258 Tasting Notes
While I was super excited for this blend as I love Apple and cinnamon… it just didn’t do it for me. It was very lightly Appley and had no spice or caramel as expected. I steeped another cup to see if I didn’t steep it long enough but… nope I did it right lol.
Flavors: Apple Skins, Brisk, Watery
Preparation
25 is being nice… unless someone else wants it, it’s gonna be composted. It tastes like bitter lipton tea mixed with nail polish remover? Smells good but ew….
Flavors: Acidic, Alcohol, Astringent, Dirt, Flat, Tangy, Vodka
Well, tastes certainly do change huh? I have to bump this score up a pretty good amount lol. I made a big pot because I recently grabbed a box of sachets because they were on clearance and I was like hmm… it has been a while since I tried it (almost a year) and wow! I really love this blend!!
I don’t know what it is, it’s perfect for me. I love spice like in chai and such but when it’s overwhelming I get headaches. This however, it perfect… the spice, pumpkin, and bergamot are all well balanced in this blend.
I can see how the spice could overwhelm the bergamot but I found that the bergamot is more noticeable when iced rather than hot. I think that my favorite way to drink this blend is hot with no additions but it’s really good iced, as a latte, and as an iced latte! I may need to grab a few more hehe…
Flavors: Alcohol, Candy, Caramel, Cardamom, Cider, Cinnamon, Clove, Earl Grey, Frosting, Pumpkin, Sugar, Vanilla
This is a kind of hit-or-miss blend for me, I mean I want to like it but I’m not sure I do… It’s a very bitter oolong, mixed with a light puerh, and an astringent green tea. It’s lightly peachy and floral but unless it’s cold brewed it’s not… hitting the spot.
Flavors: Acidic, Alcohol, Astringent, Bitter, Earth, Peach
