1324 Tasting Notes
For some reason when I woke up this morning thinking of what tea I wanted to make this one popped into my head. I was also pretty sure I hadn’t reviewed it before so it seemed like a solid choice.
This is a tea that I feel like most people would prefer cold but I actually really enjoy it hot. The fruit in this one comes across as very juicy and sweet. It’s floral and slightly perfumey but not in a yucky way. I’ve never had actual lychee fruit but I think this tea is one that lines up with the name. I do get the lychee flavor profile here and can see the bellini comparison.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Lychee, Mango, Strawberry, Sweet
Preparation
maybe this one just needs some sweetener but right not it’s tart and acidic with the hibiscus, rosehips, lemon, and lime… The loose leaf for this one is quite varied since it’s all fruit. Maybe I just got a lot of citrus in my strainer.
Made the perfect cup of this the other day. It was milky buttery coco-nutty deliciousness. I actually ended up making it because I had packaged a sample up to give to a friend over the weekend. Unfortunately, this one ended up forgotten in my purse by the time we parted ways.
Also on a side note my friend and I just caved and got tickets to the Glass Animals concert. It’s not til March though but tickets were already mostly sold out. Is anyone else a fan?
Flavors: Butter, Coconut
Preparation
I need to expand on this as I wasn’t paying much attention while drinking this since I was in a Zoom class. I remember liking it and thinking it certainly tasted better than the dry sachet smelled. It’s sweet and woody with a bit of booze. It’s somewhat smoky but pretty mild compared to straight lapsang souchong. I should make another tasting note while I’m actually paying close attention. I’m glad I ended up deciding to get the tin though! Also, each sachet is supposed to make a 16oz mug.
