1324 Tasting Notes
This one tastes like an herbal version of constant comment. The orange and spices in this one are balanced. I would’ve expected a concept like this to result in the spices overwhelming the base. The orange is the star in this one and it works. My grandmother ordered a bag of this one and shared some with me. I love that this one isn’t a spicy cinnamon tea. It’s a good one for the holiday season.
Flavors: Orange, Spices
This is your friendly reminder to sipdown some of your coconut teas if you’ve been neglecting them. I think I only have a couple at the moment though. Love this one!
I’m trying to sip down my entire cupboard (my newest teas are a year old and I’m embarrassed by how old some of them are) but I definitely have a few coconut teas in there I’m dreading trying again T_T
I have a lot of teas in general to sip down as well.
I have a coconut green tea that I bought at my very first tea festival almost a decade ago that MUST be spoiled by now… I’m afraid to check…
@Kaylee – at least I’m not alone! I discovered yesterday that one of my teas was 9 years old. I’m going to have to start calling them ‘aged’ at this point!
This conversation makes me feel much better about my tea stash! I think my oldest tea is coming up on 8 years soon.
Lmao @Shae – we need to start a club. Or maybe a support group! :’)
A support group sounds about right, lol
Saw this on amazon fresh and grabbed a box of it because I wanted to re-try it. I’m not sure if they changed the tea or just the packaging. I remember liking it a lot more in the past. It wasn’t as egg-noggy as I remembered it being and leaned more towards cinnamon.
Yikes. Eggnog and tea. Hmmm that would be daring for me!
I hope this is not true for me! I love this flavor – one of my tea guilty pleasures. Saw it in the supermarket and snagged a box, but haven’t tried it yet. I really hope it tastes as good as I remember it!
This used to be a favorite for me — I need to yank out the bags I still have and enjoy them now. If I remember correctly, milk helps.
This is one of my seasonal grocery store favorites too! I think they just changed the box, not the ingredients, but I liked the cutesy old box better.
DEF one of my seasonal “grocery store” teas. I hope they didn’t change the recipe!
I hadn’t had it in years so it’s probably just my opinion of it that has changed somewhat.
Sample sip down!
This one was pretty mild in flavor. I think a different bergamot would have paired better with the white tea base. I’m just nitpicking really though.
I tend to prefer my earl grey teas to be on a black tea base. I prefer Harney & Son’s version of a white tea earl grey to this one.
I’ve never had a white Earl Grey, it sounds interesting! I think I’d prefer mine with a robust black base too.
Oooooh – imagine white rhino Earl Grey though….
I haven’t actually explored white tea too much. I’ve never tried a white rhino tea. If you wanted to try one I’d recommend ordering a sample of H&H White Winter Earl Grey. It’s a great way to try a small amount of one.
I absolutely love white rhino, I recommend you try it if you get the chance! Sadly I’m on a complete buying hiatus until my stash gets to a much smaller, more manageable place, but I will add it to the wishlist! Thank you!
I’ll add the white rhino to my wishlist as well. Thanks :)
I love White Rhino! Thanks for reminding me to have some soon!
@ashmanra – Happy sipping!
I wish I had family members who shared my interest in tea!
<3
Nattie: Two of my family members only drink herbals or caffeine-free blends. Another one hates tea but will drink Cold 911 or cold teas sometimes. It’s so nice to make tea for others. I get excited when I’m asked to. I hope you have friends to drink tea with.
Sadly I don’t have anyone who shares my interest in tea. Ocassionally I can bug one of my friends into sharing a pot with me, or trying a sip, but they’re always very neutral on it. My parents won’t even entertain the notion of loose leave, even a straight black. We’re English and they are very English in their tea tastes – they buy one brand of teabags and won’t drink anything else. If I ask them if they want tea, they always ask if I mean ‘real’ tea, and they mean the teabags! That being said, their chosen brand it pretty tasty, but I wish they would be more open-minded.
