S&V Advent Day 8! The base turned out a bit harsh for me, even steeped properly. I taste the fruitiness that reminds me of dried strawberries. Nothing tastes like chocolate or cream. It’s just a pretty basic strawberry green tea. I left it in the fridge overnight and thought it tasted better in the morning. Still not special, but serviceable.

This one seems to be a fail on all fronts, ha ha.

I wonder if companies read reviews of their teas on this site. There’s quite a consensus on this tea. :P

And well Steepster seems to be souce for unbiased reviews as I collaborate with company which told me that my notes brought, at least, visitors to their website.

That’s encouraging. It’s nice to think that our reviews can draw attention to good teas and possibly help improve the duds. (The bad reviews are often the funniest to read, but I’m sure not for the vendors.)

Aw, I thought this tea was pretty enjoyable. But this was a “harvest” from years ago now I’m basing that on… maybe this new batch for the advents is a fluke…

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
