Popular Tasting Notes
The smell of the dry tea was overwhelmingly sweet, like a green oolong “creamy flowers” scent amped up. Oddly enough, the brewed tea almost has a fruity scent to it? Like strawberries?
My taste buds are out of whack at the moment so I’m not really able to pick up on much that way. I might want to give this a slightly longer steep next time.
Preparation
Wasn’t a fan of this tea initially when trying it in the setting of Starbucks but using my employee markout on it has so far been a good decision. There are two green teas that are served hot at work with one featuring mint and the other EC&M.
EC&M tastes like a green tea would but with a subtle sweetness in the aftertaste. It has a slightly chalky mouth-feel to it but not in an unpleasant way— almost like drinking liquid smoke. If you’re looking for a tea with very little frills, this would be a good option.Flavors: Grass, Green, Sweet, Warm Grass
Preparation
Thank you, KittyLovesTea, for a sample of this!
For some reason I never added this to my cupboard on Steepster. It looks like this tea was just recently added so perhaps that’s why.
I used the whole sample (approx. 3tsp) all at once for two mugs worth of tea (one for me, one for the hubs). Overall it had a nice smooth taste with no bitterness and bit of a mineral taste. I’m not very good with picking up on subtleties of oolong teas since I’m not an oolong drinker, but overall it was a nice tea to try out :).
