A is for… Amaretto Pears with Cream!
Second tea of the day, and another green – this seems to be a bit of a theme. I like this tea less than the previous one, perhaps because it has less flavour, but as I’m drinking it room temp I’m noticing some flavours that I’d previously missed, and they are making me appreciate it a bit more. Definitely getting the creaminess now, as well as some pear. I’m unfamiliar with amaretto; maybe there’s some of that too? It’s all coming out in the aftertaste though – initial sips are not very appealing, kind of a basic flavoured green taste. Very interesting. If I was rating based on the aftertaste alone, this tea might even squeak into the 80s, but as is, I think it’s just a 70. I don’t mind teas with a nice aftertaste, but I’d prefer the whole sip was tasty, and just left me with tastiness at the end, too!

This is my first tea from 52Teas and I’ve been meaning to try them for quite a while now. Especially since they are local.
The pear and the green tea both come through in this tea together. I’m not getting any amaretto which is a bit disappointing but there is definitely a strong ‘Cream’ note throughout the cup that reminds me of heavy cream. Yum, I would say that this is probably not a tea for someone who doesn’t like green tea (I love green tea myself) because the green tea base comes through pretty strong in this one. I can’t think of another tea I’ve tried that has a true cream note as this one does. I don’t know that this one would be a repurchase for me only because I have quite a few other pear teas that I love and have a bit more going on. If this was reblended and the amaretto was discernable it would definitely make this tea stand out more.

Your first 52teas! And they are local! I don’t even know if you can visit 52teas? Or you can only buy online?
I think you can only buy online but I’ve been meaning to ask Anne if I can just pick them up in person. Well once Covid isn’t a worry anymore.
We’re an online company only – but Lexie – we can work something out – meet somewhere to get the tea if you’re in Vancouver? We also head to Portland about once a week or so – if you’re in Vancouver. But we’ll need to arrange for such a thing when the scare of covid is over because my SO is one in the very risky category. But we can definitely work something out – just contact me via our contact page when you’re ready to do something like that.
@Tea-Sipper – we don’t have a brick & mortar yet – we hope to eventually have one somewhere in Portland. I figure for our limited edition type of thing – 52Teas would fit in perfectly with the weirdness that is Portland. Vancouver might be a bit too normal for us.
My dream is to have a tea & treats kind of place that would offer our teas with treats that match some of our unique flavors. :)
I actually live in Vancouver (: My family and I are also in the high-risk category as well so I totally understand. Hope you guys are staying safe.
