1324 Tasting Notes
A while ago if you shared an Adagio post on FB you got a free pouch of tea. I got this one and grapefruit oolong from doing that.
This one is definitely much stronger in terms of flavor than Republic Of Tea’s Blackberry Sage tea. I can taste the sage here and it’s really nice. The blackberry flavor is distracting and kind of takes over though. One of the other tea reviews describes it as chalky and I would have to agree. I wish it was a more natural blackberry flavor or candy-like but not chalky. It’s still a pleasant cup of tea. I’d never guess that this was an oolong if I didn’t already know.
Flavors: Artificial, Berry, Blackberry, Chalky, Sage
Preparation
Prior to this one, I’d never tried a kiwi tea or even spotted one. I don’t get kiwi in taste but what I am tasting is delicious. The sencha base is really good! It’s buttery and grassy and rich with perhaps a hint of fruit beneath all of that. It’s smooth and wasn’t finicky to brew.
Flavored green teas often disappoint me when it comes to the base. This one is base forward and really good. This tea also brews up a beautiful shade of green. and I was able to re-steep it. This one is going back on the wishlist as I’d love to have more of this in my cupboard.
Thank You Derk!
Flavors: Butter, Fruity, Grass, Smooth
