A lovely iced tea on a sunny warm (almost too warm) day

Another sipdown, soon I will be able to close my non-caffeinated drawer. :P

I find the raspberry quite strong in this cup because there were some small raspberry bits at the bottom of the bag that seemed to have steeped into the brew.

The honeybush is quite fragrant with notes of honey, wood, brown sugar, and molasses.

Unlike previous cups, I can taste the almond here. It tastes more like marzipan or an almond dessert than plain almonds, though.

Flavors: Almond, Fruity, Honey, Marzipan, Molasses, Raspberry

I think I’ll give this one a try today. :D

I’m sad to see this one go, but it was an easy sipdown and I need to get my teas under control.

Lots of honey and vanilla notes, some of the rooibos comes through and is lightly fruity. No toffee exactly, but still delicious.

Flavors: Honey, Rooibos, Vanilla

drank Pomegranate by Pure Leaf
2987 tasting notes

I bought this for myself because I felt like a sweetened drink. I don’t like this flavour as much as the unsweetened lemon black tea. I found the pomegranate to have a good strong black base, but the pomegranate flavour was more like dried prunes or the fig part of fig newtons. I like fig newtons, but not in tea. I’ve had fresh pomegranate juice before and I didn’t find this to be accurate.

Flavors: Dried Fruit, Fig, Plum

Preparation
Iced

It’s plain, it’s boring, it’s on a grocery store shelf near you: Lipton Earl Grey

I think I took this from a hotel room or something. I didn’t buy it/seek it out. Anyway, with a lot of milk and some sweetener this is a drinkable cup.

Flavors: Bergamot, Bitter, Citrus, Tannic

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 1 min, 45 sec

My mouth puckers just reading the name of the tea!

“It’s plain, it’s boring, it’s on a grocery store shelf near you!” They need to make that their slogan.

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
