1789 Tasting Notes

Yummmmmm. This is the tea that made me place my first Dessert By Deb order. I love hojicha, and feel like it’s so under-utilized in flavored blends. The maple is subtle and works really well here. It’s bready, and the cinnamon is bold. It really tastes like a toasted piece of cinnamon swirl bread. Tried with and without oat milk, and both ways are tasty. I think I prefer with milk.

Silent Kettle

I agree! It is super delicious as a latte

drank Canberra Breakfast by T2

Perfectly average. A bit of cinnamon and chocolate. The vanilla taste is somewhat artificial.

drank Krampistachio by BrutaliTeas

I haven’t had a cup of this in awhile, so decided to indulge. It’s just as wonderful as I remember. Perfectly nutty, with a bit of cranberry and the delicious marzipan.

Having this again this morning. SO GOOD. Perfectly creamy, with just a bit of salt. I’m going to have to place a DF to grab more of this. I’ve also decided to grab their advent again. I wasn’t going to…but I can’t resist.

VariaTEA

It’s such a pretty advent. I had it last year and their designs are always just so nice. Also this tea is delicious. I want to do a side-by-side of this and Salted Caramel Oolong by DAVIDsTEA.

I had it last year too, and it was indeed so beautiful! I was going to try something new instead, but it’s even lovelier this year, so I can’t resist.
That sounds like a wonderful comparison! I haven’t been able to get my hands on the DT’s Salted Caramel Oolong. It keeps selling out on the US site. :(

TTB. I think I tried this one quite awhile ago, but I don’t have any tasting notes on it and honestly can’t remember anything about it. I don’t like it. It just tastes like butter with a hint of some nuttiness. The butteriness is just so assaulting I can’t really enjoy it.

TTB. I’ve been wanting to try this blend for some time (lychee? black genmaicha??), so was so happy to finally have a chance to try it. SO GOOD. The lychee works so well with the roastiness of the genmaicha, and the boldness of the black tea. I’ll definitely have to repurchase this one. Thank you for sharing, Roswell!

This sounds so interesting and unique!

drank Eggnog by T2
1789 tasting notes

This is terrible. Couldn’t get past a sip. Not eggnog in the slightest. Sickeningly sweet vanilla flavoring, and stevia. Blech.

TTB. Another tea kindly included in the box per my request, thanks Roswell! This is absolutely wonderful. It’s a salted caramel shortbread in a cup. Caramel+oolong is a match made in heaven.

drank Mulled Wine Magic by T2
1789 tasting notes

This does indeed taste like mulled wine. The hibiscus is appropriate here, helping to create a tart wine base. Some nice orange present, with a lovely blend of spices. Clove and anise are dominant.

Flavors: Anise, Clove, Orange Zest, Sour

I drank through my small stash of this last year, so I was anxiously awaiting its return. It’s as good as I remember, and perhaps my favorite pumpkin tea. The sweet, caramelized vanilla note works so well with the realistic pumpkin, and blend of spices (hello nutmeg and clove). It’s one of the few pumpkin teas that actually tastes like pumpkin (and not generic spices or carrots).

Flavors: Butternut Squash, Caramel, Clove, Nutmeg, Pumpkin, Vanilla

Ugh! Waiting impatiently for my order of this to arrive!
