drank Marshmallow Macaron by Teavana
35 tasting notes

Extra Note:

Trying 4 tsp and 2 sugar cubes, added 1 afterward- the tea was a bit more bitter, but in a nice way- the taste of some island fruits/tartness though did overcome most of the sweet tones. This time it tasted more like the Wild Orange Blossoms herbal tea (by Teavana). Maybe less steeping time? Maybe I’m letting too much of the bottom of the tealeaves (in the infuser) seep into the cup?

Any advice?

Flavors: Fruity, Sweet, Tart

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 4 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Maybe less tea? I haven’t tried this one, but 4 tsp seems like quite a bit. If I’m not happy with a tea due to bitterness, I generally use a little less tea and lower the temp, and see how that works for me. :)

I am still a very n00b when it comes to tea even though I’ve been drinking herbal tea all my life. I only fell madly in love with it just a few months ago- next thing I know, I have 11 boxes of different teas. (I just counted xD)

I’m Mormon/LDS, so I only drink herbal tea. I drank black tea for a while, but eventually decided to switch back to herbal for religious reasons- though I loved the taste of Traditional British Breakfast, Chai, and Earl Grey (all under the Twinings brand).

Since then, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed finding and tasting different herbal teas- it came be so relaxing or so energizing. I love it!

I’m a 24 year old university student born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. I go to school in Provo, Ut where I’m majoring in English and English Teaching.

I love to write, read, dance ballet, and basically passionate about all the humanities.

I’m a big Sherlockian, Whovian, and totally Cumberbatched.
