Maddy Barone drank Strawberry Sundae by 52teas

768 tasting notes

My 52Teas order came! And it came fast!

I ordered four teas and I had a hard time deciding which one to try tonight. I settled on this one because it sounded yummy and it was caffeine free. AAAND..!!! I have a teeny bit of my sense of smell back so I could smell it! I can’t tell you how amazing it is to smell my tea. Why they can’t find a cure for AERD I don’t know. At least the steroid shot helps for a few week a year.

Anyway. The tea. Yes. When I opened the pouch the strawberry scent was prominent, with a creaminess very like ice cream (oh! That’s something else I need to taste soon!) It brewed up not quite so dark as some honeybush teas. The brewed scent was fainter, but still present. The tea was creamy and sweet, with a teeny bit of tang from the strawberry. I am obviously not an expert on taste, but I thought the taste here was delightfully like ice cream and strawberries.

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.
