2955 Tasting Notes

You can smell the fresh apricots through the packaging. The tea smells divine before and during steeping. It is beautifully sweet, bright, and delicately fruity. The white tea gives it a nice round taste. It steeps a light yellow colour, but you can really taste all the different flavours. I also really like the ingredients are organic and ethically sourced.

Very tart, but the raspberry flavour was strong (not that you could taste it very well under the sourness). It makes an ok iced tea if you add sweetener and don’t let it sit too long.

There is a nice spicy sweetness to it, which makes for a nice hot tea of a wintry day. My only critique is that it is too minty for me, which overpowered the other flavours. This tea is sweet enough by itself that it doesn’t need any honey. It is good by itself but makes an especially wonderful steamed milk latte.

Flavors: Menthol, Mint, Peppermint, Spicy, Sweet

The blueberry one is the only one I find drinkable. The others I used up by dunking the tea bag for 10 seconds or so to brew some iced tea. These tisanes are only good for people who enjoy fruity acidic teas. Personally, I find them too sour, but others might like them. This sampler would be worth trying if you know you enjoy this sort of tisane.

This tisane is super acidic even if you only brew it a few minutes. Not even honey or milk can calm its sourness. It actually curdles milk! If you like fruity iced teas in the summer, this makes for a good iced tea if you don’t mind tart.

Flavors: Citrus, Lemon, Lemon Zest, Sour

Preparation
Boiling 1 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 250 ML

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
