Kell drank Peach Jubilee by Tea Forte

36 tasting notes

Hello, cinnamon!

This came in a lovely set and while I will probably finish out my stash, I don’t think I would rebuy. Could barely taste peach or vanilla. Too much cinnamon for me.

Kell drank Hazelnut Truffle by Tea Forte

36 tasting notes

Since I’ve never had either hazelnut or chocolate in my tea before, I can’t be sure what exactly is making me dislike this tea. It’s not terrible – and actually woke me up quite well – but I’m not sure I’ll rebuy again for myself after my infusers are gone.

Kell drank Darjeeling Blend by Harney & Sons

36 tasting notes

So, Day 2 with the Darjeeling Blend.

Once again, I was not a big fan of the first cup. Today I made sure to follow the steeping directions on the tin, but it still was a bit on the bitter side for me. I’m guessing I just have too much of the leaf for my little cup of water. We’ll try again tomorrow.

The second cup was better again, although I decided to experiment a bit with honey and think I overdid it. It’s not terrible, but a bit on the sweet side.

The woman that owns my local tea shop told me that the Germans take their Darjeeling with a little sugar, and that is the way I like it too. I think it helps with that little bit of bitterness. Half a teaspoon usually does it for me. I also like to use 200 degree water (and not boiling). Hope you get this tea to the place where you enjoy it!!
