drank Rooibos Chai by The Persimmon Tree Tea Company

I didn’t think I under steeped this tea but there is not much here. :( Very little chai spice taste. A little floral. No boldness that I expect when I think of chai. i won’t bother to finish this as I have so many others to try.

I have not been impressed with any of their teas yet! That was a sample I got in my order from them…their pu’erh was SUPER fishy, even after rinsing…gross.

That’s why we all try these so we can find out. Aren’t you glad you didn’t buy 2 oz. or something?

I like their caramel green, but haven’t tried the others I recently bought yet. Hoping there are some hidden gems.

I really enjoy their caramel green! coconut creme and mandarin creme :)
Was debating ordering the butterscotch and chocolate coconut pu’erh, has anyone tried those two?

@whatshesaid – I have both! I didn’t care for either, I will happily send them your way if you send me your address is PM :) Maybe it’s just me and my taste buds. Haha. I’ll happily send them to a new home :)

I have a sample of the butterscotch I haven’t yet tried… the caramel green is the only one I’ve tried so far. MissB posted a tasting note about the chocolate pu’erh yesterday.. I didn’t order that one for myself, I couldn’t order a sample of everything. She seemed to enjoy the chocolate pu’erh.

Bio

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
