New Tasting Notes

Single teabag from a random TTB. The lychee flavor is quite clear, as is the rose flavor. The gentle black base complements the whole. I’m drinking this sweetened cold, and it’s really quite nice.

How is this a sipdown and I never made a tasting note for it until now?! Tastes exactly like the name says. Nice cinnamon kick. I haven’t gotten around to making suggestions for 12 teas of Christmas and this would be a great option for that – going to go comment on that post now!

One never appreciates a quiet house quite so much as the evening following VBS Family Night, which we celebrated with an ear-splitting interactive show akin to Nickelodeon Double Dare or Slime Time Live. Nine-year-old girls can hit a note two octaves above treble clef E that could slice metal. (I loved my little pod of seven kids and nothing you do for children is ever wasted. It was a good week.)

But my private end-of-week celebration is much quieter tonight with a nice cup of this summery blend I found by accident at one of our pricier local natural food stores. It’s my second attempt: I steeped the first cup and put it in the fridge to chill, which ended up in a cold half-pint of artificial honey flavor.

This round, I was more attentive to water temp and scanty with time (pulled it just before three minutes) and it’s much better. Honey and vanilla, yes; but the subtle tangerine that I could barely detect in the cold version isn’t overwhelmed this time around.

not as nice as the other flavours i have tried, but still enjoyable!

i do not consider myself a fruit tea person but this is very nice!!! the cinnamon stands out to me—i think this would be a very warming tea to have in winter!

I ordered samples of as many different teeccino teas as I could during the last Christmas season, then put in an order for several of the heartburn friendly ones that I enjoyed in the spring, plus one or two that weren’t available in the sample sets. This tea made the cut!

I have always said that I love the smell of coffee, but don’t enjoy the taste. I am also very sensitive to caffeine so haven’t had incentive to learn to like it. So, when I tried a couple of herbal coffee alternatives and found that I loved them, I was somewhat surprised and somewhat not.

This Vanilla Nut has a lovely flavor. I have tried it both hot and iced. If I go very light on the blend, I enjoy it on its own. If I go heavier, or leave it steeping a while I add a splash of heavy cream as it gets somewhat bitter if it is strong. It has a sweet, nutty flavor with the rich depth of the carob, chicory, and barley, and just a hint of the date flavor coming through. The vanilla is noticeable plain, but adding cream or almond milk really makes it shine.

Understeeped this a bit, but still a yummy apple flavor.

I’m not typically a fan of green and black blended tea, but this steeped twice and had a nice smooth profile. The buttery maple is the star here, and I wasn’t sure at first, but the second steep won me over. I’ll take an extra bag for later consumption. Thanks for adding it to the box!

This is nicely licorice without being like a black jellybean. A smooth mellow cuppa. Thanks for adding it to the box!

The ginger flavor is pretty good! The black base is a nice background. The ginger tastes like the powdered ground ginger in a spice cabinet. I’m drinking this at room temperature with milk and sweetener, and it’s quite pleasant!

Iced Latte!

Made this with some milk using the “water bottle” method where you just shake the ever loving fuck out of it until the matcha is smooth and frothy. I still am really enjoying the balance of flavours of this one. It’s got a touch of chocolate and a more smooth and creamy mint note that really emulates the icecream vibe well. Not herbaceous at all. And it’s been refreshing as a fruity flavoured matcha alternative this summer.

A very, very glittery and sparkling cuppa that I made earlier this week. It’s light, refreshing and fruity-leaning with some brighter lemony top notes and then a little more of a strawberry note in the midsip. Sort of gives off Strawberry Lemonade energy, but in a more delicate and less sugary sorta way.

I have so many Vahdam teas to drink through, but I never feel inspired to brew them up…

I made this one a few nights ago though because I was craving something more chocolate-y. It’s definitely smooth, and one of the more pleasant and unique Vahdam teas IMO if you’re not super big on all the spice heavy blends. Which is me. But of course it does have some spice because Vahdam really can’t help themselves. Cinnamon, mostly. Almost gives this tea a bit of a Mexican Hot Chocolate kind of vibe that I find pretty pleasant.

If more Vahdam teas were like this I probably wouldn’t struggle to drink through them so much…

Made this as a hot cuppa with a splash of cream in it. The cream definitely added a thick, rich quality and amped up the more buttery caramel notes of the blend. However, I also felt like maybe I was getting more of a fruity undertone as well – particularly in the finish and aftertaste. I couldn’t quite pin down where it was coming from, but it did kind of distract from the caramel popcorn direction. In the end, I might have preferred to just drink this one plain.

I think some of the lychee has unfortunately faded with time, but overall this was a pretty pleasant tropical leaning green tea with more noticeable notes of mango and coconut. Definitely oily mouthfeel from all that steeped out coconut fat, but I didn’t really mind it.
