Maddy Barone drank Cranberry Pear Tart with Brandy Cream by A Quarter to Tea

768 tasting notes

This is the second of the teas I received today from A Quarter To Tea. I believe it was Roswell Strange who had written a note on it and made me decide to order some myself.

Thank you, Ms. Strange!

The old sniffer isn’t working very well tonight, but I by golly swear I could feel the warmth of brandy on back of my throat. This tea (should I call it tea when it is rooibos?) is very smooth, a bit sweet all on it’s own, and totally delightful. I’ve been having such fun drinking my flavored teas lately that my old standbys like North Winds are being neglected. But it’s nearly bedtime, so I don’t want caffeine. The flavored rooibos and honeybush parade will continue.

Flavors: Brandy, Sweet

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 6 min, 0 sec 1 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
