553 Tasting Notes
I love discovering new teas. Hitting up Etsy in my spare time has been a lot of fun. But this tea, just isn’t for me. This tea has a weird smoked flavor. Like a smoked turkey flavor with a sweet twist. I really can’t explain it. The tea is aged in cranberry so I’m wondering if the aging process has added in a weird factor. This isn’t even a good weird. It just tastes off. I couldn’t even finish the cup. I dumped it and didn’t try it even cold. This was just a no for me.

Reading neon, I was hoping that either this would glow in the dark or had dried out bits of highlighter…
Haha, That would have been cool! Glow in the dark tea!
I am going to assume that it wouldn’t be advised to buy a tea that is labeled as glow in the dark… based off of what I read, it would be under a blacklight that a liquid would glow and I am unsure of a time that I would be drinking tea near a blacklight.
Thank you again Shae! This is one of the best teas I have ever had cold brewed. Sweet, slightly floral, citrus twist, smooth black tea base. Very well balanced.

2nd sample I had from my order from Amitea Organics. This one is perfect for the spring weather. Lemon herbal goodness with a honey twist. Super happy with this.
Flavors: Honey, Lemon
This is a interesting blend. This blend literally has 13 different ingredients. I was a bit scared when I was steeping this one. It smelled like a sweet spicy blend. First sip, I was hooked. This is really good. This tastes like a sweet cinnamon treat with hints of mint and other spices along the way. There is also an earthy quality. Really good. I really recommend this one.
I’m brewing more of this up for my trip to go see NKOTB today. Yep. NKOTB. My bestie and I saw them last year and it was a lot of fun. Vanilla Ice even came out to sing Ice Ice Baby. I’m hoping we have another surprise guest tonight.
Enjoy your day!
For the good, bad, and geek on this blend- check out my new blog-

I’m liking this one for a quick on the go kind of cup.
Toasted green with a hint of sweetness to it.
Simple and refreshing. What I wanted this morning.
Anybody have any recommendations on flavored genmaicha or a really good genmaicha?
Flavors: Roasted, Sweet
I need more of this tea-STAT. I went thru this one really fast. This tastes just like raspberry jam when brewed hot and when I threw the leaves in a pitcher to cold brew, this tasted just like a cake with raspberry filling. So good. Highly recommend this one.

I brewed this up while watching Scooby Doo with the kid last night. He loves Scooby Doo and so do I. I accidentally let this one oversteep a bit but you couldn’t tell. This is great. When brewed hot, such a delicate subtle lightly flavored pear green tea. When brewed cold, you have some fab pear iced tea. Very versatile tea. Super happy with this.
Flavors: Pear, Sweet
