drank Cherry White by Love is Tea (LIT)
107 tasting notes

I have not been a fan of white tea even though I knew it was the least processed and of finer leaves – mainly because I could not taste anything from it (someone help me train my tastebuds, please!)

Enter this cherry-flavored tea.

It tastes so natural. Like it’s really how white tea is meant to taste! Haha, I know that sounds weird but that’s how I feel about this tea :)

*I like it so much, I think I will offer this soon as finances allow

The first time I had it, I might not have followed the directions because I didn’t care for it so much. But my mom kept on asking me to prepare some, saying that it tasted good and so I made an effort to follow the directions this time.

The liquor is dark like a black tea’s.
The flavor is pleasant enough that my dad did not object to it. He is very particular to flavors.

The extra motivation for wanting this prepared: my mom’s friend has a friend who has cancer and I gave her a 2oz pouch of this. Later on we heard that her friend was wanting to get some more of it because it helped her to feel stronger. True story :)

drank Blackcurrant by Love is Tea (LIT)
107 tasting notes

I have to admit: the first time I had this, I brewed it beside the Blueberries and Cream.

And I kinda liked the creamy one better while they were warm. But cooled, I liked the tartness of the Blackcurrant more!

But like the BB&C, this I feel is better than the average tea in both aroma and flavor :)

Aroma: Attractive. I had a feeling this was gonna be a good one when I was just scooping out a sample for a swap.

Flavor: It did not disappoint! I like this and would buy it again before I run out of this.

I just want to say that my first EG Cream felt kinda weird like “Is this how it is supposed to taste?” but this one was….“Mmmmm, blueberries and cream!”

I think this is better taken while warm…tho it is still yummy after cooling down :)

What are the steeping parameters on this one?

yssah

the usual…3mins @212F for blacks. longer or shorter if you desire as this one doesnt get bitter easily, the only one with weird parameters is the gynostemma. of course greens and whites are usually marked at higher temperatures than usually recommended, and some blacks benefit from 208F more than 212F esp H&S (took me a while to figure that out)

Scent: not too apricotty but apricot enough to be called it :)
Flavor: stable. It does not fluctuate with the temperature.

Tried this at the same time as Mango #2. My initial evaluation for them is similar :)

drank Almond by Love is Tea (LIT)
107 tasting notes

Scent, dry: sweet like amaretto!
Flavor when warm: so-so
Flavor when cool: good!

Steeped it beside the Caramel
Warm, this tastes better/stronger than itself (cooled) and the Caramel (cooled).

No need to add sugar
Flavor is gone on the 2nd (or was it 3rd?) steep

drank Rootbeer by Love is Tea (LIT)
107 tasting notes

This tastes like rootbeer! Not too strong of a rootbeer but it is there :)

I feel that the flavor shines through better when it is warm.

Warm rootbeer. Who knew huh?

Will try steeping for a longer time next time or adding more tea leaves for my next brew :)

Tasted this side by side the Apricot #1

Chai was my first love, and later fell hard for Earl Grey. Will always have a soft spot in my heart for tisanes. It has been a while since I last joined and now I am more into matcha but still into other teas most definitely.

Swapped some teas here before with the LIT brand and had to change name to be registered and now selling loose leaf tea in the Philippines as Khesed :)
