157 Tasting Notes
TTB Review #50: While the rosettes are quite interesting visually, the flavor is bitter and lackluster. Something between dirt, wood, and smoke, but with none of the pleasant qualities. Shame, the presentation is on point, but taste-wise it missed the mark for me.
TTB Review #49: I typically love coconut in all things, but I’m starting to think I’m not a fan of it in my tea. This one was actually more palatable than some others I’ve had, but something about it just doesn’t work for me. There’s nothing particularly unpleasant about this tea, I just feel…bleh about it.
TTB Review #48: This tastes like a cup of coffee! Lots of interesting things going on here, from the toasted rice (which I think is where I’m getting the coffee notes) to the subtle notes of banana. Really I’ve never had such a coffee-esque cup of tea before. Very unique and worth trying at least once.
Flavors: Banana, Coffee, Marshmallow, Toasted Rice
TTB Review #47: Yay, a pineapple tea that doesn’t taste like juice! Really though, I’m quite happy with the amount of flavor that comes through here and that it doesn’t leave me wondering if I’m still drinking a tea. Still has a fairly astringent taste but not unpleasant by any means.
Flavors: Pineapple
TTB Review #46: I found this one a bit obnoxious. Yes, it’s sweet and has all of those notes of caramel and chocolate, but in a way that felt haphazard. It reminded me of being a kid and smelling my bag of candy right after trick-or-treating – just an overwhelming amount of disjointed sweetness. I’m sure lots of people would like it but I wasn’t a big fan.
Flavors: Candy, Caramel, Chocolate, Sugar
TTB Review #45: Holy fruit, Batman! This tastes more like a juice than a tea, and even has some “pulp” to go drive home the point that it’s VERY FRUITY. I’m not sure if there’s actually any real tea here because looking at the blend, it appears to be solely pieces of pulverized fruit. Which I guess is fine but it feels incomplete and lacking any flavor other than fruit juice. I’m now wondering how much sugar I ended up ingesting from this.
Flavors: Mango, Orange, Pineapple
