Maddy Barone drank Bonfire Toffee by Bird & Blend Tea Co.

768 tasting notes

This was one of last week’s samples from the B&B advent calendar. I was really interested by the name. I have had a few smoky teas that I really enjoyed (Winter Cabin Chai by 52Teas, for one ) and I expected this to be like those. However, I didn’t really get the smokiness I expected. In fact, I didnt’ get much of anything. I bet if I had a sense of smell I would have picked up on the toffee and other scents and flavors. But I don’t, so I didn’t. All in all, a bit of a disappointment for me. Still glad I got to try it though.

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.
