Top 10 Favorite Teas from 52Teas?
There are a lot of really good suggestions so far.
Since I will hopefully be submitting the Kickstarter campaign sometime in the late afternoon tomorrow, I will need to get everyone’s thoughts (who wish to offer their thoughts) on this by noon-ish tomorrow (Pacific Time) so that I can finish up the Kickstarter and get it submitted.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted their ideas so far!
Rice Crispy Treat – must have! Strawberry was good too. I enjoyed all the marshmallow ones I tried.
That one with the Cat on it – Sun Cloud Mist
Pu’er Dreamsicle – yesss, I love this one!
French Toast – Very good, better than pancake IMO.
Graveyard Mist
Ones I personally liked but weren’t that high rated by others
Smore Genmaicha
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
I might actually still have some of the pu-erh dreamsicle left, if you want it. PM me and I’ll send it your way.
I think there were some bad batches of the S’mores and PB Cup Cheesecake, so that might be why the ratings are low. I believe I have both, and both are in the “dispose of” pile because they are not good, and I was never offered anything in return despite pointing that out. (Same with Browncoat Genmaicha and Chocolate Malt HB reblend).
I absolutely LOVED the coconut cream pie. Also, the original Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush was fantastic, and one of my favorites, however the reblend was barely drinkable. I’ve heard people talk about the reblends not being as good as the original. I’m not sure why that is, but I’ve noticed it too.
The French Toast/Pancake/Cinnamon Roll blends were great!
Also, I personally loved some of the rooibos blends (Sheri’s blend and the Date/Nut rooibos), but I know that rooibos is not generally liked.
Lastly, and I’m sure you’ll agree: ANYTHING WITH CHOCOLATE :)
YEAH, a Date Nut Muffin Rooibos fan. :D I wouldn’t mind a different base for that one. Oolong sounds good.
Personal Favourites:
- Pineapple Bacon Rooibos
- Razzleberry Genmaicha
- Cucumber Mango Shou Mei
- Napalm Ferret
- Pineapple Angel Food Cake Shou Mei
- Dreamscicle Pu’Erh
- Fruit Hoops English Breakfast
I also never got to try Peaches & Cream Genmaicha, and I definitely wanted to!
Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha, but really any of the genmaichas if you can avoid them tasting chlorinated. That was my biggest problem with pretty much all of them that I’ve bought/tried in the last… year and a half? (My original Marshmallow Treat was to die for.)
Also Maple Cheesecake TKY, Sun & Cloud Mist, Cashew Turtle (mmmmmmm), Mango Ice Cream, Boo Berry Cotton Candy, Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake, Mayan Chocolate Chai, French Vanilla Assam, Ginger Ale Bai Mu Dan.
On the subject of Genmaicha – I plan on using a Genmaicha that’s been dusted with Matcha, it’s just better and I’m certain that’s why I loved the original Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha so much more than I’ve enjoyed any of the later Genmaicha blends is because it was originally crafted with an Uji Genmaicha.
I second this, some of the flavoured Genmaicha blends were delicious. My favourite must have been Peanutbutter Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha.
The Genmaicha blend you mentioned sounds nice :)
I’m just posting as someone who hasn’t tried the tea, so maybe disregard, but I reallllly want some of the cherry cola, which I’ve heard is really good, and I live cola flavored things and most of the time they’re done so poorly.
Before I head off to bed … I wanted to also ask for an opinion: French Toast vs. Pancake Breakfast …
Please respond below this comment so that I can gauge the votes on this because I’ll only be reblending one of these two for the reblend incentive.
Pancake breakfast and Walter Bishop honeybush.
Original version Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish. The reblend was too bitter.
There was also a lemon guayusa blend that my husband adored. I can’t remember what it was called though! EDIT: Lemolicious Guayusa.
OOOOHH! Merry Berry….something. Merry Berry Melody? I loved that one. EDIT: Very Merry Berry Medley.
I guess it all comes down to the base tea for me though. Once you’ve picked it, will you spill the beans about what it is? I tend to avoid assams but if it is blended with some Chinese teas I might like it. I’m a fusspot.
Piledriver Guayusa maybe? I loved that one, but it was more of a citrus medley than just lemon.
