561 Tasting Notes
I am SO excited to have reached the 500 different teas reviewed mark! I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to have reached this number within 5 years. I wanted to make sure it was a special tea to associate with, so I chose a Peppermint tea (my favorite tea EVER!) and this brand does not disappoint. It was also fitting that I found a “Keep calm and drink tea” hanging decorative board today at Value Village. It is proudly hanging up in my kitchen.
I decided to use my last free tea coupon to try this one iced at the store. The dry leaf smelled really good. I also really like the taste of it-I am going to have to stock up on some of this with the summer tea club. Tastes mostly like berries and floral to me. It is very refreshing.
I love the pineapple smell coming from this bag of tea and it steeped a beautiful blue color. But…this tea is so nasty! It tastes medicinal and made my stomach queasy just from one sip. I think I will pass on this one and toss the rest down the drain.
I can taste the ginger but also something else that doesn’t agree with me and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am not a fan of this one.
I don’t think it was the licorice root-I like licorice. The flavor I did not like was the spiciness/bitterness at the end of the ginger taste in the tea that gave me a bad taste in my mouth (almost like they put crushed peppercorn in the blend). I am confused as to what ingredient could have caused that…
