1436 Tasting Notes
I’m tasting mint and lemon and something else I’m not familiar with. This one’s pretty tasty but I’d have to be in the mood for mint to enjoy it.
Preparation
I love this one to help shut my brain off before I go to bed… I’m not normally into chamomile but this is forgivable.
Hah yes the more I have the more I feel it may shut my brain off rather than back on for my last few pages of reading here.
:p Good luck! It’s a good one the night before a test when you need to just chill out.
I had a mild ice coffee addiction in the summer, but the smell of this one is a bit off putting. Also getting a subtle whiff of maybe banana? I’m not seeing that in the ingredients.
This one’s not for me. I’d just have coffee if I wanted coffee, rather than a coffee-tea hybrid
Yeah I know what you mean! Sometimes I feel like I’d be better off drinking cocoa too, instead of chocolate teas. Some hybrids just can’t compare.
what kind of mugs did you get?! my roommates and tea guests all tell me how much they love my cups and mugs from davidstea. also i’m having this mate for the first time right now. and it’s definitely missing something.
I got their “The Perfect Mug” with blue seagulls flying on it :) Reminds me of home haha. And also one of the Asian style mugs (neither are offered anymore) but I use the Perfect Mug always. I’m actually going to invest in another once some more summery ones come out :)
i have 3 of the asian style mugs and i’m so glad i got them when i did. if i ever want to get someone a tea gift that’s new to tea i will probably get them a perfect mug . in fact maybe i’ll go order one for my sister right now.
Thanks ToiToi for sending me this sample!
Smells pretty good. Not nearly as strong as an earl grey so hopefully this one will sit well. I’m enjoying it more than pure earl grey, but still it’s not what I’m looking for in an earl grey.
Preparation
My grandparents got me the matcha essentials kit for Christmas so I had to try it out. I’ve only had matcha as a ‘green tea latte’ with coconut milk.
I Googled how to make a matcha latte and I followed the instructions (minus the milk frother – perhaps I’ll order one). It’s a grassy, earthy taste. I’m enjoying it, but added a bit of coconut syrup to sweeten.
These teas by 52teas smell amazing. Incredible. I only steeped this for for 2 minutes to avoid any bitterness and I’m thrilled the bergamot isn’t overwhelming. Actually the taste of this tea is much more subtle than the scent. The cheesecake and black base tea are more pronounced than the bergamot.
Thanks to Will Work For Tea for yet another awesome sample!
