steepable (beyond at least one steeping). Highly recommended, fun for all ages.

100: These are my favorites, the ones I would take with me if stranded on a desert island. Beyond Highly Recommended.
