464 Tasting Notes
I had a bunch of tea bags floating around, so I decided to bring them to the training center today. I already found out we have a hot water tap on the floor of our training room. Woot!
This is REALLY strong on the bergamot. I am fond of Twining’s Earl Grey. It’s one of the bagged teas I drank a lot before I switched mostly to loose leaf. Maybe I just haven’t drunk it in a while, but this one is stronger than earl grey with the bergamot. It also tastes like there is some other citrus in it too… a touch of lime? The base is nice as well, not overly bitter. Altogether, a solid morning cup of tea. Something to enjoy while I’m sitting here waiting for the boring class to begin. I hate these kind of training classes.
And I think this particular bag was sent to me by Shelley_Lorraine, so thanks again! :-)
A friend of mine has been raving about this tea! I picked up some for her around her birthday and got myself some at the same time.
I’m not as enamoured of it as she is. It’s a little muddy tasting despite the bright citrus element to it. I think it’s the combination of this particular rooibos and the yogurt bits that doesn’t sit well with me. It gives it a a cream cheese quality. I had to throw it out. This cuppa is not for me! I’ll have to give my friend the rest of it or maybe save it for the next travelling tea box I’m getting I know some people are fond of this kind of dessert tea.
Thanks, Shelley_Lorraine!
Cloves and Licorice? Yes, please! I love both and would never think of putting them together. The licorice smooths out the cloves and makes the mouthfeel deep and cool. The cinnamon was just right and the apple was light, but natural tasting from what I could tell. I need to get some of this around the holidays. Yum!
