1541 tasting notes

ashmanra included an envelope of Soothe Your Tummy in a swap. Just what I needed. Last week, I was loading the trimmings of a monster English ivy tree into a yard waste bin and had to climb in to stomp the vines down. Who knows what got me, but I came out with several bites on my legs. One of the bumps went SNAFU. It was already infected and large but then it tripled in size overnight. So… I went to the ER last night. Everything is fine now but the antibiotics and codeine make me nauseous.

Enter Soothe Your Tummy. This herbal tea was goooood. I could taste everything and it was all quite fresh. The spicy ginger aroma tickled me nose. The warming ginger/ginger oil was dominant in taste but neither too strong nor too spicy. The licorice root was light, thank glorb. Enough peppermint to taste and feel. A little fennel here, a little clove there, some turmeric peeking through. Stomach and mind soothed.

Flavors: Clove, Fennel, Ginger, Peppermint, Spices, Spicy, Sweet

I always need stomach teas since migraine seizes up my whole GI tract frequently and with a fury. I’m going to look for this one next time I’m at the grocery!

Bio

This place, like the rest of the internet, is dead and overrun with bots. And thus I step away.

Eventual tea farmer. If you are a tea grower, want to grow your own plants or are simply curious, please follow me so we can chat.

I most enjoy loose-leaf, unflavored teas and tisanes. Teabags have their place. Some of my favorite teas have a profound effect on mind and body rather than having a specific flavor profile. Terpene fiend.

Favorite teas generally come from China (all provinces), Taiwan, India (Nilgiri and Manipur). Frequently enjoyed though less sipped are teas from Georgia, Japan, Nepal and Darjeeling. While I’m not actively on the hunt, a goal of mine is to try tea from every country that makes it available to the North American market. This is to gain a vague understanding of how Camellia sinensis performs in different climates. I realize that borders are arbitrary and some countries are huge with many climates and tea-growing regions.

I’m convinced European countries make the best herbal teas.

Personal Rating Scale:

100-90: A tea I can lose myself into. Something about it makes me slow down and appreciate not only the tea but all of life or a moment in time. If it’s a bagged or herbal tea, it’s of standout quality in comparison to similar items.

89-80: Fits my profile well enough to buy again.

79-70: Not a preferred tea. I might buy more or try a different harvest. Would gladly have a cup if offered.

69-60: Not necessarily a bad tea but one that I won’t buy again. Would have a cup if offered.

59-1: Lacking several elements, strangely clunky, possess off flavors/aroma/texture or something about it makes me not want to finish.

Unrated: Haven’t made up my mind or some other reason. If it’s pu’er, I likely think it needs more age.
