1604 tasting notes

Kiki:

“Ohh orange! Orange candy. Here, try it.”

Oof, that’s not for me!

“Too much orange peel? Smells kinda like cat butt, though.”

There’s one flavor I got right off the bat besides the orange (beet-carrot).

“Is it a creamsicle?”

No, it’s not quite a concept tea.

“Oh it’s orange. Is it like a French one?”

No, not quite.

“Lemongrass. Everytime I smell it, I smell a little cat butt. talking to my old girl on her lap Kinda like yours. I like your cat butt. Is there a little clove in there? You know how much I love clove. I like it, though. I like the vibrant orange. Kinda makes your tongue burn a little bit. There’s the cat butt again. I kinda like the cat butt smell. cackles Is that cinnamon in there, cinnamon? It’s like drinking juice. I finished it, I like it. 8.5, maybe a 9.”

Oh?

“Yeah, uh-huh. See, I don’t drink juice anymore, so anytime I can drink burp something that tastes like juice, I go for it. burp Mhm, so sweet. Is there sugar in there? SO what is it?”

Orange Glow. I rattle off the ingredients.

“Natural orange flavoriiiing… why can’t they use the orange peel?”

There is orange peel in it.

“That’s it. Thank you, Cameron. Can I send you some pot? cackles Okay.”

What are you feeding your cat to get lemongrass-scented butt?!

Leafhopper

LOL! I’m not sure I’d give a cat butt tea a nine.

(Note to self) Time to go buy some potted catnip and lemongrass.

Well, I do have a beverage waiting to be tried that we agree smells like “beach bathroom plus extra hint of sand with decaying crab.”

My longtime friend https://steepster.com/visigoth just sent me a singing voice message in the tune of that Folgers Coffee jingle: “The best part of waking up is cat butt in your cup.” You’ve been caught lurking my reviews, friend!

Bio

This place, like the rest of the internet, is dead and overrun with bots. Yet I persist.

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.

Favorite teas generally come from China (all provinces), Taiwan, India (Nilgiri and Manipur). Frequently enjoyed though less sipped are teas from Georgia, Japan, and Nepal. 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, possesses off flavor/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 puerh, I likely think it needs more age.
