6768 Tasting Notes
Special thanks to LiberTEAS for this tea sample! :)
This is good.
It smells more vegetal than it tastes but the taste is even and pleasant. It has a bit of a celery-like finish and aftertaste. I’m thinking i could get multiple infusions but I have SO MUCH new tea to try that I think I will move on. I do have enough for another cup after this so I might try it again down the road.

What doesn’t this blend have?
This is a mix of black, white, oolong, yerba mate, peach flavoring, and flowers! WOW! Normally that would make me nervous…but whatever mathematician came up with the percentages for this combo is pure genius!
EVERYTHING makes sense in this blend. All of the ingredients play nicely and smell and taste good together!
Not to mention the health benefits in this tea! WOW! Nicely done, Compass Teas, Nicely Done! :)
This dry ‘mix’ looks like Almond Cookie by SpecialTea and The Spice and Tea Exchange. It smells really close to it too! I’m excited to try this and my infusion is almost complete! (insert giddy/evil laugh here)
Oh yeah…THIS is NICE!
I’m thinking the Almond and spice is a little bit more prominent thank the black tea in the other tea companies take on this…and I’m not sure if there is as much ‘cookie’ type taste but regardless this is darn tasty! YUM!
I can’t believe this one wasn’t in the steepster database!
This is a very creamy/vanilla-scented Earl Grey. I always look for twists on earl greys because I like to see how different they can be but still be classified as an earl grey. I know there are some people out there that stand by the phrase “Leave My Earl Alone” but not me…I love the variety, the creativeness, the uniqueness!
Again, this aroma is delightful! black tea, bergamot, creame, vanilla, ahhhh!
The taste is VERY creamy! The cream and vanilla both town down the bergamot and I really like this. Lately I have had a lot of EG’s that overdue it with the bergamot or use a really REALLY funky bergamot flavoring and it tends to be bitter or leave that strange aftertaste. Not this one! This is pretty darn good right here! VERY smooth…darn near the smoothest tea I have ever had. Some may say the bergamot isn’t strong enough but I really like the way this one plays out!
Delightful!
I found a little bit of this hiding somewhere and there was only enough for 1 large cup. I had half of it hot and half cold. I must say I thought I would enjoy it iced but I prefer it hot in this case. It was still good and I would get it again. Sorry to see it go…backlogging…
