drank Vicky's Sponge Cake by Bird & Blend Tea Co.
379 tasting notes

I’m beginning to work on the Bird & Blend Tea gifts that Cameron B. sent me. :D Another company I wanted to try. Thank you Cameron B.!

I put 3.5g in 150 ml so I didn’t have a problem with it being weak that some said in their reviews. I have a bad bad bad habit of drinking tea on an empty stomach. I can get away by sipping Jin Xuan or Lishan, something creamy, but this one burned a hole in my tummy lol. Preparing it this way, I’m sure, didn’t help.

This to me, is raspberry tea. A good one if you love raspberries. I tasted very little of anything else. I loved that it was tart and not sweet. That’s how I love my raspberries, just straight. I like to make the funny face of tasting sour things. ^^ Having said that, I think I would’ve liked a little more cake, coconut or cream in this.. To get that sponge cake taste going on.

Flavors: Cake, Coconut, Jam, Raspberry, Tart

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 g 5 OZ / 150 ML

I agree, and had this had any artificial tasting sweetener, it would’ve been gross I think but it didn’t. Yay.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
