435 Tasting Notes
I’m not a fan of white tea in general, but I like this one. Dunno if I can actually taste the pear or ginger, but its a general berry flavor with a floral aftertaste on the first steep only. I might try this as a cold brew.
Flavors: Berry, Floral, Sweet
Michelle – A friend (Sandy here on Steepster) has just moved to Colorado and plans to go to Happy Lucky Tea House sometime. I know Bonnie used to go a lot. Have you ever been in person or do you just order from them?
I have been in person, they are good people, but tell her to go when it’s not so crowded for better service. It’s one of my favorite tea houses :)
More lime than hibiscus, but its smooth and has a nice caffeine kick. Nice to try, and have on hand for a sleepiness emergency.
Flavors: Lime
This tea has so much potential and yet it just does not deliver. I do taste the maple and the cinnamon and the nutmeg, but no berries and no apple. I think I like the spice profile on the peach cobbler better and that got my vote today. Its kinda cool tasting two teas per day and voting with others to see which tea advances.
Part of the matcha madness this month. The dry leaf smells amazing and much like a pie. The first steep tasted very cobbler-like, cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla. Not so much peach. The second steep is just a muted version of the first. A nice cuppa, not sure I’d purchase.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Sweet, Vanilla
I tried a bag from the TTB and then bought a box online. This tea isn’t bad, it has a bit of an astringent bite so you know it is tea, and a nice jammy note at the end. I might prefer Taylor’s Assam for a caffeine kick, but this is a close second for a nice cuppa from a bag.
