294 tasting notes

I’m not sure what to make of this tea. On its face, it should be everything I want. Peach is high in the ingredient list, prominent in scent and flavor. The addition of apricot, while I can’t distinguish it by taste, is usually positive. But the lime…

I like lime, and I know adding it can brighten a lot of fruit flavors. One of my favorite popsicles is actually a watermelon popsicle with the addition of lime juice – you can’t taste the lime but it makes the watermelon surprisingly bold. So maybe I can thank the lime for the strong peach. But it’s also a little artificial. Not quite candy – maybe like a candy made with a sugar substitute?

I don’t think I want to buy more of this, but if I had more, I’d try a cold brew.

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
