491 Tasting Notes
Part of Happy Luckys matcha madness bracket this year, it’s a strong contender. Chocolate and earthy with a touch of vanilla. The chicory comes through at the end so you know it’s not actually a dark chocolate bar you are tasting. I might be tempted to buy more of this!
Flavors: Chicory, Chocolate, Earthy, Vanilla
Sipdown! I overleafed the last cup I had of this as I was wondering if it would bring out the pumpkin flavor. Seems that it did the trick, but it is a bit heavy on the clove too. Not my favorite from OBTC but I’m glad I got to try. I do like the honeybush base, but not enough for a future purchase.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Pumpkin, Sweet, Vanilla
I debated about adding this to my recent OBT order, but I still have half a tin of each (which makes a full tin combined), it was difficult to leave this out but OBThas so many good blends! Not too coconuty and not too vanilla, just the right amount of each. Hopefully a cupboard staple for me.
Flavors: Coconut, Marshmallow, Vanilla
From Martin, thanks! This is clove and more clove, but it is cold in Chicago so I’m not minding the clove as it warms me up. It is a very one note tea, I can’t tell if there is green tea here or the goji berries. It was very smooth, and not astringent. Glad I got to try!
Flavors: Clove
Advent tea! My cup it too big this morning so this brewed kinda weak, but this is a nice black tea to start the day. The citrus note at the end is very subtle, similar to a bergamot note, but not so sharp. Don’t like it enough to purchase, but it was nice to try.
Flavors: Astringent, Chocolate, Citrus, Malt
Another one from tea-sipper, thanks! This one is nice and smooth, does well with a long steep. I like the second steep better than the first as it has more of the pumpkin flavor. Interesting tea, not a whole lot of clove you would expect in the pumpkin chai variety, more like pumpkin/cinnamon/nutmeg.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Pumpkin, Sweet
Ha! I thought this Chocolate Aire would go a ways through the bracket, but it was beat by Kheer Chai in the first round. Clove beats chicory?
