1789 Tasting Notes

I love all of the ingredients in this tea, but it never quite struck me like I hoped it would. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a tasty tea. But, I thought this would be something I would want to have on hand at all times, but it’s sadly not. It just smells slightly off- it is just too strongly scented, and comes off as a candle. The smell actually seeped through the bag, and effected all the teas in my tea drawer at work.

Such a tasty mint tea, but time to say goodbye.

I ended up not loving this as much as I hoped I would. It’s a nice creamy lemon tea, but doesn’t really read as gooey butter cake to me.

Not a true sipdown, as I’m putting it in my swap pile. But, I’m counting it. This is not for me. The grenadine flavor is really medicinal and off-putting.

This is really just okay. There’s a bit of a grenadine flavor, but there’s something weird and starchy. It also gets bitter really quickly, and the end result is just not the steep hassle. Meh.

Sometimes I am really in the mood for licorice, sometimes I am absolutely not. I bought this last year, and I’m just trying it now (I guess I haven’t been in the mood for licorice). Black licorice seems to fit with spooky season for me, so I decided to finally give this a try. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how tasty it is. Much more soft and delicate than I expected.

I love black licorice! I should try some of this sometime.

Still working on sipping through this. This last cup was the best yet. I steeped with a bit cooler water temp, and for only 2 minutes. No bitterness at all, and tons of beautiful rosemary flavor.

So much rosemary in this cup! The fresh, herbaceous rosemary flavor is really hitting the spot. I’m really smelling the fruity blackcurrant this time around, but it’s still not reading in the flavor.

I was surprised by how much vanilla came out of this cup. Much sweeter and more rich than I remember.

Another tea I brought to work. This just brings me so much joy. It’s easy to drink, and difficult to ruin. So, makes for a perfect work brew.
