1789 Tasting Notes

Got this as a sample in a recent order. Truthfully, I’d never even considered trying it because of the name. Surprisingly, I’m really enjoying it. Nice and earthy. Vibrant, juicy orange. A bit of a kick from the ginger.

VariaTEA

Yeah, when I see names like this or Detox or some other suggestion of a wellness tea, I tend to ignore it. Sometimes they can actually end up being good but I just don’t like when companies try to market teas in that way.

amandastory516

Agreed. It feels like a marketing gimmick, and is quite a turnoff.

tea-sipper

ha, I’m drinking B&B’s version of this tea right now too (also a sample), and I’m also thinking “never wanted to try this because of the name” — used to be called “skinny minnie” or something…

Silent Kettle

Mhmm! I’m hesitant to try this tea because of the name. But I am glad you enjoyed it. I might check this one out. I thought it would be very herbal-tasting based on the name alone, not a self-care blend. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

I took a 2oz bag if this to work, and made it in straight in water instead of in milk on the stove for the first time. Not a fan. The white chocolate just becomes oily, and the peppermint is flat and thin. This one really needs the milk to bring everything together.

This tea has turned in an odd way. Both the dry leaf and the brewed tea are smelling a bit…footy? Like a berry foot. My cat jumped on the table as I was brewing this and I actually asked her why she smelled so bad…and then I realized it was the tea (yes, I did apologize to my cat). It still tastes decent, but the smell is so off.

Flatulent cat, or bad tea? Hmm…

I remember making this one grapefruit/citrus fruit tea sampler that, to me, smelled dead on for sticky feet. I could not with that tea.

amandastory516

shudder stinky citrus foot tea doesn’t sound good.

ROFL “like a berry foot”. I literally died.

Mastress Alita

“Berry foot” makes me think of those bare-footed wine pressers that stomp the grapes in the vats!

Cameron B.

Well now we know what happened, Lucy came in and stomped all over your tea!

amandastory516

The stinky tea mystery has been solved!

Enjoying a small cup of this with the last piece of Harvest pie for breakfast. Goodbye favorite pie, see you next year. The cinnamon, ginger, and smoke work really well, and I’m getting a bit of a caramelized sugar flavor in the finish that is so.tasty.

tea-sipper

I’m intrigued – what is Harvest Pie?

amandastory516

It’s from Coco’s- layers of pumpkin pie, pumpkin chiffon, and whipped cream. The ultimate pumpkin pie IMO.

Mastress Alita

Lords that sounds good.

tea-sipper

That does sound good. :D

AJRimmer

Well I guess I know what I’m making after I finish the desserts already in my house!

Leafhopper

That harvest pie sounds tasty, and so does your tea pairing!

This cup just didn’t turn out as wonderful as I remember it. I wasn’t getting any of the sweet, juicy mango that was present before. It’s just a bit brisk and spicy. I may have over-leafed it.

Had this again yesterday. Still delicious. Still getting me through Black Friday weekend.

Black Friday. Yeesh. I work retail, so I always dread Black Friday…especially a 6am shift. Many, many cups of this got me through the day. I still love it. Smoke and burnt sugar and wonderfulness. I actually think I’ve grown to like Golden Arrow a bit more than this (which I was going to stock up on, but it’s completely sold out on the AU site sigh).

For some reason, this note isn’t showing up in my feed, even though some newer notes are…

amandastory516

Huh…that is strange. It’s not showing on my feed either. shakes fist at all of the Steepster glitches

Cameron B.

I wonder if you try editing it and saving it again, does that make a difference?

This absolutely tastes like a strawberry lemonade. There’s a vibrant sweetness from the strawberry, and a distinct bright lemon flavor. The hibiscus here is appropriate, and brings a zingy tartness.

This is really hitting the spot today. The sweetness of the apple and maple, and the earthiness of the turmeric are working so well with the mix of green teas. Quite comforting and cozy.

Feeling very thankful for many things today. I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

I could’ve sworn I wrote a review for this before, but I’ve tried searching high and low and can’t find the page for it.
Absolutely love this. I can’t taste much ginger, but the fresh, juicy watermelon works so well with the white tea blend.
