There are a whole lot of ingredients in this blend that tastes only like apple and clove and cinnamon. Hard for anything else to shine through when clove and cinnamon are around. Bit tart for my tastes.
This was the second tea in Yawn’s 2021 advent thingy. I can’t find it on their site, though, so not sure it was worth the effort of adding and logging it.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Clove
2012.10.07: I hear people like to understand other people’s ratings, so here’s a loose guide:
01-29: Dear God, why.
30-49: I’ll finish this cup, I guess, but no more.
50-59: Meh.
60-69: Decent. Maybe I can blend it with something else and make it better.
70-79: Heeey, this is quite good!
80-89: I love it, but I’m not in love with it.
90-100: Permanently resident in my Happy Place.
Update: I have steeped, and it was good. =] Still a tea-ophyte, though.
This is a tea site, so I feel like “well, I’m Indian” should be enough of an introduction. Because, I mean, it’s kind of in my genes, right? But the fact of the matter is that I’m an absolute tea-ophyte.
I’ve just discovered a world beyond Celestial Seasonings. I’ve just discovered “sachets” instead of “normal” tea bags and bought my first loose tea sampler. I don’t get the whole water temperature and steep time thing yet, nor that if I want to get a yixiang tea pot, I’d need one for each type of tea. I have this infuser ball thing, but I haven’t used it yet.
Don’t cringe, but right now I’m still just boiling water and pouring it over a teabag, adding some sugar, and drinking a nice, hot cuppa. I’d like to learn more, I think, and I’d like to train my palate. I figure participating in this community is the best way to do that.
So ya. Hi!
