525 tasting notes

I had this lovely tea a couple days ago, but it’s been crazy and I’ve been drinking lots of tea I haven’t been able to log. Anyways, this is a nice one. I normally don’t drink fruit teas because they usually come with more hibiscus than fruit. blah. This one had a lovely rose color without the hibiscus. I loved the flavor. Very berry, currant and raisin. Slightly tart. You need a lot of dry tea to make a flavorful cup and you don’t get much in the bag. And it’s not re-steepable, so it’s not too economical but it’s tasty. I think it tastes way better cold because it’s still a bit tart. Very refreshing. I imagine it would be great mixed with lemonade.

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
