42 tasting notes

My husband likes this more than I do, but neither of us are crazy about it. I’ve tried it hot and iced, both ways I added a tiny bit of sugar. It reminds me of fruity potpourri. Too floral for my taste. It is somewhat fruity, but I expected it to taste a lot fruitier because of the description on Teavana’s website. I’ll try double- and triple-steeping to see if the flavor improves, but I would not repurchase this tea.

Cassie, head over to the newbies thread in the discussion boards to the more recent pages for tips on how to get samples and free tea. I’ve been here for 2 years and am the oldest at 65. There’s a note in the newbies about getting free tea samples from teavivre website. We all do this and I’ve been receiving tea from them for a long time. No cost at all. Just review the tea on Steepster. So, welcome to tea!

Bio

My name is Cassie. I’m 27 years old, married to my best friend, and we have 2 cats! I am a professional baker, and I own a bakery with my mom.

I sipped my first cup of “real” loose leaf tea on October 5th, 2013, and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying new flavors, anything and everything to find out what I like. I’m always looking for suggestions… Where to buy, which to try, steeping methods, tea accessories and gadgets, etc. :)

MY TASTE
*I grew up drinking iced tea in the South, so black tea will always have a place in my cupboard.
*I am obsessed with cinnamon! Anything loaded with cinnamon will become a favorite of mine.
*I like fruity teas, especially if they are tart. I love hibiscus and rose hips.
*I also like dark, strong, toasty teas, but preferably nothing smokey.
*I don’t do chamomile. Never. Ever. EW.

I’m open to try anything. Suggestions are welcome. :)

MY RATINGS
[#’s are solely based on personal preference.]
Less than 50 : Pour it down the drain
50-64 : Finish the cup // Never drink it again
65-74 : Not a bad cup // Would not repurchase
75-94 : Quite tasty // Would consider repurchasing
95+ : Delicious // Will never run out <3
