70 Tasting Notes
Still away from home and this is one of the teas I brought with me as I made my transition from drinking only greens and oolongs for months and months to the sudden craving for black teas with half and half. Stellar blend—both base and finely crafted flavourings.
Teatotaler, I’ve been enjoying half and half in Strawberry Black blends as well. Another excellent combination. Same goes for black chai blends.
For me, this is a temporary indulgence as my refrigerator at home is somewhat temperamental, so between that and dietary restrictions on dairy, I am enjoying these momentary splurges. Somehow because they are so limited and so fleeting, they are even more delightful.This blend has surprised me as I do not necessarily leap on all things maple. That said, 52Teas does maple very very well.
Sipdown!
Although this leaf is ancient in tea life, I have relished this last cup of it with its super lovely base, hint of vanilla, and slight strawberry insinuation. Of course, I need more vanilla and more strawberry, but this is one fine cup of tea, regardless. I very much enjoyed having this, one of Anne’s early blends when she took over, in my stash.
And it’s a sipdown!
Sipdown 39.
In store sample.
I liked the fruit flavours on the front of the sip and then the stevia took over. Blech.
Why do they do that?
