Courtney drank Maple by Tea Hippie

1373 tasting notes

I decided to order a very small handful of teas from a wee shop a somewhat short drive from us. The woman that runs the tea shop was lovely and let me know these teas were just blended yesterday.

This tea is nice. I was hoping for it to be a little more maple-forward, but the black base isn’t astringent at all. There’s a subtle maple at the end of the sip that lingers. The tea also has a subtle scent of buttery maple.

Preparation

Boiling 2 min, 30 sec 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

How special to have such a shop so close by! And hand-blended yesterday?? Swoon.

I am pretending I am not envious.

Being so near a tea shop might be dangerous! :)

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
