1440 tasting notes

None of my teas have been speaking to me of late and many just aren’t tasting good at all. I’m chalking it up to end of term stress and additional work stress. C’est la vie, I suppose.

However, I broke down and made a cup of this and am so happy I did because it tastes just as lovely as I remember. Perhaps if I’m not asking too much, it can jog my tastebuds to enjoy my other teas as well. The interplay of chocolate and orange is really great here. The rooibos is present, which I usually avoid, but this is the one exception. I always wish I could get more of this one, though I’m not sure it’s even sold any longer.

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
