97 Tasting Notes
Yummy yummy yummy! I don’t think I’ve had anything quite like this. Super sweet, mapley and comforting. It’s been dipping into the -50C range where I live – typical, because I live in the coldest shit pit in Canada – and this was the perfect little warmup I needed after gallivanting in the cold for the better half of the day.
Preparation
Yuck.
I knew I’d regret buying this, but at the time decided I’d give flavoured white teas another try. This is too hyper sweet and fruity. I originally intended to brew this as an iced tea, but found I had no ice cubes prepared. So, hot it was. Uuugh. Even the smell repulses me.
I only bought 50g of this (thank god) and I’m willing to try it out as an iced tea next time; maybe it’ll be improved some way or another. But right now? Nope. Nope nope nope. Good thing I got this dirt cheap.
Time to go dump this out and brew some delicious Cha Yen Thai.
Preparation
Reminds me of a mocha! I had a feeling I’d like this one when I smelled it. I’m glad I purchased more of it than the others I bought on the same haul. Sweet and slightly spicy. Best mate I’ve had so far, actually (but don’t take that for face value; I’ve only had 2).
Preparation
I might’ve steeped this one a little too long; it seems to have acquired a bit of a bitter taste. Regardless, it fades away into a pleasant nutty aftertaste. I can definitely taste the walnuts. The fruit, not so much. Nuts are the star here.
I have approximately 150g of this to get through…I think I can do it.
Edit: Aaaand the addition of some sweetener just made this a million times better. Thanks, Sugar Twin. I’ll never take you for granted again.
Preparation
INCREDIBLE. Reminds me a lot of Cha Yen Thai, actually. Deliciously sweet and nutty with a nice savory spice aftertaste. Makes me wanna go to the beach.
I need to run back to Teavana and purchase more of this ASAP. I hope they still have some left!
