Maddy Barone drank Chocolate, Hazelnut & Strawberry Honeybush by 52teas

768 tasting notes

Another of the 12 Teas of Christmas. I absolutely adore it! I’m a big fan of honeybush. Well, maybe just the honeybush from 52Teas. This one reminds me a bit of their Neapolitan Honeybush, with the strawberry and the chocolate, but not quite the same, because of the hazelnut. The hazelnut is subtle for me. I get a nice, smooth chocolate first, followed by the sweet zing of strawberry, and only a hint of the hazelnut at the end of the sip. Just a luscious cup of chocolaty goodness here. Smooth, subtly sweet and delicious.

Flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 7 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 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.
