561 Tasting Notes
Tea smells delicious like apple and spices. It tasted exactly like it too but was a tad weak in flavor (I used DT perfect spoon to scoop the tea in the filter and steeped it 5 minutes). I tried it again but added a bit more than last time and steeped it an extra minute and it was stronger and better.
Flavors: Apple, Spices
Preparation
I received this as a sample on my online order. I opened it and fell in love instantly. Smells like candied cherries. The taste isn’t as great as the smell but is still really good. Tastes like sweet cherry goodness.
Flavors: Cherry, Sweet
Preparation
Took one sip and tossed it down the drain. Didn’t taste like hot chocolate and I hate pu’erh but I figured I would give it a chance because of its name.
*Update: Tried this as a tea latte as it was in the advent calendar last year. With agave as a sweetener and some milk, it is quite drinkable now.
Preparation
I had big expectations for this tea because I adore mint and chocolate and together they are a masterpiece. I was slightly disappointed with it but it was drinkable. I prefer the mint chocolate rooibos better. The snowflakes were very cute though.
*Update: Way better as a latte.
Flavors: Artificial, Mint
Preparation
There was a pleasant smell when I opened the bag for this tea and while brewing it smelled like apple cider. However, I did not like it as a hot tea. I was able to drink it all but would not make it again. I would like to try it iced though. Most times when I don’t like a certain tea hot I end up loving it iced.
Flavors: Apple
Preparation
There must be something wrong with me because this tea has great reviews. I had high expectations because I love bananas but I did not like this drink. Too sweet and I couldn’t really taste the bananas.
Flavors: Sweet
