553 Tasting Notes
Recieved this one today from KallieBoo! Enjoying this with one of my boyfriend`s kiddos. He all of a sudden wanted to start drinking tea with me. It’s kind of fun. So when my pkg arrived today he instantly dived in and begged to try this one. It was pretty cute. . . If you can call a smelly loud pre-teen cute. ( I kid. He is a sweetheart when he wants to be)
So he killed the first cup in about 2 minutes and asked if he could have another. I think he liked it. I asked him what he thought of it and he answered in typical teenage fashion with “I don’t know” with a look of why would you ask me that on his face. I think I’ll just enjoy my tea time with him instead of asking questions. I should have known better.
The tea itself is sweet and candy like but it’s almost too sweet. I can see why he liked it so much. I didn’t really pick up a whole lot of pineapple. Probably just need to shake up the bag and try again.
Flavors: Cake, Sweet
Sharing tea with pre-teen boys can be a hoot. I say this as the mother of a twelve year old. :)
Try also resteeping the leaves. I find that with the white teas from 52Teas, a nice flavor comes through in the second steep and some of the flavors that I missed in the first cup shine through in the second infusion.
I was thinking this was definitely a tea I would need to experiment with and now I have a tea buddy to do that with.
