431 Tasting Notes

I picked up a sample of this one with my last order and although it was satisfactory there really wasn’t anything that stood out for me. It is vegetal and slighty sweet. The tea itself is beautiful and even a little heavy in weight. I am however glad I had the chance to try it.

This is the third one I am drinking today that I haven’t had in a while and I have totally noticed my palette has changed or my memory is off. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the taste of rose and mariapan. It was a sweet and relaxing treat. This is discontinued and I only have a bit left, fortunately it is still good. Yay for good storage.

If I wasn’t feeling so sick at the moment this would sound AMAZING! Maybe blended w/ your strawberry cream blend?

I am also trying this one for the first time in some time and it too tasted better than before. I found this one more interesting because I almost tasted each ingredient one at a time and the all at once, strange but satisfying. I truly get the whole cool evening, sunset with pumpkins, and colorful fall leaves falling from the trees with this, it kinda made me think of autumn but I quickly remembered snow so I decided no way and jolted myself back to reality and said…it is summer. It was a nice daydream while it lasted.

After such a wonderful review from LiberTeas on here and http://www.teareviewblog.com/?p=13106 I just had to start my day with a cup of my very own blend. It has been some time since I last had this and I do remember liking it. However, I will say I enjoyed it even more this time then I had remembered. The strawberries tasted so real and so fresh. Just a juicy cup plus the cream just made it taste so sinful. The best part is that the cream tasted already sweetened and it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable and for some reason naughty. I just can’t explain it. Bottom line…YUMMY!

I am so sad I am just about out of this one. Maybe about 3 or 4 cups left. I have had this on hand for a while now and only drink it sparlingly, usually depending on mood and I needed a lift today so I reached for this one especially after I saw the new 52 Teas blend I want so bad, the Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish but can’t but now because I promised my husband I wouldn’t for a month. I am now 9 days in and counting, I want more tea so bad. Yes, I have a lot but I don’t care.

Wow, sorry for the rant and back to the tea. Despite the age of this tea it is still amazing, just like the first time I had it. It tastes like almond cookies and just warms you up and puts you in a good mood. I will have to restock once the ban on new tea is over.

“Yes, I have a lot but I don’t care.” I use that line to myself while considering to buy a tea or not! :)

Bumping up…I crave this and I believe it is great in the morning. The honey finish is so delicious and the hints of tobacco add richness and depth. I enjoy this because of all the different layers of flavor. It even tastes great as it gets cooler in the cup. Yummy!

This was so good. So many layers of flavor. I mostly picked up on a honey after note. It was rich and sweet and deep. Gotta try it to see what I mean. Totally worth it. :-)

For someone not into fruit teas that much it wasn’t bad. I fully believe the honey giving the tea little something richer helped it a lot. The honey appears after thr strawberry and the best part is that it also lingers on the tongue long after. I enjoyed this more than expected and am happy to have had the chance to try it.

Unforunately I didn’t get the lingering honey flavor in spite of steeping it an extra 2 min. :(

I got home from work today and really needed a good cup of tea so I picked this one. I also recently purchased a scale to measure my tea with. It is new for me but thought I would give it a shot because it did feel I wasn’t measuring proportionately and it seems I was right. I measured the traditional way and then measured it on the scale and noticed I had been using too much tea, at least this time. After measuring a bit more conservatively I noticed a huge difference which in this case resulted in a better score.

This is sweet and yummy like burnt sugar, in a good way. Definitely, one of my favorites.

I can taste the almond but I am still not entirely sure how to put how I feel about this tea in words. So I will have more and come back with a better log.
