865 Tasting Notes
The usual. 1TB steeped in 8oz water, add 8oz Fat Free Smart Balance Milk. I’ve offically reached my goal liquid intake of 80oz once I finish this. Although I think I should have drank a little faster today. I have a feeling I’ll be getting up tonite.
Preparation
Final 22oz of this tea for the day. I finished the last bottle w/ a corn tortilla pizza w/ taco sauce, green olives, pineapple, and home made salsa. I started this bottle w/ 2 containers of vanilla Fiber One yogurt. The latter is the better of the pairings by far. This would make an AMAZING frozen yogurt! Or maybe just a honey flavored black tea w/ fresh strawberries in the frozen yogurt.
Preparation
CLEARANCE BOX 1/20
FInally drank (am drinking) this today. Decided to take it w/ me to Prayer + Share this morning. 4/7 people tried it and about half the gallon is gone- but I took about 18oz myself. Everyone that tried it liked it and said sweetener was not needed. The strawberry and black tea are strong and the honey lends a hint of floral sweetness. I’m not a black tea person, but for what it is, it’s very good!
Preparation
This sounds like an excellent substitute for the raspberry honey you wanted to try!
Not really, I much prefer raspbery. But as I said, for what it is, it’s pretty darn good.
OK, I’m hooked. I’m building a shopping cart at Zoomdweebie’s as we speak! This sounds delish!
If you like strawberry it is- buy their cream cheese black too. I think it’d make a good blend!:)
Oh thats too bad then… I prefer strawberry – haha.
Actually I really prefer blackberry, but not sure I’d like it mixed w/ honey… oooh… blackberry chocolate cheese cake!
I have had very few blackberry flavored things but that sounds delicious
I have Adagio’s blackberry tea here. I should break into that one next.
CLEARANCE BOX 1/20
Haven’t actually drank this, but I just made a gallon for tomorrow. I should have it about half gone 24 hours from now.
7TB plus 1tsp tea
8oz just below boiling water
120oz cold (refrigerated) water
The smell of the leaf is definitely of a strong strawberry, light black tea base, and even lighter (but still there) honey. Then again, I’ve never smelled honey lol.
WHOA! Was this concentrate DARK!!! I rarely make black tea and have never made such a strong concentrate so this knocked my socks off. Very dark, Very red. Aroma is just like the raw leaf. I’m almost temped to try it, but not quite that brave.
The tea is a MUCH lighter reddish brown. I can’t wait to try it tomorrow!:)
Preparation
Last bottle of Anteadote. And yes THIS HAS BAKING SODA IN IT too! The flavor is more substantial than the green, but has many of the same qualities which makes me wonder if it’s a green oolong or pouchong. There’s also a slight floral aspect to it. These two factors make that weird baking soda/vitamin c taste the least noticable of all the flavors, but it’s still there. I’ll drink the entire bottle. I’ll never buy, or even drink, this again due to the baking soda… but if they’d take it out, this is probably the only one I’d drink if offered- maybe the jasmine… but I won’t buy any of them again.
Preparation
Why is there baking soda in there?!!?
They say to get rid of the acidity… but I have no flippin clue. Adagio is crazy.
yeah – it’s apparently the “secret ingredient” in a lot of Southern Style Sweet tea, to smooth out the black tea tannins. Shouldn’t be necessary unless your tea is overbrewed, IMHO.
WHAT?! Yet another reason I will never drink SSST. But this isn’t SSST so what’s their excuse? lol
i grew up on SSST so i guess but i never had anyone tell me they use baking soda in their SSST that is wild i guess it could be in other southern states shrugs i know i love baking soda for a lot of useful things but not in my tea XD
In honor of Caitlin’s bday, I decided to have something special w/ breakfast:
1TB tea
8oz water
8oz Fat Free Smart Balance HeartRight Milk
4TB instant double mocha cappuccino mix
2 TB caramel coffee creamer
Yummm! Rich. Sinful. Lucious. Chocolatey. Caramely. Sweet. And just a bit spicy. Perfect! I can rationalize this w/ the fact that my breakfast was 3/4 cup Fiber Plus cereal, right? And P.S. contrary to how it sounds, the cereal is really good!
Preparation
THERE’S BAKING SODA IN THIS! (bare with me, only one more acclaimation to deal with lol). It just says “Jasmine Tea”- doesn’t say what the base is. That bothers me.
The jasmine is VERY strong and the combo of that w/ the vitamin C and baking soda gives it a bitter tastes. Unfortunately the jasmine doesn’t cover the bitter, weird, icky taste, but at least it helps distract me. It’s the worst jasmine tea I’ve had, but since all other jasmines I’ve had have been really good thus far, that really isn’t saying much. But at least I was able to finish (albeit not overly enjoy) the entire bottle. Will never buy again. Adagio’s “best” RTD tea which is really scary.
