726 tasting notes

I was intrigued by this tea because white peony petals and marzipan and wow so many things going on in one tea I just //had// to try it!

Opening up the package and wow. Overwhelmed by the fruity/sweet/candy-like smells.
Brewing… oh. It smells like medicine. I don’t know what to expect from it now…
Tasting it… oh oh no. Now this is just a bit too sweet for me. I’m sure it’s good to some people! But this is just too much and it’s leaving a weird sweet aftertaste in my mouth.

I was kinda disappointed with this tea? Usually the sweet teas lose some flavour when you steep, but this just got stronger. I was so excited for this tea, but sometimes less is more. I really want to love this tea, but I’m sorry, I took two sips and I can’t finish.

Five minutes later and the aftertaste is still there. I’ll try this tea again later on. Maybe balance out the sweet with a bit of milk? Just not tonight.

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
