drank Peach Infusion by Fusion Teas
2317 tasting notes

There’s probably a little too much hibiscus in this tea, so it’s a bit tart. I taste some deep juicy peach, but it’s not as delicious as it could be. It’s a nice enough cold cup of tea, but not one I need again. Thanks for sharing, getanzt!

drank Tulsi Sweet Rose by Organic India
2317 tasting notes

The rose here is so strong, but it’s actually okay. There’s that sour rose flavor, but for some reason I’m fine with it cold today. The herbaceous tulsi flavor balances it all. I think I grabbed this bag from the last TTB.

drank Cherry Cosmo by Tea Forte
2317 tasting notes

TTB sample! I usually drink fruit teas cold, but I tried a bit of this warm and thought the candylike cherry was quite pleasant. I had the rest cold, and it got a little too tart for me, and some less wonderful flavors pushed their way in. It also seemed thinner and just all around less special.

Cherry teas that don’t make your tongue shrivel up are hard to find, aren’t they?

This one smells way too vegetal for me, but I’m hoping the flavor will be different. I’m drinking this cold, and I only taste vanilla/cream flavor with just a bit of a plant flavor in the background. It tastes way better than I imagined, but it’s a bummer that the grapefruit doesn’t come through at all. I shared the cup with someone else who agreed about the flavor. Nice cream flavoring though.

That’s exactly how my friend and I felt when we tried it. I had a sample but have never ordered it. The vanilla and cream aspect was super. Only tasted grapefruit when it cooled and not impressed with that part, but worth it for the vanilla.

drank Caramel Shortbread by DAVIDsTEA
2317 tasting notes

I’m sure I’ve tried this one before, but it looks like there’s no review from me on here. I grabbed a single teabag of this from the last TTB. This gets terrible reviews, but I actually like it. It doesn’t quite reach caramel or shortbread, but it does taste pleasantly desserty with some milk and sugar.

Teabag from the last TTB. I was really hoping to taste the yuzu or really anything fresh and fruity at all. Sadly, I just tasted grassy green tea. It wasn’t terrible, but plain tasting green tea is not my thing.

drank Green Popcorn by Adagio Teas
2317 tasting notes

Single teabag from the last TTB. This is a pretty classic genmaicha. I can taste the green tea plus the roastiness. It’s not as smooth and wonderful as one from 52teas, but it equals basically any non-specialty place you might get one.

This tastes like many other cherry teas I’ve tried. It doesn’t taste like cherries specifically, more like cherry candy. It’s a bit tart. It’s okay cold, just a bit fake tasting and not that delicious, really almost medicinal. I wouldn’t want another cup, but it was still fun to try from getanzt!

Thanks to getanzt for this one! This is tart and a bit interesting. It has a little bit of spice and a tartness that isn’t overly sour. I drank this cold. Some sips are more intriguing than others. I find myself wavering between wishing for future cups and finding this unremarkable.

drank Raspberry Black by Maya Tea
2317 tasting notes

From the TTB. I can taste a light raspberry flavor on top of an average black base. This wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t flavorful enough for me to want very much unfortunately.

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
