2987 Tasting Notes
I’m not sure what to think of this EG. I get weird hints of smoke and minerals. The citrus/bergamot is nice, but I find the base lacks sweetness and is drying. This makes the cup a bit of a challenge to drink plain (I ended up adding a touch of sugar to mine).
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Drying, Tannic
Another belated tasting note.
I got a whole bunch of Lupicia’s teas before they sold out of everything and this one I decided t only get the 10 teabags so I don’t have 25+ cups worth in a tin taking up precious space. I’ve had this twice, one with soy milk and once plain. Both were good. The vanilla/strawberry combo is something I hadn’t considered before but wow is it ever stellar. The rose is very gentle and I found in most sips it was barely present. The vanilla was sweet and creamy, the strawberry was very sweet and natural tasting. It reminded me of a milkshake. I’m not crazy about the green base (a bit too vegetal and astringent), I think a herbal base would have been much better.
Flavors: Cream, Fruity, Strawberry, Sweet, Thick, Vanilla
Preparation
I can’t remember where I got this, but I wanted to drink something caffeinated yesterday and figured this counts as a sipdown.
The base is nice, lightly vegetal and gets bitter if brewed hot (I didn’t enjoy it as much hot but once it cooled I watered it down and that was much better). The jasmine is very strong and natural. There isn’t much here other than a tippy green tea and jasmine floral scent, but that’s exactly what you expect from a tea called jasmine blossom.
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Vegetal
Preparation
I’m enjoying this cup brewed strong with a splash of unsweetened vanilla Ripple (plant-based) milk. Vanilla ripple tastes like a milkshake, so together with a tea called “Vanilla Plantation” you can imagine how great this is.
Thick, sweet, lots of vanilla and creaminess. Some malt from the black tea base but also a touch of spiciness. A bit of tannicity in the base.
Flavors: Creamy, Malt, Sweet, Tannic, Thick, Vanilla
I remember liking this one! Very nutty.
