Popular Tasting Notes
Another new tea from my order! Yay! I love having new things to try.
After reading the reviews for this tea, I was expecting something with a lot more fruitiness. I steeped about 1.5 tsp of the dry leaf in my new Perfect Mug and took a sip. A hint of spicy. Definitely a seasoned tea. Skimpy on the fruit taste – there was barely any in either of my steeps despite the presence of a pineapple chunk in my infuser.
I like this one, but it really didn’t live up to my expectations. Not a bad caffeine free option for before bedtime. Maybe I’ll up the amount of leaves I use next time and see how it works out.
Preparation
This is one of those cases where I suspect the tea is just fine, but not really my thing.
The fruit aroma is very strong and the fruit flavor appears to dominate the tea. It possibly doesn’t help that I am not a huge fan of stone fruits to begin with.
Also, for some very weird reason, the aroma of the tea as I go to take a sip makes me think its going to taste soapy. I have no idea as to why. It doesn’t taste soapy. Maybe I am associating it with one of those scented shower gels or something similar.
This may be an excellent tea for others, but its just not my thing.
