1789 Tasting Notes
Grimoire Countdown- Day 1
As much as I love the name and inspiration, I do not love this tea. Not at all. It has the terrible artificial chocolate flavor so many “chocolate” flavored blends fall victim to. Couldn’t get past 1 sip, so I will refrain from giving it a numerical rating.
12 Teas of Christmas- Day 1
I’m only doing 3 tea countdowns this year. I really need to get my stash under control, and I’m about to go on a trip that’s going to be very tea-filled, so didn’t want to overdo it with the advents. But, I can’t resist the 52Teas countdown.
This is so tasty! Bright, juicy oranges and a touch of sweet/bakery notes. Definitely a high note to start on.
Working on sipping through a tin. It’s actually quite good! 1 minute steep time, 1 sugar cube. Pretty tasty vanilla flavor.
You must have an old stash of sugar cubes. I can’t find them in stores anywhere since the pandemic. It took out the most random items!
Dustin: Have you ever made sugar cubes? It is sooo easy and fun! I had a silicone mold for little roses and made rose shaped sugar “cubes.” They are for fancy tea parties with little kids that I teach!
I have not tried that! With all the things I do make I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t really occurred to me to try to make my own sugar cubes!
