Should we enter the teas on the site, so we can start doing our tasting notes?
I already put up a couple, feel free to enter the rest.
I received mine today, thanks!
So the post office was a day late? Priority mail is supposed to be two days. I hate it when it takes three.
No worries. It was well packaged and in great condition when I opened it.
Got mine on Monday and have tried two of the teas already – Andean Princess and Mist Forest. The black tea, Andean Princess, steeped a malty tea with a light berry fruit aftertaste. The Mist Forest steeped a mild nutty, green veggie flavor. Not much of any fruit flavor from the added pear guava or soursop though.
Brewed both English style, Andean Princess 1.5 tsp/8oz. 3min. 212F and Mist Forest 2 tsp/16oz 3 min 190F
Alan, thanks again for putting this group together. It is exciting to taste the teas grown and harvested in different soils from around the world.
Has everyone except for the one person I know about got their teas? They should all have arrived by now.
I’ve really enjoyed the green tea so far. The added flavors don’t come through for me, but the taste of the tea itself is so nice it doesn’t matter to me. I’m using 6g to about 8 oz, steeping for a minute. Very nutty, greens and edamame. Full bodied.
I have to agree regarding the weak added flavors for the two green teas. The base is pleasant, but the fruit just doesn’t pop. Perhaps this is why retailers don’t carry these two flavors.
I actually thought that was just me.
Received my tea at the beginning of the week and it was a pleasure to sit down with Cacao Kisses while finishing up finals. It’s so creamy!
It’s probably way too early for another group buy, but I just wanted to bump this topic up because it looks like they’ve added quite a few more flavors.
That “Coffee Kisses” really has me intrigued since Cocoa Kisses is really good.
In theory another group buy could happen with all different teas. You are right they have added a lot more.
Yeah I was talking to them at the world tea expo. They are expanding their processing this year.
Hey I’d certainly be down if another one was organized. Shame you can’t buy them anywhere besides wholesale :(
I’d be up for another order. :)
Is anyone interested in another group buy of Bitaco teas? I tried some and am craving more but want to buy at wholesale prices.
