1789 Tasting Notes

Finished off a 15g pouch. As it ages, I find the coconut more distinct and the overall flavor less creamy. Still delicious, but not as good as a fresh bag.

Finished off a 100g bag! A rare achievement. This is a really nice, consistent black tea. It’s sweet and a touch starchy. I may re-purchase down the line, but I’m a but burned out on it for now.

Not a favorite. Like hay and old oranges. Not fresh or vibrant and a bit stale tasting.

This wasn’t great. I’m very much over charcoal roasted oolongs, and didn’t realize this was one. It was lacking depth and tasted very much like charcoal.

While this cup wasn’t as good as the first, it was still tasty. I’d definitely consider repurchasing this in the future.

I really dislike ‘detox’ blends. It’s just…not a thing and I hate brands that try to sell any kind of detox to consumers.

Despite my annoyance at the name, decided to give it a try, as the combination of peach, cinnamon, and clove sounded interesting.

Alas, this is just cinnamon and clove- maybe a touch of ginger? Meh, it’s a spiced herbal, not something I need to have again.

Agree with you on the detox teas. We seem to have accumulated quite a few though because James loves those kinds of blends. Not because they are detox but because he likes the way they taste. Still haven’t figured that out.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Korean black tea before, and this is quite interesting.

It is surprisingly floral and sweet- like lilacs and honey.

There is a bit of a wet tree bark thing happening, which actually works really well with the soft floral notes.

I’ve been on the fence about this one with every CS order I’ve placed. Now I’ll be adding a sample in my next order!

Decided to try this for the first time as a cold brew. I ended up overstepping it a bit, so I need to revisit before I can make a fair assessment.

Mmmmmm…this is tasty. Really sweet, with notes of honey, baked bread, and a touch of cocoa.

Didn’t love this- I couldn’t taste any yuzu, only a very seaweedy green tea.
