This came from Tea-Sipper, I bought some of this in her stash sale a few months ago along with some other goodies.

Not loving this one, maybe I need to play around with it some more. I don’t get any of the tasting notes that other’s have mentioned. There was a lot of safflower in my strainer. I wonder if that is what I’m tasting so much of. I get notes of anise, but am missing the cake aspect. The Cinnamon and cocoa shell comes through faintly and more so in the last few sips. For a Sencha it’s not very buttery. Maybe I didn’t store this properly. I’m not sure what treacle is supposed to taste like but I get the impression it’s supposed to be quite sweet which isn’t the case in this cup. I hope I have some better luck with this one in the future.

My mom brought me a bottle of this. I hadn’t tried the peach one before.
This one isn’t as sweet as the coconut one but tastes just like those gummy peach rings that I used to find my mom eating all of the time. Although not quite as sweet but still somewhat sweet. It’s not bad per say but I do prefer the coconut one. My mom really liked this one though. I think this one is a lot better when your expecting a candy like peach flavor and not a fresh peach one like I was.

Made this for a family member since I had an sample packet leftover from an old order. I remembered that they liked this one when they tried a sample of it iced in stores. I didn’t care for it at the time. This time I made it hot and there were no additives in it.
I tried a few sips because I’ve been craving fruity teas lately and Lemon even though I used to be pretty picky I’m getting less and less regarding fruity teas. It seems that I really need to order some more since my cupboard doesn’t have much fruit flavored teas. I feel like I still have too many teas though to order yet even though a fair amount are samples.

This time trying it hot for the first time It really fits the name, The yogurt notes and rhubarb come through strong. This reminds me of the Rhubarb Cheesecake I made last year for my mother’s Birthday except less sweet of course. There are some soapy notes as well though which is unfortunate. Perhaps I steeped it a bit too long. I’m slightly wishing that this cup was mine to drink now but still ended up giving it to the family member. I remember the other sample packet I had of this ended up down the sink after a few sips. Now I have no more samples of this. It’s funny how your taste buds change and adapt/expand. I finally see why a lot of people like this one. This tea will sit at the current rating because I would have to try a few more cups of this to really get a good test of how much I like this tea. It came up from a 5 to a 54 though which is a lot.

Sipdown!
So This tea is a bit of a sad sip down but shouldn’t be. The cherry comes across as cough syrup like in this blend and is very strong. I’ve been sipping on my bag of this so much that I’ve come to reach for it. That’s probably because green teas are my favorite and I haven’t had a good green tea in ages it seems like because I currently have tons of black teas. Since I wanted to branch out. The very slim to none green teas I have are unopened and so I’ve been saving them till my cupboard shrinks down a ton. I never did get to try this iced which was disappointing because I forgot to cold brew some. I definitely would like to try some more cherry blossom green teas in the future.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person on steepster who favors green teas more than any other variety.
