193 Tasting Notes
My family is not having a good winter so far! We are all sick again…. with strep throat. This required something cold. This is mostly sugar with a little tea but it is addicting stuff and very refreshing.
Made as a latte this morning… delicious!
And my 12 Teas of Christmas came yesterday and I am struggling with waiting until the 14th! Must wait must wait!
It’s going to be a struggle for me as well! I will have double the struggle, because I am also involved in a 12 days of xmas art swap! But it will be fun!!!
Glad to hear people are receiving their samplers. Apart from the agonizing anticipation, what did you think of our little sampler as far as packaging and presentation, etc?
It was very nicely done! Love the labels… brown packaging was good (except I can’t peek now :) And the packaging was nice. I am glad I sent one as a gift. They received it and are anxious to try it as well. They said the packaging smells so good. Overall A++ Now the 14th just has to hurry up and get here LOL
Frank, you did a great job on presentation/packaging! It’s too cute!! I do have to ask, though, if there are new teas in there, will you be adding them to the database on their day or beforehand?
Well, there is just one new tea (the product description says this much, so I hope I’m not spoiling anything for anyone). The new one is for Christmas day, and it will be the Tea of the week the week after Christmas. I’ll probably get it posted on Steepster Christmas Day though.
Obviously, I pay so much attention to product descriptions!! I’m blaming it on end-of-year insanity! ;-p
sad day…used the last of this tea in my latte. I have grown quite fond of this one! I will have to replenish the supply very soon! I am still trying to perfect my lattes and found Frank’s recipe that I had received with my 52 Teas order… and I was not adding the sweetened condensed milk, so today I gave it a whirl. YUMMMY!
milk+sweetened condensed milk+tea+ Dark Chocolate cream from Breve Creme= Dreammy!!!
Wow… I was actually excited to wake up this morning because my order from 52teas arrived yesterday but it was too late in the day for me to have a black tea. I knew the Hot Buttered Banana Bread would be a perfect way to start my Saturday and I was not disappointed!
The banana was really strong to the nose when opening the pouch but when steeped it mellowed out and blended well! I get a great taste on the banana, nuts and buttery bread tones. If you like banana then definitely check this tea out! I added a little rock sugar to the cup which I think enhanced the tea nicely.
Preparation
I am getting mostly spearmint and vanilla with a light green tea base. It is refreshing hot… I would like to try it iced! I think it would be very refreshing in the summer iced. I think I may make a batch of this iced to take to my grandparents over the holidays since it is always 110 degrees in their house :)
Preparation
Stopped by my mom’s house for an hour before picking up my girls at daycare today (they were still napping), enjoyed a cup of this with her. I have the regular Hot Cinnamon Spice at home so I was anxious to try the Decaf version. It was good… not quite as strong as my regular (it could be the amount of tea or brewing time my mom used) but delightful taste without the caffiene. I am already planning on ordering a tin of this with my next Harney order!
