drank Lime Marshmallow Mate by 52teas
1433 tasting notes

This April 2020 blend appears to be a close relative of my much loved and coveted Lime Marshmallow Salad (I still have some of that blend from years back and it only comes in second for being the oldest green tea in my stash. The honour of such an infamous prize goes to Butiki’s With Open Eyes).

So, yeah, This and Lime Jello Salad… Most of the similarities are in the aroma of the dry blend. The two types of Yerba Mate used create a roasted earthy profile base whereas the Jello is bit more of a raw veggie base. Both are good and spark joy. Both are also being consumed cold right now. Life is solid.

I’d probably order more if I see it as a large pack on 52tea’s website (love the flavoured yerba mate and guayusa blends).

Flavors: Candy, Citrus Fruits, Earth, Forest Floor, Lime, Marshmallow, Roasted

I think that this one will be added to the website fairly early tomorrow morning. I don’t recall if I have a large pouch of it, ,but since you are a subscriber, if I do have some of the large, I will hold on to one of them for you if you want it. Let me know!

52Teas

Oh, I also meant to say – I love the way this one turned out. The lime and the mate seem to be very well suited to one another.

Thank you for the info and offer, Anne! Depending what’s in store tomorrow, I may even go with a couple small pouches. No need to put anything aside for me! :)

And yeah, I’m really glad you came up with this pairing! It fills a bit of the niche left by Butiki’s citrusy guayusa blends and is also a great contrast to your Malted ChocoMate! :)

52Teas

I’m hoping to get some guayusa in stock by mid-fall. I’m not sure that will happen, but I’m hoping it will. :)

52Teas

Just did the count – no large ones of this one! Sorry!

52Teas

However, if you do order some – or place any order, really – if you want me to hold on to the order until it’s time to ship subscriptions, I can ship the two things together and refund you the shipping charges of the new order. :)

Thank you! I took you up on that suggestion; just had to wait until Melon tea was on the website!

Profile

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS/NOTES:

DESSERT FLAVOURS
Vanilla, Maple, Caramel, Butterscotch, Cream, Toffee, Nougat, Marzipan, Butter

FRUIT & BERRIES
Citrus Fruits, Passionfruit, Banana, Pineapple, Melons, Blackberry, Raspberry, Currants, Elderberry, Persimmon, Rhubarb..

SPICES
Ginger, Turmeric, Clove-forward chai, Cardamom

AROMATIC & HERBACEOUS NOTES
Sandalwood, Frankincense, Juniper, Eucalyptus, Mints

FLORALS
Lavender, Jasmine, Rose, Lilac, Violet, etc.

VEGGIE/GRAIN NOTES
Spinach, Grass, Hay, Cucumber, Rice, Sweet Potato

Less Preferred Flavours/Ingredients:
Stevia, Apple, Cocoa Nib, Almond, Licorice, Cinnamon-forward blends, Chinese Sencha

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
