Lindsay drank Orange Spice C02 Decaf by Metropolitan Tea Company

352 tasting notes

Freshly brewed it’s VERY cinnamon forward, well cinnamon and clove I suppose, that combination that feels like “winter spice”. As it cools you can taste more of the black tea and orange and a slight vegetal note that I think is the moringa. On one sip I got a slight floral note. Overall it’s decent, didn’t really stand out from other similar teas I’ve tried. Can’t really tell the tea is decaffeinated as any flavour change there is completely overwhelmed by the spice, so it’s a good after dinner or bedtime choice.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 g 300 OZ / 8872 ML

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
