New Tasting Notes
Tea with attitude (and altitude). I like the idea of “Damn Fine Tea.” Damn fine packaging too. This is the first Nepal tea I’ve tasted and it reminds me a lot of a darjeeling I have in my cupboard. The recommended steep time was 3 minutes, and I let it sit about a minute too long…
Smells like Rice Cakes before steeping – it smells more like typical Green Tea after steeping! I used to not like this tea much but I am truly a believer in the thought that our tastes change. This is a pleasant and FUN Tea. You can even see the popped rice (often mistaken for popCORN).
Heiße Liebe means “Hot Love” in German. This tea’s description is “Früchtetee mit Himbeer-Vanille Aroma” which means “Fruit tea with raspberry and vanilla flavor.”
The vanilla flavor is very subtle, and compliments the sweet, intense flavor of raspberry. Sweet enough on its own, this tea needs no sweeteners at all. Very, very soothing. I’m enjoying it a lot.
