1810 Tasting Notes
I’ve been wanting to try this for quite awhile (Pineapple, caramel chai? Count me in.). I haven’t had huge success with other T2 blends, so was hesitant to pay full price. I recently saw that a giftset with this, Chiang Mai Chai, 2 cups, and a steeper went on sale for a verrrry reasonable price, so I went for it. Unfortunately, I find this pretty undrinkable. No pineapple. No caramel. It’s extremely spicy (not so much from the cinnamon, more from the pepper), and although there is no licorice root listed on the ingredients, I’m getting a strong licorice flavor.
That’s disappointing – I’ve also not had a lot of success with T2 blends, but this is one that actually really intrigued me despite that…
I wonder what the licorice root taste is from? None of the ingredients have comparable flavours unless it’s from the flavouring itself…
Coldbrewed the only bit of this I had, and I am thankful to be out. Honestly, I couldn’t even drink more than a sip. It had a pretty standard melon flavor, which I don’t mind. Then the sour rolls in, and it just doesn’t work with the melon. The worst part is this odd flavor that is in the fragrance and flavor- no other way for me to describe it but feet. I haven’t had this tea all that long, so I don’t think it’s gone off. But, it’s just terrible.
