6444 Tasting Notes
Oh steepster friends…how I have missed you and your tasting notes. Saturday I scratched my eye at work which meant I couldn’t see out of the eye or look at a screen due to the light but now it is healing and I can return to all of you…and my beloved teas.
This is a tasty blueberry cuppa with just a drizzle of brown sugar. It is sweet and fruity and really nice. A great introduction back to my tea cupboard.
More and more I notice the maple in this blend however, it is like a mediocre black tea with maple syrup added as opposed to a maple tea like Steam tea’s delicious maple tea. With that in mind, I could just add my own maple syrup to one of my better black teas making for a better version of this blend, especially as it won’t be loaded up with cinnamon. So although this isn’t a bad tea, it’s not something I feel the need to keep around. Although maybe I should because last time I attempted to add maple syrup to tea, it didn’t go so well.
So my tea twin often talks about having matcha shaken in Milk To Go. I decided to try it out. I went to Dollarama and though I couldn’t find vanilla, I did find strawberry and decided to go with that, especially because I thought it would pair great with this matcha. I was right. It is a sweet strawberry banana smoothie and it is great. Thank you Roswell Strange for the idea.
So as a staples employee, working tonight was like working on Christmas, as in it aways crazy busy. When I finally got home, I decided to make a cup of tea and before even deciding what to make, I set it to boil because I knew I felt like having black tea. Anyways, as the kettle heated, I noticed a package on the table from my awesome tea twin and inside was this tea. Immediately, I made my decision and oh what a right decision it turned out to be.
The scent of this brewed cup is sort of buttery but the taste is coconutty pineapple deliciousness. It’s creamy and sweet from the coconut with an amazing pineapple tang to curb the sweetness from becoming cloying. It is really hitting the spot as many Camellia Sinensis teas tend to do so thank you Roswell Strange for this awesome midnight treat!
The spices are strong in this one. Pumpkin spice and cranberry. Nice but not anything mindblowing. Plus, I think DAVIDs really took Fall to heart because all their teas are pretty heavily spiced and I just don’t think I am ready to say goodbye to summer just yet.
I concur… I’m not ready to let go of summer yet myself. Seems like we just got some nice hot temperatures and they are starting to sell mums… say what? When the weather cools down again, maybe I’ll be ready.. Maybe
Suziqzer, I’ll give you all the hot weather you want from Texas with love! I’m so ready for the fall!
glad your eye is doing better!
Glad it’s healing!
Ouch. That sounds awful. :| Glad you’re doing better!
Thanks guys. It definitely was not fun but I am well on my way to healing so yay!
