176 Tasting Notes

Had this tea the last two mornings at the hotel and for a basic restaurant tea it wasn’t too bad. I brewed it a bit too long the second day so it was a bit bitter, but all in all it’s pretty decent.

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more

Got myself a bit of a tummy ache and a major headache tonight, so this was the tea of choice! I’m already feeling a little better. Strong snappy ginger seems to do a lot of good for me, and I like that little added lemon flavor!

Fun fact: I boiled my water in a coffee pot, since I’m at a hotel, and the first time the water smelled pretty strong of coffee SOOO I did it again and the 2nd time it wasn’t too bad. I CAN’T TASTE IT, in any case.

Another tea I had while waiting for my next flight at the airport after my original one had been canceled; I wanted something sweet so I ended up adding quite a lot of cream and sugar to this, but it still had a really good taste in my opinion! It was quite rich, almost a little citrus-y even…? A good ear grey I say (wow that rhymed). The packaging was really nice too HAHA it had like the… preparation info on the pouch it came in AND THE POUCH WAS LIKEREALLY SOFT TOO IDK I liked it… a lot. :’|

Would like to try more of PeLi’s teas sometime!

A pretty basic white tea, which has served me well for blending experiments heh heh! I feel like this white tea isn’t as sweet as I expect a plain white tea to be, but it’s not bad.

Most definitely a bold, rustic and delicious signature blend tea! It smells very sweet and fruity, but once you brew it the spicy chai really comes out and dang the two mix perfectly! Quite unique and super addictinggg.

FANTASTICO! Finally got a chance to try this tonight! It’s lighter than some bagged raspberry teas I’ve experienced in the past, and I really love it that way. Fruity, sweet and tangy, probably the best raspberry tea I’ve tasted. Delishhh. Gonna make another cup RIGHT NOW.

UPDATE: IT APPARENTLY DOESN’T RE-STEEP WELL. :’( JUST FYI.

SUPER CASUAL TEA AFICIONADO!
my tastes are not refined.

i tend to steep teas too long and give a lot of high ratings and get ridiculously excited over things; i apologize for my excessive use of caps but TEA IS EXCITING okay!

greens & oolongs are my favorite!
also like sweet black teas!
and occasional light fruity teas!

i’d love to do a tea trade with you!
