drank Teatoxy Morning by Teatoxy
894 tasting notes

Far too early a morning today, though I got off to a strong start and made pancakes. My impressions of this tea are minty, tart, rosehip, hibiscus, stevia and eulethero or eucalyptus, maybe lemongrass. The hibiscus is there but it’s not overpowering or offensive. This is really, really sweet, without the addition of anything. There’s a cooling tingle on the back of the tongue and throat.

Good but probably the least interesting of the Teatoxy teas, which I have been quite impressed by. The whole concept of detoxing doesn’t make sense to me, but these are tasty teas.

Flavors: Eucalyptus, Hibiscus, Lemongrass, Mint, Rosehips, Sweet, Tart

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I don’t get detoxing teas either.

I generally don’t buy into alternative medicine type stuff, unless there’s some research to support it being legit. I was going to skip over these at first because of the detox angle but then they sounded tasty and not full of weird stuff.

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
