270 Tasting Notes
So, I’ve opened up my first tab, at this not so little coffee shop. There is a $5 minimum on credit/debit purchases so I couldn’t get just one tea bag. I must be close to one of the colleges as there are plenty of people here after seven to satisfy my love of people watching.
I was saddened to see, of course after I plopped the tea bag in my mug and poured the water over, that blueberry flavor was the SIXTH item in the ingredient list.
These stash teas are okay but I’m finding myself thinking that I should have brewed something in a tumbler and had the boyfriend drop me at a library instead. These are plain compared to most tea I have at home. These are sort of like flavored water to me for some reason. They are fine to drink in a setting like this but I doubt I will purchase them for my stash.
Sitting a new coffee shop while the boyfriend attends a meeting. I was proud of myself by asking for their tea menu while I was considering ordering their hot chocolate. I love that tea has no calories and helps me stay in goal!
This tea is making me happy. It is tart, sweet, strong, and fruity. There is hibiscus in the title but it is not overtaking the cup like it often does. I absolutely love the color.
Wow does Oolong expand! This took up my whole PerfecTea maker! I’ll have to watch it next time. This tea isn’t one of my favorites but still an enjoyable cup. This particular cup didn’t have much strawberry in it :/
Preparation
Why is it that when I finally have a day off and decide to try to sip down some of my teas, the ones in my “drink me first” box don’t look appealing? Instead I reached for this tasty treat this morning. I do add two packets of Stevia to it, that’s just me though. It has a smooth, sort of coffee-like (maybe) taste to it. I don’t get much mint but overall I do enjoy this one.
Counting on the caffeine to give me the kick I need to make the most out of this chilly day off.
