69 Tasting Notes
The flavor profile was a little strong on this one. It primarily tastes like banana with a coconut backdrop. The tea base was a bit heavy. Something was a little off here for me, but I think this is a good one for experimentation with a splash of coconut milk or infusing in a couple ounces of coconut water.
Preparation
I have found that most grape flavored teas taste more like green grapes than red/purple ones. However, this one tastes purple grapes too me. The white tea is a little grassy and I felt that added authenticity to the flavor profile. Nicely done.
Preparation
Quality leaf with huge pieces of fruit. Nicely balanced and I am a sucker for the fig backdrop. Unique, tasty and I just love fig tea!
Preparation
This is rather spicy chai with a green tea base. I much prefer my chai with a strong black tea base. However, this is one of the better green rea options. This is quite spicy with cinnamon and ginger leading the way. The green tea base is still rather thin. If you are spice adverse, then avoid this one. If you like em spicy, then give this one a shot.
Preparation
This is a bagged tea offering. Internal expection of the tea bag shows no pieces of hibiscus, cranberry or orange peel. There is also a medicinal taste to this one that stayed with me throughout the cup. I feel that cranberry and blood orange are rather dominant flavors and expect them to get in my face. This mostly tasted like rooibos with cranberry and a citrusy finish. I wanted some tart. Not for me.
Preparation
This is definitely a quality tea. It is very smooth and mellow. Refined really. It consistent notes of wood, tobacco and honey. It also gave off notes of dark chocolate at hotter temps and was a bit starchy as it cooled. There was a mellow spice on the finish. I love a good Yunnan. This one is pricey but worth it if you like a good Golden Needle.
Preparation
Good thanks. Haven’t been on much lately due to some back issues that are flared up by my computer chair. ;(
Oooh. This sounds really nice; I may have to add it to my shopping list!
[And sorry to hear about your back.]
Definitely one of the better Moroccan Mint blends on the market. The peppermint tastes fresh and the gunpowder is of a higher quality than most. I didn’t find the peppermint to be overwhelmingly strong and syrupy. I could actually taste the green tea base. Thumbs up!
Preparation
Have you ever had one of those Pillsbury Rolls with the Orange Glaze? The ones you buy in the refrigerator section, bake, and then add the orange glaze… This is one of those liquified. I shall be hogging the rest of this sample for myself. Most def YUM. I might have to get some of this.
