Arby drank Raspberry Ganache by Tea Forte

2972 tasting notes

I’m suprised at how good this is.

Cup one was brewed up strong with a generous amount of vanilla soy milk. It was rich, creamy, decadent. and very, very raspberry flavoured. It almost seemed buttery and creamy. (I was expecting cocoa with the word ganache in there, but maybe they mean ganache made with no chocolate?)

Cup two was less than stellar. No milk this time and although the dry leaf smelled delicious there was almost no raspberry flavour left. The base was weak and slightly bitter. It was a good blend just based on how amazing that first cup was, however it doesn’t resteep well.

Flavors: Butter, Creamy, Fruity, Raspberry, Smooth, Sweet

Preparation

Boiling 8 min or more

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
