Kawaii433 drank Cauldron Cake Genmaicha by 52teas

379 tasting notes

Quick note, busy day. A client needed something yesterday but didn’t tell me till this morning. People need to realize: “A lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on mine.” Always use that quip hehe.

Had this in my daily sipper, I put 3g in 175ish°F water. It’s good, I’ve refilled it 3 times now. Had good toasted rice notes, popped rice, subtle cocoa notes. I made sure that “there’s only 1 white chocolate chip in the measurement.” It’s good on the re-steeps too. A nice comforting cup of tea that reminds me of coco puffs. Good Genmaimatcha blend.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
