6440 Tasting Notes
For a couple of days I had been thinking about making a mojito type drink with tea. Since I figured other flavours might stand out more, I decided to go with a plain black tea I was pretty meh about trying. This was that tea and I made it over ice with mint leaves and lime juice. I then topped that all with some pineapple sparkling water. After a taste, I realized I was a bit heavy handed with the lime juice so I opted to add a splash of vanilla syrup to offset the tart citrus. That actually rounded out the flavour perfectly making this bright, sweet and super refreshing. The tea provided a solid foundation for the other flavours to thrive. I’d have it like this again but also I should probably try it plain once.
Ordered from my local kombucha place again for the first time in probably a year or so because of this seasonal flavour – a combo of pineapple and habanero hot sauce. It actually has a bit of a kick which made this pretty tasty. The company recommended adding sparkling water to it so I’ll try that with my next glass.
Drank this while I read Lore Olympus Volume 2 because pomegranate seemed fitting for a Hades/Persephone retelling. I was nervous because the last Chami tea I had wasn’t great but this was pleasant enough. Generically fruity but didn’t taste like grass so there’s that.
