Popular Tasting Notes
This is my comfort tea and go-to tea. You know those days where you don’t want a flowery tea, a sweet tea, or a dessert-like tea? This is the one. I love the toasted rice and the popcorn, the nutty flavour is quite nice and comforting. It’s very light tasting, and goes down well. I like to drink this while I’m eating! Especially sushi, haha. All in all, a great basic tea. Sometimes simple is best.
(HOT) This guayusa tea has a strong scent and a promise for full flavor but sadly falls short after steeping leaving very little palate and weak cinnamon taste. will try brewing stronger next time with more tea.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Lemongrass
Preparation
Cold steeping this was a mistake. I did so the way I do most teas, and it was tasty enough…but I didn’t really get raspberry and honey. I got more of a fruity whisp with black tea taste. And no honey. Hm. Perhaps hot this is good, but I used up the sample cold steeping it because with fruity flavors it usually does great things…but not this time apparently.
Preparation
Sigh. I wanted to like you, really I did! You promised excitement and adventure, but it turned out that you have no personality. You’re weak and bland, and I just feel nothing for you. As tea goes, you don’t have a strong enough leaf to demonstrate any character, and as far as red velvet cake – I detect none of that sweetness. No chocolate, no cake, no creaminess. All I taste is a weak tea with some generically sweet artificial flavouring. So bummed.
Maybe I’ll try this tea again one day to find out if the stuff I got was just not a good representative, but I won’t pay for it unless it drastically changes my mind somehow.
Flavors: Sugar, Tea
The taste is sweet enough not to disappoint the expectations provided by the scent, which is just like the cocktail. This tea left a slight afterburn, but that may just have been because I left it to steep a bit longer than I’d intended, and ended up with a deep blood red brew. Overall, I liked it more than I expected.
Drank it last night with some friends and will have it iced this morning. Black pepper should be in more teas. Doesn’t have an overly powerful strawberry taste, but I love the black pepper-black tea combo. Wonder if I can just add black pepper to my normal black tea…
