296 Tasting Notes
I made it iced today, thinking it would improve the flavor, for I did not care for it being hot. The Peach Blossom of the same Celestial branding is a much better combination. It did not come off as tasting of much tea, nor did it impart a big, juicy raspberry flavor. Too bad, this box is fairly new too.
Flavors: Cream, Metallic, Raspberry
Preparation
Not a fan of this one! Nothing about it tastes like Mate. I do like whatever else Teavanna puts in there though, the syrupy sweet, caramel coffee flavor is very reminiscent of a caramel macchiato. It’s one of the few teas I will put cream into. For a quick steep-and-go in my French press this morning, it’ll do.
Flavors: Caramel, Dust, Honey, Roasted
Preparation
Got 5 infusions out of my glass gaiwan from this sample I got from yezi. The third infusion was probably the best by far. Clean and fresh, I recommend that anyone seriously into Chinese green try this brand and type at least once
Preparation
The description is accurate on this smooth fresh, matcha! Absolutely no bitterness or off flavors, and it’s creamy smooth finish makes want to drink more. For my first authentic Matcha, I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Flavors: Smooth, Sweet, Warm Grass, Vegetal
Preparation
Perhaps I didn’t steep it long enough, but the combination in flavors was off. I personally avoid chocolate in tea like a plague. I have been putting off this tea because of that. Maybe next time I will try to steep it longer and add gasp milk.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Cocoa, Dry Grass, Spicy
