I’m reading the “So what’d you think?” prompt for this tasting note over and over while trying to finish the now cold cup of this tea.
I was sooo excited about this one! I looove oatmeal cookies. But mine are spicy (cinnamon and nutmeg), and by no means taste like grape lollipop… That being said I am incredibly sad that I didn’t like this tea.
The dry tea looked promising. It had little pieces of dry oatmeal in it as well as raisins. I was so excited to try it! I waited until I was home from work and took my time opening and preparing it. First off, the smell that was exuding from the package was grape candy. I shook my head and must have looked like a confused dog with a cocked head and all. Sniffed again, and grape it was! I have never known of grape oatmeal cookies… I had high hopes that it was only the smell.
Two tsp, 12oz and 3 minutes later I had a steaming cup of tea smelling overwhelmingly of grape lollipop. No doubt… Grape lollipop steaming from my teacup. Well, maybe the oatmeal cookie is int he actual taste.
Sip one= grape lollipop + bitterness. Sugar added. Sip two= grape lollipop + sweet + a little bit bitter. Milk Added. Sip three= grape lollipop + milky + something vaguely resembling dough….
No. I do not like it Sam I am… I do not like in a box or with a fox… Hahaha…
I feel like somehow the grape flavor that was used by Frank sneaked itself into this brew. Maybe try again with spices instead of grape? I love your teas Frank, in fact a few of 52teas have quickly become my favorites, but this one missed its mark.
Now off to read a good book with Pancake tea which really makes me smile…. …And will surely make me forget the grape!
EDIT- As an afterthought, as a grape tea it isn’t bad, just not oatmeal cookie. Removing numerical rating…

Sounds good to me, i like grape lolipops lol :)
Its up for swap if you are interested! : )
Ooooh, grape! Well, at least when it arrives if I don’t get cookie out of it, it’ll be something I enjoy, and am missing in my collection!
: ) I think that if you are expecting grape, this may be quite enjoyable! : )
You are too nice! lol!
Hahaha… Being too nice isn’t necessarily always a good thing. I do tend to suffer from excessive niceness from time to time… : )
Good review for a disappointing tea. I really liked the rhyme…….it made me chuckle. :))
I think most people were disappointed in this tea. I’m sure everyone was taken back by the grape flavor that dominated.
