2172 Tasting Notes
This isn’t my favorite from Satori Teas, but that isn’t saying much. I think I’ve loved every tea I’ve tried from there. This one’s probably lighter in flavor than some of the others but still floral and fruity – peach maybe?
Flavors: Floral, Peach
Preparation
This is definitely not a favorite, but it’s been next on my list of herbals for a while now. Decided today I might as well go ahead and drink it. It’s pretty much what I remember. There is mostly ginger with some sweet lemon in the background. There isn’t enough of either to make it something I would want to drink even as a sick tea.
Flavors: Ginger
Preparation
This is a unique blend with vanilla bean, jasmine, carob, and shatavari root. I think it must be the shatavari root that is giving it that earthy flavor. It reminds me of ashwagandha. I don’t taste the carob or jasmine. I wonder what it would add to the overall flavor if it were stronger. As it is, it tastes like an earthy breakfast blend. The base tea is bold which I appreciate.
Flavors: Earthy
Preparation
I never can seem to remember if I like this one, but it turns out that I do. It’s very comforting this morning. Or I guess it’s afternoon now. I’m struggling to stay awake for some reason, even though I slept pretty well last night. The last couple of days have been thrown off by some unplanned plans, so I’m tired but feel a bit on edge. Hoping to rest some maybe tomorrow.

September 2022 → A Chai tea
Eh, this one’s mediocre honestly. I remember I bought this as a replacement for a much-loved bagged chai, but it misses its mark. It has the chai spices and seems evenly spices, but there’s just nothing fantastic about it.
Flavors: Spices

September 2022 → A chocolate tea
The first/last/only time I’ve had this tea, I used lots of tea to try coaxing out the chocolate flavor and ended up with a cup full of liquid cinnamon. I decided this time around to steep it like I would any other black tea, and it’s much much better. It’s still heavy on the cinnamon with no chocolate to be found, but I’m actually enjoying the cup this time.
Sometimes I really do miss Teavana, even if it’s only because it’s where I first started loving tea.

September 2022 → A breakfast tea
My cat got this one, but not before I had a chance to taste a few sips. It’s a solid breakfast tea, maybe just a little weaker than I would like, but I’m not devastated that it’s been stolen. I have one more bag of this one, but I don’t see myself purchasing more. Actually, I didn’t even purchased these. They were samples from a few H & S orders.
Preparation
I don’t care this one. I don’t like super strong breakfast tea usually, but this one was nondescript to me.
That’s a really good way to describe it, I agree 100%. I’ll drink my last bag of it, but I don’t consider it to be anything special or memorable.
