379 tasting notes

First and only H&S tea I’ve ever purchased. So many tasting notes and some date back like almost 10 years! I’m a baby when it comes to flavored tea (well, I’m a baby about a lot of the things >.< lol) so take my comments on flavored tea with that in mind. So I’m just putting a positive note and rating on this one because it deserves it.

It’s citrusy (bergamot) berry-delicious, caramel, some cocoa notes, slightly lemony finish delightful cup of tea. I also get some pastry and/or cake notes. It brews up very dark. I followed instructions per package, just did one steep since it was so late.

I had this last night before going to bed after a day of raw pu erh tea sampling. I usually put a rating after my first sample of it (first impression), and then near or close to the sipdown I write a review on it. In this case, I have like 2 more servings so it’s near the sipdown. I’ve always enjoyed it when I had a cup of it.

Flavors: Bergamot, Berries, Cake, Caramel, Citrusy, Fruity, Jam, Lemon

I heard several times this is one of their best blends. I never tried it but looks quite lovely.

Martin, that’s why I bought it too hehe. I bought a stump pot from them and before that, I had heard people say that it’s in their top 5, or top 3… Etc. of their teas so thought I’d try it. ^^

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.
