2302 Tasting Notes

This tastes a bit like sugar cookie sleigh ride from Celestial Seasonings, which I was glad to find a box of this holiday season after a few years without. I’m kind of obsessed with how sparkly this tea is. It also tastes somewhat like the various forever nuts spinoffs. Not bad, just not special, and a little weak. Pleasant with milk and sugar overleafed.

I couldn’t remember exactly what this tea was called, so in my notes I have it written as “stalactites” which isn’t the furthest off! It’s lightly fruity and a little coconutty. I love a lemongrass-heavy tea. It’s really refreshing cold! I remove the butterfly pea flower so I don’t have to taste that flavor. Frustratingly, the coconut is starting to turn already.

drank Mango Lemonade Green Tea by 52teas

I wouldn’t have guessed this was supposed to be lemonade. It’s not tart at all, more soft and desserty. I made sure to pay attention in my final cup, and I definitely got a green mango sort of vibe, though I wouldn’t have minded if it had veered more toward ripe mango.

drank Wild Marshmallow by 52teas

I definitely taste the marshmallow! It’s pillowy and nice. My second cup of this was a little average. I think you need to drink this one cold to appreciate it. I refrigerated my final cup overnight, and it was creamy and pleasant with a lot of black tea shining through as well.

I was staying with a family friend in NY for the eclipse, and they had this local tea, which I tried a cup of. It was a little sour/tart and thin. Not bad cold and sweetened, but not great. The ingredient list is a little too straightforward for my general tastes though.

This is quite fake tasting, but not bad cold. I taste a pretty even mix of peach and raspberry flavoring, but I would have preferred more of a fresh flavor combo.

Kool-aid?

Hmm not exactly like that, more like how you can taste the alcohol base when using imitation vanilla in a recipe if that makes sense!

Though I didn’t love this tea at first, I think paying better attention to my steeping parameters has really helped me appreciate it. I do sort of get a Biscoff vibe from this! I guess it’s not named Biscoff anymore, but my bag from May of 2023 still says that. It tastes cookie-ish and nicely desserty with milk and sugar. Not bad at all!

TTB tea! Actually, this is quite hearty and tasty. With sugar and milk, it’s not bad at all. A nice plain black tea!

drank Aloha Blend by Plum Deluxe
2302 tasting notes

This is quite a decent EG. The strongest flavor I get is a banana, then I taste a bit of the bergamot. It could all be heartier, but I like it! With sugar and milk, I find this to be very fun and tropical – I’ve enjoyed my 1 oz bag!

drank Oolong Creme by Sloane Tea Company
2302 tasting notes

Not a bad milk oolong! The oolong itself is a little floral. There’s some butteriness, though I would have enjoyed even more. It lasted for two quick cold resteeps as well. It was my favorite tea from our afternoon tea.

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
