2291 Tasting Notes

drank Paris by Harney & Sons

Cup of this during a meeting this afternoon. Again, this tea is really old. It’s not as good as it used to be.

But I still drank it!

And now I’m debating composting what’s left or continuing to drink it.

It is pretty good iced and sweet! That’s how I deplete a tea quickly.

OMGsrsly

That’s an idea, but I don’t love black teas iced. I might try it – that would definitely use up the rest of the leaves, and then if it goes down the sink, at least I tried.

I forgot how good this tea is. Again, this is super old, especially for a green tea… I got it in 2014 from Sil maybe? Not sure about the handwriting..

It’s soft. Jasmine. Forest. Some butteriness.

I think I have another cup left. I pulled this tea to finish, so I’ll probably do that tomorrow!

Revisiting this because of Crowkettle!

I found this in the back of my stash. It sadly hasn’t aged well since the last time I had it. It’s quite astringent and the flavour is mostly gone, except for the bitter from cocoa nibs!

Darn. I really liked this tea when it was fresher. (This tea is OLD. So. Not unexpected.)

Juniper Rooibos from The Capilano.

Delicious. Fruity, herbaly, and I’m very sad it can’t be bought anymore.

Finished this one up! Always so tasty.

I used what was left and brewed hot and strong, then iced it. Yum.

Thank you, B for sharing this with me ages and ages ago!

drank Black Lavender by Westholme Tea Co
2291 tasting notes

Pretty much my favourite tea. I love the Assam base, I love earl grey, and I love the heavy hit of lavender.

So good either plain or with milk/sugar. Once my mom sends me more (she’s my tea supplier these days!) I’ll have to make it as a latte, all fancy with steamed milk and everything.

Sil sent me this One ages and ages ago too.

It’s uhh, not my cup of tea.

Thank you for sharing, Sil. Is this revenge for all the earl greys???

Sil

if you’d had this in the same year i sent it to you maybe i could tell you :P

OMGsrsly

Yeah, I know I really fell out of favour with tea…

From Sil. :)

Just a sweet black tea. Little bit floral, tiny bit earthy.

Sipping on it as I try to get into the readings I have for class… not having much luck TBH. Maybe I just need to read the abstracts and identify what the method is.

I think this might be a pumpkin spice blend from Bulk Barn?

Maybe???

At any rate, it’s fine. Nothing special. Not super pumpkiny. Nothing fancy for the spices. I’ll drink it, but probably won’t get any spice teas from Bulk Barn again.

drank Mango Fruit Punch by DAVIDsTEA
2291 tasting notes

I think I only made this twice with a 54g package. (It’s uhh, dated May 9 2018 folks…)

It’s tasty. I like the pineapple base which means I can drink it. It’s iced. It’s hydrating. It’s a little tart weirdly so it could probably have done with some sweetener but I’ll still drink it.

Yep.

Also, steepster is still super annoying on the phone, huh.
