2684 Tasting Notes
This ended up a little bitter every time despite proper steeping. I like it best sweetened cold without milk. I taste a lot of soda and a bit of cherry. The cola part was tasty, but the bitterness was unfortunate. The cold resteep was nice and soda-like. Maybe I should have cold brewed all the steeps, not just resteeps.
I really enjoyed the 52teas orange anise black tea recently, so I was excited to see this sort of similar tea in the TTB. The licorice is bright and sweet and goes really well with the black base. There’s also some orange for a bit of extra intrigue. I’m drinking it with milk and sweetener, and it’s quite nice! The resteep is nice as well.
I got a few samples from a tiny tea shop in Brighton! This is a decent rooibos chai, while still having a bit of a murky flavor from the base. The resteep was hearty enough! I wouldn’t necessarily seek it out, but I appreciated that it was slightly different from other chais due to the random ingredients that you can’t taste specifically, but make it more interesting, like pomegranate and cocoa apparently?
The first time, I didn’t taste too much bergamot or any brulee outside of maybe some bitterness. It was a little nondescript for me, unfortunately. The next time I had it, it tasted a little fruity or like a light EG, but that was it. The resteep was actually deeper and tastier for some reason. The bag is gone after two cups – I just wanted more from this one!
This tastes pretty strongly like honey. I’m not a honey fan, but I feel like this would be super tasty for someone who is. Cold, it was quite smooth and a little floral. It was interesting! The honey flavor really lingers. Definitely fun to try from the TTB!
I got this in London. I love green rooibos, and this one is super fresh and tasty. It’s so smooth and fruity. It’s delicious cold and lightly sweetened. The cold resteep is perfect as well.
