9 Tasting Notes
I wanted to like this much more than I did. I love the smell of it. Although I think the walnuts created a bitterness to the tea that made it almost un-drinkable to me. Next go round, I think i will pull some of the walnuts out before I brew, maybe that will help.
This tea is friggin perfect. It screams fall like an October ride through Vermont to look at the foliage :) It is the perfect amount of chai and pumpkin, real pumpkin, not fake tasting what-so-ever. I feel like eating pumpkin pie when I drink this. Get it, you won’t regret it!
I cold brewed this and it was super delicious. Sweet enough I didn’t have to add any additional sugar :)
Cold brew? Hmm. I’ve never tried it that way, might have to give it a shot. Great idea!
Oh yea. Definitely try it.
I left mine for probably somewhere bewteen 12-14 hours in my takeya pitcher.
Ooh, I got some of this in a swap and never thought to cold brew it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Once I finished steeping this, I knew I didn’t want to have it hot. Something about hot watermelon didn’t sit right with me. So I threw it in a tumbler and chilled it. When I took my first sip, it wasn’t tasting like watermelon, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. So my 3 year old son came over and asked if he could try some. He took a sip and said “Mommy, that tastes like bananas”. Then it clicked, I took another sip, and bam! there it was. It DOES taste like bananas, not real bananas though, like banana flavored Runts (you know those little candies you used to get out of the machine in the grocery store?)
Overall, it was good, but I don’t think it would be something I would purchase.
I swear, people talk about banana-flavoured runts on here all the time!! Hahaha :)
I guess that’s what people think of when we taste something banana-y, at least i’m not the only one. I thought it was a little silly sounding :)
Banana runts, huh? Tasted like watermelon to me! But I only tried a sample in the store, so who knows how they prepared it.
I had to edit this note because this tea has easily become my absolute favorite tea ever. It is filled to the brim with blueberry flavor. Although I have only had this one iced so far, now that the weather is cooling down, I am eager to try this hot. If you like blueberries, you will love this tea :)
