180 Tasting Notes

TTB Review #27: Definitely has prominent notes of peaches but perhaps not as fresh as I would have liked. All the same, I feel this one would be more enjoyable as a cold brew. Could definitely see it pairing nicely with a grilled meal.

Flavors: Peach

drank Silencio by August Uncommon Tea

TTB Review #26: Really enjoyed this one! The sweetness of the pineapple and chocolate juxtaposed with the tartness of pepper and spices made this full of complex and rich flavors. Very very enjoyable.

TTB Review #25: Utterly unremarkable. Am I drinking tea or hot water with merely an essence of tea flavor? Could be either, really. Very disappointing, to say the least.

Haven’t had this one, but the one from Teavivre was amazing.

TTB Review #24: This one bears creamy notes with hints of vanilla and fruit. Started off hot but I found it more enjoyable the more it cooled. Overall the profile feels complex and sophisticated.

Flavors: Cream, Fruity, Vanilla

TTB Review #23: I don’t have much to say on this one. It was fine. Acceptable. Average. Nothing special, nothing to write home about, and nothing to really complain about either (aside from its blandness, perhaps).

drank Honey Scented Black Tea by Wolf Tea

TTB Review #22: Oh no, I don’t like this one at all. Tastes like stale, burnt popcorn. I guess that unpleasant thick buttery taste is supposed to be the honey? In any case, I actually couldn’t finish this, such was my level of disgust with the taste. Definitely not my cup of tea.

TTB Review #21: Perhaps the most potent green tea I have ever tasted. Somewhat astringent, grassy, earthy. This feels like the epitome of a green tea, unflavored and unadulterated.

drank White White Cocoa by T2

TTB Review #20: Yum! I LOVE coconut so I already had a good feeling about this tea. I was not disappointed – the tea is sweet but not overly so, the coconut and cocoa go together nicely, and I could definitely see this as a dessert tea. I did find that it left somewhat of a bitter aftertaste which is why I’m not giving it a higher rating.

Flavors: Chocolate, Coconut, Milk

TTB Review #19: Hooray, a rose tea with actual rose flavor! Still not as prominent as I would have liked but at least I can actually taste its presence. Numi continues to be my favorite rose tea, I await the day that something takes its place as my number one.

Have you tried Rose Scented by Harney and Sons? Powerful rose!

Rose Congou by Upton used to be super popular but it is sold out right now – restocking in the spring. I guess that means it is still very popular,

I haven’t tried either of those, will add them to my list! Thanks for the recommendations!

Oh, and Minnie Mouse blend by Harney is rose and caramel. I enjoy that one, too, but it is only available in sachets. Free shipping all the time on any dollar amount makes me try more teas than I would if I had to pay shipping g every time a whim hit!

TTB Review #18: Yummy! The violet flavor is quite strong but not overpowering. I could definitely see this being marketed as a dessert tea. I can also distinguish the chocolate and vanilla notes. Overall very enjoyable.

I really liked this one!
