1324 Tasting Notes
Ordered this at a Local Coffee Shop because I’ve been wanting to try it. I should have known better… I wasn’t thinking and forgot to specify the temperature and it was over steeped. So I won’t write a review but I will say that I still drank it and I think I would really enjoy this actually when prepared the right way.
A Family member bought a box of this recently and I was wanting something minty tonight and it really hit the spot! This was the first tea that I drank as a child, this tea was what I’d drink at night and mix my medicine into.(It was powdered) So this tea really brings back memories. I’m not a big fan of peppermint so It’s nice to have an easily accessible herbal tea that has spearmint instead.
Flavor wise the honey I added blends nicely with the chamomile and other herbs leaving a sweet herby taste. While the spearmint flavor reminds me of gum. It’s a really nice palate cleanser. After adding some honey to it and trying it I decided that I didn’t even need to add any milk.
I steeped this using two tea bags in a 12 oz cup. The water temperature was boiling and I lost track of how long it steeped but it was likely around 8 minutes.

A review pretty please? Even a short one. I love Keemuns and this one has an INSANE rating but all of the Steepster reviews are from several years ago. I am really intrigued by this tea.
I plan to review the next cup. I definitely recommend it though It was so good I finished the cup rather quickly. I’ll try to add a review tomorrow. (:
I got this sample from a vend at the PDX Tea Fest this year. I prepared this following the instructions. I boiled three ounces of water and let it sit for about 3 minutes before steeping the tea for a little longer than 30 seconds. Even though my sample was very small I found this to be a very good Sencha.
Flavors: Creamy, Grass, Smooth
