2274 Tasting Notes
I got a box of this a while back because I finished my vanilla Comoro and, uhh, with the borders closed I can’t exactly visit my friend in Chicago and restock my teas…
It’s ok. I feel bad saying that as I used to drink this tea all the time. It’s not a strong tea, and the bergamot is just there. Idk. Am I just having trouble with earl grey teas these days? I’ve been slowly looking for a new one but I haven’t settled on anything yet.
Lunchtime tea. I had 2 coffees already today, so it’s time to think about drinking things without caffeine. I haven’t had this one in ages, and it’s definitely past its prime, but it’s still delicious. I would consider reordering if I didn’t have so many other teas…
Just another herbal thing I’m trying to drink up. Even though turmeric tastes strongly of dirt to me, I do like this one with the vanilla and cinnamon.
I usually drink it as a latte with a touch of honey, and tonight is no exception. Just need to finish it before I ensconce myself in bed, because my duvet and sheets are all white… very aesthetic, but not very practical.
My other review of this is under one of the Yunnan sourcing entries.
It’s been a while since I had a tea quite like this. I’ve been drinking a lot of black teas and herbal teas, trying to get through my stash. But uhh, I have a LOT of puerh I need to drink.
This one, uhh, tastes wet. Yeah I know, tea is wet. But it gives the impression of leaf mulch. The damp understory of a forest. That kind of wet.
But it has body. A little tannin. Some sweetness.
Not what I’m used to drinking these days, but a nice change.
Ahh yes. Thank goodness I had a previous note on this one. Something shared with Dexter. (I have SO MUCH puerh shared with Dexter, it’s almost frightening).
This is really nice. Smooth. Spicy. Easy to drink. Easy to steep. Honestly if this were looser it’d be a great one for my parents. They don’t really do cakes, tho.
I’m really glad I don’t get rid of more teaware. Will I continue to use it? Who knows. But I’m enjoying it all today.
Yep, I found a tea I can finish! I love the sweet resinous taste of the pine needles. Definitely need to ID some trees and can some spruce tip syrup or something in the spring.
Oh my gosh. The pine needles in this tea were harvested from a place I once called home. Haha! I feel like Brenden is part of the same constellation I inhabit. It wouldn’t surprise me if we’ve crossed paths at some point.
Hello hello.
I went through my teas today, organized things, bagged teas that I like to drink but don’t want to clean a strainer for, etc.
And I found a tin of samples. Heh.
This one is from Sil. I do like it. It’s sweet. A bit sharp as raw puerh can be. I don’t have anything excellent to say about it. Just. It’s nice. I appreciate drinking it today. Thanks!
