drank Green Coconut by Love Some Tea
2958 tasting notes

I love the super flavourful coconut in this blend. The one drawback (IMO a deal breaker) is the bitterness of the base. I finished up one of my samples of this from a few years ago be brewing it cold. Even cold brewed it has a substantial amount of bitterness and I find very unpalatable. The coconut is lovely and creamy; the vegetal notes from the base are nice too.

Flavors: Bitter, Coconut, Green

drank Banane Chocolat by Lupicia
2958 tasting notes

This wasn’t a bad cup, but the chocolate is non-existent and the banana is weak. I used up the rest of my sample (~1.5 tsp) and steeped for 15+ minutes. More of a lightly fruity black tea. Still a nice morning cup.

Flavors: Malt, Tannin

Another sipdown of a delicious tea I should have finished a while ago. I think this one is 2 years old.

I love the malty black base and the blueberry comes through as natural but flavourful. I added a bit of soy milk, however I still didn’t get the pastry or cream cheese notes I would like. If I didn’t know what this tea was called, I would think it was a plain blueberry black tea. Still tasty (esp. because I love blueberries), however the desserty aspect of the name is what drew me to it. I even tried steeping a long time (over an hour) starting with boiling water.

Flavors: Blueberry, Fruity, Malt

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 8 min or more

drank Cool Eucalyptus by DAVIDsTEA

Sipdown of yet another small amount

I don’t love this tea (sour and fruity mixed with medicinal mint and eucalyptus? Yuck) Much like cold 911, someone thought medicinal herbs would go perfectly with something acidic. It reminds me of a cough drop, actually. I do love wintergreen and spearmint flavour so in many ways I like some aspects of this blend. Without the fruity and sour notes this would be a fine herbal.

Flavors: Fruity, Herbs, Hibiscus, Medicinal, Menthol, Mint, Sour

drank Christmas In Paris by Stash Tea
2958 tasting notes

I’m on a severely restricted diet (700 calorie deficit) so I’m craving desserts. I had this with 1 tsp soy milk and it made for a nice evening treat. The cocoa nibs come through sharply and I love how rich it tastes.

Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Lavender, Mint, Rooibos

Aww, hang in there! I need to get back on the calorie restriction wagon myself! It sure isn’t easy so kudos for staying strong and having tea.

drank Partridgeberry in a Pear Tea by 52teas
2958 tasting notes

I feel like I totally missed the main tasting notes on this one. I think I’m missing out, since I really don’t taste much in the way or pear. The base isn’t my thing (sencha is a bit bitter and vegetal IMO) and I can’t make out any particular berry or fruit.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Fruity, Green, Vegetal

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 1 min, 45 sec

I really wanted to love this uniquely coloured tea. I can’t taste a difference between this and regular greens, but this is one of the more flavourful greens. There is bitterness which I find very off putting (although probably not an issue for most people). Some fruity and thick/creamy notes that would had been wonderful if the bitterness were replaced with sweetness. Typical green vegetal flavours.

Flavors: Bitter, Fruity, Tannic, Thick, Vegetal

drank Copabanana by DAVIDsTEA
2958 tasting notes

A nice banana version of a pina colada herbal. Lots of creamy coconut, banana, dried apple for a bit of sweetness, some tropical fruits ( citrus or peach). I swear I can taste pineapple but I’m not sure if there is any pineapple in this.

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Fruity

Preparation
Iced
