drank Thin Minty by BrutaliTeas
294 tasting notes

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and to everyone else, happy last Sunday of the year! We have nothing on the calendar, nowhere to be and no one to host today. Honestly, that’s a perfect way to celebrate in my book.

I did better at keeping up with the advents than usual! I do want to keep reviewing them for my own notes, so I apologize in advance that these aren’t over on my end yet.

I actually steeped this up yesterday afternoon and spent a good portion of the evening trying to convince myself I liked it. I found the chocolate and mint quite well-balanced and enjoyable, when this combo is so often just off in other teas. But while it would have been a smash hit on a different base, the aftertaste was too much rooibos for me to like.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
