1324 Tasting Notes

I revisited this one and this last cup was not good. Since it was the bottom of the back there was way too much blackberry leaf. Between the much sweeter than usual taste with the savory ingredients, it was rather unpleasant.
Definitely a strange tea but I wish it was tastier given that it’s a Twin Peaks-inspired blend. Though I didn’t dislike it to the degree that many others on here have. Excluding this particular bottom of the bag cup of course. Of course now that I just finished off my sample pouch of this I notice the recommendations. It seems that the company recommends adding milk or adding booze and making a hot toddy.(a hot toddy with this tea sounds odd to me though)
Mini Note backlog:
Liked this one, it tasted almost exactly like DT’s Jumpy Monkey tea that was a family favorite for years. This one tasted more natural though and I would imagine the flavor consistency between cups would be much better. The DT blend had more ingredients including white chocolate which made Jumpy Monkey slightly oily at times on the surface. I definitely wouldn’t mind picking up some of this when I eventually order from DF. Thanks Derk! These DF teas are indulgent.
This was my first time trying a passionfruit tea (well technically Miss Dammann was) Passionfruit seems like a tricky flavor to translate into a tea but I was super impressed with this one.
This tea is SO good. The passionfruit in this one is what I was missing from “Miss Dammann”. I don’t have a lot of experience with passionfruit but I really like the Ellenos yogurt that has a passionfruit curd and some seeds. (been a while since I’ve had it so on the grocery list it goes!) So I would say it’s a pretty spot-on passionfruit flavor. The jasmine and the passion fruit are balanced nicely with each other. As my tea cooled I noticed that the jasmine started to take the spotlight. So the main flavor notes of this one do change once it cools.
I definitely need to buy a bag of this to enjoy at some point, so it goes on the wishlist.
Thank You Derk for sending this sample my way!
Flavors: Jasmine, Mango, Passion Fruit
Preparation
Had a cup of this one made in an espresso machine. I like this preparation better than using the drip coffee pot. I steamed some almond milk which turns it into a lovely herbal latte. The dates and fruit in this blend add the perfect amount of sweetness. I’m also a big fan of carob and can taste that in this blend which comes across as chocolate. This flavor is one of the more natural-tasting ones that Teeccino offers.
