Movie Night

I don’t know if this is more of a review of this tea or a rave review of my timolino. I brewed this up at eight am yesterday, sealed it in the timilino and forgot about it. When I finally got to it at seven pm it was still warm. Not piping hot, but warm and definitely drinkable. I don’t love to brew in the timolino, but it does great things with my brewed up teas I seal in there.

As for the tea, apple-y goodness as always. I love the touch of popcorn and the green tea peaking through. A fun tea with a unique taste!

Having another cup of this so-called tea (seriously cannot see any tea leaves) and I seem to be liking it taste-wise less and less. Perhaps the novelty has worn off.

Thank you to Bonnie for this sample

This tea smelled wonderful dry, but when it was brewed….A muddled mess of complicated and uninteresting flavors. Not My “Cup Of Tea” I guess ;)

I’m almost at the very end of the bag. And I only just tried this iced! It’s really good iced! Now I’m sad I didn’t get more in the order that’s its way to me. Still nice and apply, with hints of caramely goodness and popcorn. Very tasty.

The tea has bits of popcorn inside and it smells like caramel popcorn! My apologies to the tea purists but I always add a little bit of sugar because it makes the flavors pop. It tastes a lot like it smells, with fruity undertones and the rich smell of just popped popcorn.

This is going on my to-buy list! Thank you to Ali for sending this delicious sample!

Backlogging… I just love this tea! I’m so glad that David’s Tea has made it a permanent part of their tea selection.

Seeing this tea name and description, I was a bit suspicious… steeping popcorn, really? Popcorn flavour in a tea, do I really want that?

Then I smelled it in store, and loved the smell. Though I couldn’t recognize it right away, I did when smelling it again after getting back home: it smells like Cracker Jacks! Which I guess makes sense. However, I was still unsure about steeping popcorn…

Drinking it now, all doubts have gone! It is really quite delicious, a bit of a treat (like Cracker Jacks, really, caramel included). It does taste as it smells, as another reviewer said, which is sort of sweet – don’t worry, no salt. The popcorn taste is also there, and surprisingly (to me, anyway), it does work! As the aforementioned reviewer also said, the green tea taste gets lost, which is not surprising, since I could barely find any tea leaves in all I put to infuse (maybe 4-5 in total for 4 cups). As for the apples, they do add a nice touch. Overall, the mix of ingredients blends well together and it makes for a nice “dessert” tea, which I’ll be happy to have once in a while.

Ok, so there are a lot of things I really liked about this tea. There is apple, sencha, popcorn(smels like caramel corn), maple….Needless to say I love the ingredients, the way it smells dry, even the way it smells when steeped. The only thing I dont really love about this tea is………the taste, or lack there of.

I was so excited to try this tea. Flavored teas rarely excite me, but everything about this got me excited. I have tried steeping it for longer, shorter, different temps. Tried adding more tea than recommended, but alas I don’t find that this tea has much memorable flavor. Kind of a weak garbled mess of flavors. I wanted so bad to like it. Based on smell I would give it a rating in the mid 90’s. It actually saddens me that I don’t like it more. However I have noticed some other low ratings for similar reasons. However it does make me want to try more flavored teas. So I guess some good came out of this purchase.

The first time I made this tea, it was heaven. HEAVEN!
When I made it this morning though, I apparently did something wrong :( Very sad.
If I can figure it out it might be my favourite tea ever. I find green teas finicking.. however, there is hardly any in the tin! All popcorn! Luckily I love popcorn.
All this to say, it tastes as good as it smells and I want to eat it. Be sure to steep it the full time, that seems to make a huge difference.
If you like caramel apples or caramal popcorn, this is the tea for you (without all those nasty calories!)

A very interesting tea to say the least. I love the sweet caramel popcorn flavor mixed with the apple and maple but I agree that the tea itself is a bit underwhelming in the flavor department. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this tea and would recommend it to any lover of movies, popcorn or both! It is at least worth a try and please don’t let the light flavor scare you away as you can just add more tea to bolster the flavor or steep a tad bit longer. This seemed to do the trick for me. Sweet and satisfying!
