1204 tasting notes

I just went to an in-person conference for the first time since the pandemic hit, which was more than a little stressful. (I had to staff a one-day conference for work a few months ago, but I didn’t have to leave town for it and I was not even there for the whole day. This was a full-on, multi-day, out-of-town affair.) Thankfully they had this tea. Since Kelmishka had included this in my Steepster homemade advent calendar, I already knew that it is absolutely delicious. Plus they had almond milk out a couple of times, which gave it added creaminess and strengthened the vanilla flavor. I even cold brewed a bag in a water bottle, and honestly it turned out better than I expected. I was concerned that the soft, cozy vibe of this blend wouldn’t translate as a cold brew. But the core flavor notes – vanilla, lemon, and glaze – actually translated really well into something still soft but maybe more spring-like than cozy. Basically I was downing variations of this every time I was alone or outside. I may have also liberated a couple of bags to take home.

Whenever I’m at a work event that has tea, I always take a couple for the road…or sometimes even every bag of chamomile…

There’s a Good Earth Sweet and Spicy that’s also extremely conference and hotel friendly—the cinnamon is good for covering up unfamiliar water and Styrofoam.

Most minty teas are hard to screw up, even low quality mint leaves will cover up mineral tasting water. I tend to travel with a few tea bags just I case the tea I come across isn’t up to my tea snobbery standards. Pukka makes an elderberry and berry flavored bag that is good for all occasions and is strong enough for a few infusions.
