193 Tasting Notes
Thank you to Meghann for sending me some of this to try.
This was my first ever experience with Black Currants so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was sweet with a little spice to it from the cardamom. I enjoyed the cup and am glad I got to try this one. I am not sure I would order a whole tin for myself but again glad I could try it!
Preparation
White Mao Feng tea, blackberry pieces, raspberry pieces, peach pieces and mint. (ingredients for this tea from Teavana’s website… when I read the description for this tea on steepster it differed from just strawberries and white tea)
It is a nice light white tea. The fruit and mint are nicely balanced with neither being too overpowering. Great for multiple infusions!
I needed tea desperately and I decided to break into one of the teas I just recently purchased from 52teas. The reason for my desperate need for tea was 3 out of 4 family members got a stomach virus, me included, over Thanksgiving. I had no desire to eat or drink anything until today. The positive side of things is at least my husband and I did not gain any holiday pounds from Thanksgiving dinner. We will have to make up for it at Christmas!
Anyway, we are much better and this tea is great! The smell from the pouch is so coconut-y! The taste is coconut/vanilla. I am not really getting the “crust” part of the pie. I added some rock sugar to this cup. Next cup I think I will try adding some milk in addition to sugar. It is a delightful cup of coconut tea!
I really love this tea! I think I am becoming addicted to this one… funny because I do not drink coffee. Today I made another latte with Java Vana, milk and chocolate syrup! Yummy- made my morning at work almost bearable and made a coworker envious. I will have to make two tomorrow morning!
Today I attempted to make my first ever tea latte… I decided to use this tea and then warmed some milk, added some rock sugar and a little caramel syrup. I do not have a milk frother yet (may have to get one) so I just used a little hand held mixer that I used to use to mix baby formula. Not sure if this is how lattes are made or not but this is super yummy!!!!!
This tea reminded me of Celestial Seasonings Candy cane lane only this one has a black tea base. This was not that remarkable, I think the mint/candycane flavor could have been stronger. But the cuteness factor of this tea rocked! Little mini- candy canes in the tea!!! SO cute! I will drink this again but do not feel the need to go out and buy some to hoard until next Christmas.
