1629 Tasting Notes
I got this tea from my secret santa, seykayay who also gave me tons of tea goodies! I was really excited and decided to try this one first. A little goes a long way for this one. It smells so yummy! Delicious! The liquor is yellow.
I love milk oolong! This one is so good. Buttery, creamy, and smooth. :) I love this one.
Preparation
It smells like powdered vanilla flavored milk. The taste is so mild and there was enough for 2 separate steepings. The first time I had it, I had forgotten about it in the kitchen, and I remember it being mild in taste and not bitter at all. Very forgiving.
This time, I split it between 2 mugs for me and my boyfriend. It is delicious but nothing I would reach for often. Something is strange about the vanilla flavoring. Again… powdered milk with vanilla flavoring…
Preparation
My mom and dad gave me a bunch of teas, herbals, and tea accessories! This being one of them. Yum! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! It smells like raspberries and is so delicious! This blend is slightly tart but the raspberry is prominent. It is naturally sweet as well. I imagine that this one would taste great iced.
Preparation
In general, I’m afraid of Pu-erh. I have tried it a few times in the past, and I still own one, but I rarely drink it. When I randomly grabbed one from my sample box, I ended up with pu-erh. Hesitantly, I opened it and put the leaves into the gaiwan. The scent was familiar and earthy but light.
Upon steeping, it brewed a medium-dark red brown. It smells familiar too. The taste was unexpected. It was light and smooth; sweet and malty; earthy but not overwhelmingly so. CHOCOLATE. WOW. I was pleasantly surprised. I steeped this again and again, and it still held up. The brew became lighter and sweeter.
Very good tea :) I got to enjoy my favorite little fish tea cups with them too!
Preparation
It looked really pretty in my little kyusu… but the flavor? where is it? or are my tastebuds gone? It left a buttery oily feeling in my mouth. It is very very light. I didn’t notice any candied pineapple in the notes. Pretty meh.
