4170 tasting notes

Another little packet I received from TreeGal! Thanks so much! I felt like following my Lupicia’s coffee tea with another coffee tea today. This one is interesting (as in, potentially I might hate it) because the ingredients lists coffee grounds. I really like it better when a coffee flavor is artificial, I guess? Like Lupicia’s yesterday? No actual coffee. Otherwise, if a coffee element is genuine, it becomes too funky for me, as all coffee seems to be. Anyway, this is certainly better tasting to me than many other Steepsterers have experienced. There is definitely a coffee element throughout both steeps. But the coffee just seems a bit sour, again maybe it’s my coffee pickiness. There is also a sweet element as well, might be the cocoa beans. I don’t understand the chamomile in this blend at ALL. But it also doesn’t appear to result in the flavor. The color of the brew is neither too dark or too light, as this should be a puerh and black tea together. I wish more of the puerh made an appearance. Overall, a decent blend. However, I imagine the “coffee lovers” from the name might prefer coffee. But this isn’t terrible for a tea fan who wants a coffee flavored tea once in a while.
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoons for a full mug // 10 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 3 minute steep

I also much prefer coffee flavouring in teas as opposed to actual coffee, grounds or beans. Possibly because actual coffee makes my stomach sad.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
