1789 Tasting Notes
This tea is so cute! I’m a sucker for sprinkles, especially purple heart shaped sprinkles. I added a bit of honey, and I wish I didn’t because it made the cup a bit too sweet. It is a really nice candied raspberry flavor though! Just a hint of lemon, which I’m guessing would be more distinct if I didn’t add the honey.
Why are there not more flavored hojichas? This is so tasty-slightly burnt caramel and cinnamon, with a bit of cardamom and ginger in the finish.
This sounds really good! I don’t know if I like hojicha, but I think I have some blends from 52Teas that I haven’t opened yet. Might have to try one and see if it’s something I’d drink, because I would for sure buy some of this one based on your description if it was a black tea.
This just tastes like stale watered down coffee. Not quite understanding the name related to the ingredients. Another tea going into the swap pile.
Has anyone found a coffee-flavored tea that doesn’t taste like watery coffee? I haven’t, but I know I’d love it if it was done well.
I like when the coffee flavor is with puerh – so something like Bird & Blend’s Coffee Puerh or the blend from Davids (might be discontinued now). Actually I’m drinking Tealyra’s Java Espresso right now which is black tea/roasted yerba mate/ chocolate chips/cinnamon/coffee flavor… but that is gone now too.
This is the one from Tealyra, tea-sipper? I couldn’t find it on Steepster, but this looks like the same flavors.
