For some reason, my husband said that this smells like funnel cake when it’s brewed. I guess it smells good for a dessert tea.
It tastes just like you would expect it to. The green tea is very mellow, and the lavender is pretty noticeable too. My husband thinks it’s rather “creamy.” I’m not a big fan of lavender, but this tea is still pretty enjoyable. Overall it is a light tea, not heavy on any strong flavors.
Feel free to add me on Steepster, I’ll probably add you back. :)
I don’t log tea every time I drink it. Tasting notes tend to be about either one style of brewing or a new experience. It is helpful for me to look back on my notes and see what a tea tasted like or which steeping parameter worked best for me. I try to mostly short steep tea unless it only tastes better with a long steep. I’d rather experience what a tea tastes like over 3 or 12 steeps than just 1 to 3 long steeps.
When I write “tsp”, the measurement I use is a regular western teaspoon. Not a tea scoop
How I rate tea:
99-100: Teas that blow my mind! An unforgettable experience. Savoured to the last drop. I felt privileged to drink this.
90-98: Extraordinary, highly recommended, try it and you won’t be disappointed (and if you are, mail me the tea!)
85-89: Wonderful, couldn’t expect more but not a favourite.
80-84: Excellent, a treasured experience but not a favourite.
70-79: Good but could be better. Above average.
60-69: Average, unexceptional, not something I would buy again. Slightly disappointed. I’d rather drink water.
50-0: Varying degrees of sadness
No rating: Mixed feelings, can’t decide whether I like it or not, not enough experience with that sort of tea to rate it. A dramatic change of heart.
