230 Tasting Notes
Wow, I’m almost sorry I put off purchasing this tea. It is delightful and this morning it steeped twice. Tue second steep really brought out the cinnamon.
More later when I’m not fighing with a touch screen keyboard.I put it off too, as I felt it was a cooler weather tea, but when I actually tried it, I got a strange taste or aftertaste. Sad really, as I’d expected to love it.
It’s the heat from the cinnamon, but if it is bitter the water could be too hot?
It wasn’t heat, that I could tell, but it was almost licorice-y…it might have just been a bad brew.
Mmmm!!! I will edit this later, because I really should go to my bus and get to my site..
So GOOD!! So good!!
I’ve had this in my cupboard for a while and I have merrily carted it from work to home and this weekend to Camp Bernard! Yes this tea has been to Scout Camp!! And I must say I was SO happy to have it with me! It fought off the cold, and slowed down the progression of the cold I have now.
The kids agreed that the tea smelled like carrot cake with frosting and one even went so far as to try and trade me his hot chocolate for my tea at “mug up” – Sorry kid, this tea is for big kids.
Mmmm carrots, Mmmm apples, Mmmm delish! You won’t want to share either.
Ummm… Still undecided.
This might be a fruit Tea that I share, with my kids at work. It smells delightful, like sour cherry pie and banana splits but the taste falls flat. It could be because I did not put enough tea into my Libre or it could be that my first scoop got too much hibiscus in it, but either way something was missing.
It’s a great tea for a great cause, I will just have to give it one more try before I completely write it off as a no-go.
Woops! Too many leaves for my little 12oz Libre, so the first steep smelled delicious but it tasted like GRASS!!
The second and third steep’s are much better and far more palpable, although the third steep has no raspberry scent and the leaves are taking up almost 2/3’s of the glass – next time LESS LEAVES silly me!
Preparation
I have had two “Mini Betty’s” (a single serve brown teapot) of this today and there is last little bit left for when I get home. I wish there was a tea fairy that could deliver more to me! sigh alas I will have to wait until next payday.
It is just so sweet and delicious, I am sad that I can only ever get three steepings out of this tea, but for the cost and all that flavouring, I am not going to complain… Mmmm, peeeaches! Aaapricots! Mmmmmmmm!
I am so loving this advent calendar. Even though I have tried or own most of the teas it is still great fun. And it takes the morning decision out of my hands which is nice since I have so many teas now.
No kidding! I always wake up a little earlier so i can enjoy my tea at home!
