121 tasting notes

I’ve been hitting duds lately when it comes to drinking black tea, hence why I have been adding a ton of green tea tasting notes. I found this sitting in my cupboard and thought of steeping it. I received this as a sample in the last Lupicia newsletter and I’ve never tried it before. This tea is very light with a subtle taste of strawberry. I’m considering of giving black teas another chance after tasting this one. I can’t go wrong with Lupicia, they’re flavors are usually spot on and delicate. Just stay away from the teas on sale, those tend to be a little funky.

PSA: Don’t try with milk, it’s pretty gross.

I’ve been really curious about this one, I think I might try it out next time around – I love Lupicia’s light, clear approach to black teas.

And have you tried their Cookie? I know you like Butiki’s Caramel Vanilla Assam, so you and Cookie should really get along.

Ana

Funny you mention that because today a sample of Cookie just came in the mail!

Anna

I’m SO excited about your tasting note now, although I worry I might have raised your expectations too much.

Mmm, just the smell of it. I could live in my tin.

Ana

I’ve been wanting to try it since I received an email on how to make a tea au lait with Cookie.

Anna

I haven’t tried it with milk, but I’m pretty sure it would be completely ridiculous. Also thinking iced milk tea for summer.

Profile

Bio

I became a tea addict after I decided to make some changes to my diet and cut out soda completely.

Teas I like
I love Japanese green teas but I can be a little snobby about them. When I was in Japan I stayed in an area known for sencha, so I can be pretty picky.

Companies I enjoy
I’ve had most experience with Lupicia because they’re very close to me. I enjoy their non flavored green teas and white teas the most. Their flavored teas are good, but it’s usually a hit or miss.
DavidsTea is a bit far but when I make trips to San Francisco I usually buy a bit. I like their herbal teas the most. Their other teas never wow me and have too much flavoring for me.
I like Adagio for their fan blends – I wish more companies did this! The tea isn’t the best quality but I do enjoy my initial steeps.
I found a store near me that sells Mariage Frères. They’re expensive but I don’t think I have had a more delicious cup of tea before.

Tibits about me
I returned to school several years ago and I am finally graduating in March 2014 so I’m really excited to finally be receiving my bachelor’s. I spend my evenings when I’m not studying watching cheesy scifi movies, playing video games, watching video game streams, or stalking the internet for tea. I have an adorable old man kitty who always wants whatever I’m drinking. When I can, I like to sew and knit while I marathon BBC shows or asian dramas.
