2170 Tasting Notes
I thought this was an Earl Grey with bay leaves added, which seemed like an interesting combination. I’ve always thought bay leaves smelled a bit like tea. But after reading the description, it seems that it’s maybe something to do with the Green Bay Packers? I’m not sure what the relation is to hops and Bavarian cream since I don’t follow football, but the tea sure is good. The bergamot is light but present.
Flavors: Bergamot
Preparation
I can smell the rosemary and the sage – how unique! The rosemary stands out to me above all else. I’m not tasting the raspberry buy my sample is an older one so the fault likely lies with me. Overall, I’m enjoying the different flavors but not enough to make this a favorite.
Flavors: Herbaceous, Sage
Preparation
This tea has become an old favorite. It’s nice for those times when I want something but I’m not sure what it is and so I just grab this one off the top of the tea cabinet. It’s predictable but in a very good way. A fine, strong strawberry tea.
Flavors: Strawberry
Preparation
I’ll admit, the name alone worried me. I like sweet potato but the thought of mixing sweet potato with raisins (not a fan) has put me against trying this one since it arrived in my mailbox. Opening the pouch today, I almost turned back. Strong, strong cinnamon (spicy Red Hot cinnamon – also not a favorite) and something that reminded me of a musty old house. But I figured that I like the flavor of some black teas with sweet potato and raisin notes so why not this?
Ehh, not great. Just that overpowering cinnamon. Nope, nope, nope.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Musty
Preparation
I drank this one so fast, I didn’t even have time to write a note. I loved it! After reading back over my last review of this tea, I have completely different feelings this time around. It may have been in the way it was prepared since my husband made this cup for me; perhaps he just did a better job than I did. I could taste the citrus, orange I guess, though still not specifically tangerine. It was such a delightful cup.
Flavors: Orange
