Thank you Angel and Teavivre for this Sample
I had all three granddaughters helping out on this review and we went through three steepings using a french press (of all things..this was big enough to brew for 4 people).
The first pour was the lightest colored. Light golden brown and toast scented. Schey said the taste was grassy and the other girls thought the flavor was good but tasting like earth and somewhat astringent.
The second pour was medium honey brown and smelled like wheat bread to all of us. We sweetened the tea and enjoyed the sweet bread and honey flavor. Megan noticed that there was a little saltiness.
The third pour was the most interesting. We labored to find the words for what the flavor was.
“Sesame!” I said….“Exactly, yes”, was their reply. But I couldn’t just stop there and leave well enough alone.
“Sesame Street!” I cried! (I meant to say Sesame Tahini!)
We rolled, cracked up…cried…laughed till we hurt…what a goofus!
So, ok ok ok…I thinketh this tea tasteth like Sesame Tahini and Honey!
We all liked it. We had a good laugh!
The next review I PROMISE to be serious Teavivre! Really!

I bought this one and I ADORE it! Glad you all had fun drinking it!
When tea is FUN it makes it even better! LOVED reading this tasting note!!!
I like to include notes on the tea education of my grandchildren (not the 2 toddlers yet) ages 7,9,11,15,17,18 all close by. Some love LS, one Puerh, one Yabao and some Chai or Oolong. Little by little!
Love hearing about your tea tastings with your grandchildren, Bonnie. So glad you can share that with them!
Wow! So many grandchildren!! By the way, what is sesame tahini?
CHAroma… My daughter and son-in-law had 3 daughters then adopted 3 boys and then have fostered 27 children so far (they have 2 right now) that’s why so many. But the house is big (3 bathrooms), on an acre. Sesame seeds ground up like peanut butter make a spread or tahini. It usually is found in the grocery store in a can and the oil separates so you have to stir it like natural peanut butter until it’s incorporated with the ground seeds and smooth.
Wow, your daughter and son-in-law are awesome people!! (But I’m sure you already knew that). ;) I’ve always wanted to adopt. There are so many kids out there that need/deserve good homes. It makes me really happy to hear that your daughter is being so generous. I wish her all the best!
