345 Tasting Notes
Thank you VariaTea for sharing this tea with me! I shared this with my son tonight as I let him stay up way past his bedtime because I thought it was Friday, oops. We both like this one :) It’s creamy and I love that the lime does not have a tart bite that would make me want to sweeten it. I don’t remember why it took me so long to try this but I have to say it feels great removing things from my cupboard even if it is not the true amount of tea I own.
TTTTB 2/7
I first received this in my mystery pack from MissB and went through the sample so quick I could not even remember how to describe it. So, I was happy to see this in the TTTTB because I remembered I liked it but needed help making a note to help me remember I’ve tried it. Like a few of H&S teas I’ve tried, I find this simple and easy to drink. It tastes like stonefruit. I don’t think I will ever buy any but would have no problem drinking it if I ever get more.
Thanks MissB for including this in my mystery pack. Definitely not something I normally would have tried because I don’t seem to like teas that are promoted as or implied to help you lose weight and is also part of the reason it took me so long to get on this crazy tea journey. I cold brewed this anticipating I would not like it because of the licorice and that is what the cold brew brought out licorice, yuck. I’m so glad I saved a cups worth to try hot because I can actually drink it. It taste and smells like a light chai. I’m really enjoying the stimulant from the mate. Can’t say I would ever buy it because of the name I would never want to drink it and that is why it took me so long to try it.
I’ve only tried this iced and I love it. My husband loves it so much more that I think I can get away with “gifting” it for Father’s Day. It is the spiciest tea I’ve ever had and like others have said, tastes like a fireball candy when sweetened just a little. I’ve had a hard time finding a good replacement with iced tea that still has that caffeine kick the iced coffee I used to make. This one and tangerine creamsicle have helped a lot. I plan on making a small order in the next couple days after I receive my winnings from dietbet and try the new blackberry lime. I’m so excited I’ve been thinking about it for weeks.
I love the blackberry lime. It’s really good. It does need a touch of sugar, and I do mean just a touch.
Cheri, reading your reviews helped my decision. I can not imagine not liking it. I placed my order late last night and I can’t wait.
This is the first “sad” sipdown I can recall. I don’t know if this is because I don’t think I will ever get it again or my “diet” that does not encourage me to eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is the first cup of this I remember enjoying this much, maybe it’s because it has had time to “marinate” like I’ve heard others talk about with some of 52Teas blends. I get yummy buttery pancakes. In the past I’ve added a little brown sugar and it reminded me of liquid pancakes, this time I did not add anything but it was the best cup.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me EvaGrimm, from our first tea swap :)
I’ve been afraid to try this tea because of the smell for awhile but for some reason I decided today was the day. It turns out to be the perfect day as I ignored everything I should be doing and sat around drinking tea pretending it’s a cool cloudy and rainy fall day. This just adds to the element of having a fire burning and the mint cools the breath like a cool breeze. Fun! Thank you so much jump62359 for sharing this unique tea with me :)
