I have been doing a rapid sipdown of ‘the tea girl’ sample tins this week. Taking 4 hour online lectures has proven to be a great motivator to cruise through some quick accesible tea (ie tea samplers). I drink out of fairly large mugs or like my tea stronger so i just put an entire tea tin (about a table spoon in size) in my steeping basket. So far I think I have drank a half of the tea girl samples I have received. Hoping to polish the rest off next week.
Prep: Western
Tasting note: I think my tea was a little muddled, I got a bit of rooibos, but the cranberry and other “foresty” flavors were faint. This tea didn’t stand out as much as I thought it would in the flavor department.
This immediately seems like one of those cases where I had an idea of what I wanted this tea to taste like and it just wasn’t quite that. However, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad tea – far from it. It does mean however that I will need to taste again with a more open mind to really decide how I feel about the blend as a whole. What I wanted when I picked out this juniper blend was the strong woodsy and pine notes of the juniper which I imaged would play very well with a rooibos tea base. Instead it’s got a pretty distinct red fruit/cranberry sort of taste. I like cranberry teas, I just wasn’t expecting that to be so forward…
