2972 tasting notes

I finished this sample off today, which came from a sample exchange with VariaTea. I’m not sure why I didn’t have it recorded on my spreadsheet, but it is nice to clear out my drawer a bit.

This time I made it hot (1 tsp leaf, 500 mL hot water) but had no teabag or strainer and had to drink it while trying not to swallow rooibos needles. Still, it was really good flavour-wise.

The freeze-dried raspberries make it so deliciously fruity without the fake taste you get from certain flavourings. There is a strong rooibos taste here (which I like), so this blend is best suited yo fans of rooibos.

Flavors: Berry, Fruity, Mineral, Raspberry, Rooibos

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 17 OZ / 500 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
