561 Tasting Notes
I had a little scare, but it turned out good…I steeped the tea before looking at the ingredients and noticed turmeric root. Then I got scared because I bought the new bunny nordic mug from Davidstea and the inside of it is white. I was so afraid that it would stain it a dark yellow but thankfully, it did not! Phew! This tastes like cardamom and ginger. There is also a slight sweetness to it followed by spiciness. Unfortunately, this cup isn’t for me and I do not think that I can finish it.
The smell of the dry leaf reminded me of the boxed square menthol cough drops my mom would give me as a kid when I was sick. I am guessing this was made to help with sickness. Thankfully, I am not sick at the moment, but I do want to finish my stash of sample packs from Tea Taxi, so I am going to go ahead and try this one. 8 more to go…then it is on to my CitizenTea samples haha. Must drink most of my stash before summer as I do not have hot teas in the summer very often. It’s all about the iced teas! I am so ready to say goodbye to winter this year. It’s been a long cold one. Anyway-enough rambling and back to the tea. It is surprisingly good and kind of tastes like those menthol cough drops a bit but less intense. I am also getting hints of lemon and ginger. The rooibos is nice and subtle in this blend too.
This smells so good in dry leaf-very fruity and citrus-y. Tastes fruity and citrus-y too but I find that there is too much lemon in this blend and not enough orange flavor. Still drinkable though. I finished my mini tin of this flavor but it isn’t a favorite so I won’t be restocking.
