2285 Tasting Notes
Thanks for this sample, getanzt! This one definitely tastes tropical, though I wouldn’t guess pina colada specifically. I taste coconut and some other fruit that I suppose could be pineapple. There’s also something tart in there like hibiscus, though that’s not too strong, sort of just a base flavor to fill it out.
Free sample from Adagio. The turmeric scent here is so strong that I wasn’t looking forward to it. I put it in the fridge, and actually it’s pretty good! It’s mildly spiced and a bit fruity. I wouldn’t buy this, but I’d totally drink it again. The turmeric isn’t too much at all. The lemon flavor is quite natural and refreshing, yet not at all sour. What a nice surprise!
Sample from getanzt. Hot, this tastes mostly like plants and a little flowery. Once it cools down, I taste the heavily alcohol-tasting chocolate flavoring, like I noticed in their Florence tea. It’s really not for me. I shared the cup with someone else who also said it tasted like alcohol.
The apple here tastes pretty authentic. I enjoyed this single teabag from the TTB cold. I would totally drink this again. It’s just fresh juicy apple. I actually didn’t like it at first, but it really grew on me. I wish I had a few more bags!
I wanted to like this, but it was so bitter and gross I had to pour it out. I could taste a bit of lemon, but there were too many other negative flavors there. I grabbed this little packet of powder out of the last TTB.
Thanks to getanzt for this tea! Dare I say that I might like it even more than Tazo’s glazed lemon loaf? The lemon cake flavor comes through so clearly. It’s sweet from the stevia, and it tastes so desserty and genuinely cakey. It’s wild how realistic this is! I’ll have to order a box to see if my next impression is as great as my first.
This one didn’t turn out as light and delicate as I prefer in my green rooibos blends. The main thing I taste is slightly tart fruit. It has possibly too many different flavors going on, so it didn’t combine as smoothly as I would have liked. Underleafing may help. It was still enjoyable cold, just not as great as these blends usually are.
