I haven’t had a chance to try this on it’s own yet..so i picked this out tonight. HOLY CRAP PPL! this one smells INCREDIBLE…seriously it’s like deliciously amazing crazy ass creamy, yummy OMG i want to eat you all up tea.
…and then you brew it..and it’s not nearly as insane as the smell but it’s still a pretty decently flavoured cup of tea. So i’m enjoying it..but man, i wish it tasted like it smells… many that smell makes me happy! haha
Very, very good. The scent just about made me purr when I opened the package this morning. Yuuuuuuuuuum. The scent of the brewed tea is just as good, I think I’m in love. The tea itself is a little weak, so next time I might give it a longer steep time. Still, I’m glad we got the large package of this! It’s creamy and delicious and the flavor is out of this world.
T&C TTB Tea # 12 – Backlog May 25
(My last TTB backlogged review for now.)
I really need to try this again because I may not have paid careful enough attention to the flavour. It didn’t taste boozy to me. I love Bailey’s Irish Cream… when I was a teenager I’d always buy it and mix it with milk. Or just with ice cubes. Because that’s what people who don’t love the taste of booze do, drink sweet ones that taste like dessert and contain 5999 calories.
It was desserty….eh. I definitely need a round two of this at some point.
No rating for now.
I’m going to watch Sons of Anarchy now! At this rate I should be done S1 in no time!
I used to steal some booze out of all my parents’ bottles and replace it with water, haha
I may have also done that lol
I got this sample from sil, and was eager to try it because of the good reviews. The dry leaf smells amazing. it kind of smells as though it should be one of those Irish cream cappuccinos you can get at coffee shops, that are boldly flavoured. i wanted so much for the taste of the brew to reflect the smell, but alas it fell short. It’s funny, because the brewed aroma is still of a reasonably strong Irish cream, but it tastes very much like a generic black tea, with perhaps a hint of cream at the end of the sip. I brewed for three minutes, and wonder if I should have perhaps brewed for longer. I have enough left for another cup, and might just do that. Those of you who enjoy this tea: how have you prepared it for maximum flavour?
Bottom line: I’m open to trying it again and brewing it differently, but for now at least, I’ll just build my cart on rlt’s site with matcha only. Thanks again, sil!
Great Canadian TTB
Normally when I think of Red Leaf Tea, I think matcha but after this cup, I might need to look into their teas. Not only does this smell amazing but it is incredibly creamy and delicious. Thank you Sil for including it! I am tempted to keep it but I know I will place a RLT order soon enough so I can pick up more for myself then and this can go on for others to enjoy :)
I hate when that happens
sounds incredible! what would you say it tastes like…if you could compare it to any flavor or tea? is this a flavored black, or a straight black with cream bits thrown in? or does it just have an inherently creamy quality sans additions? any notes you’re picking up on, like caramel or vanilla? from the way you describe this tea, somehow i’m picturing a dark, rich liquor.
It’s a flavoured black, no bits in there. It’s like Irish cream….so creamier…more like vanilla than caramel but it’s not vanilla….heh
thanks for your clarification! sounds delicious, added this one to my shopping list!
just poke me sometime mid February and i can send some your way if you like. saves you an order in case you don’t like it :)
I’d love to give this a try as well :)
[sheepishly adds to shopping list]
lol 5$ says you try it and wonder what crack i was smoking when i drank it :)
Dangit Sil, you made me snort tea out my nose!
puhlease..like that’s hard.
[looks down into the mug]
shush…
AHAHA! Ceylon Star, I love what you’ve put in your bio. :)
This has gotta be good, and something I can’t screw up…since I suck at making matcha.
Srsly? YOU, of all people, are judging me? Hahahaha!
Thanks Sil, you are too kind.. I’ll be sure to poke u in February ;p let me know if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, tho it’s hardly exciting!
pyarkaaloo – you’d be surprised at what i can find to tantalise my taste buds from ppl’s cupboards…i’m trying to taste ALL THE TEAS after all haha
that’s right!
Not judging, Ceylon Star! I think it’s awesome! And the icon too. :)
