drank Is It Autumn Yet? by 52teas
768 tasting notes

I got my latest order from 52Teas. I know, I know, I wasn’t going to order any more tea, but when there are so many yummy teas available it is hard to resist! This one was the sample included in my small order so I decided to open it first.

Holy wow! This is one tasty fruit and spice tea. I have a little bit of my sense of smell. Not enough. it better get stronger. But there is enough that when I opened the pouch I was able to catch a bit of a heavenly aroma. it really, really does smell like fall. Juicy apple and pear, with warm spices. The leaf is beautiful. Lots and lots of cardamom and juniper berries. It brews up dark and rich. When it was still pretty warm the apple was in the forefront. As it cooled, the spices took center stage. I am so glad I was sent this as a sample. I don’t believe I’ve had a 52Tea that I didn’t like, but this one goes beyond like. It is exactly what a warm autumn tea should be.

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.
