1299 Tasting Notes
I find myself missing Portal Tea’s old name (Tea Chai Te). The packaging on this tea still has its old name. I’m trying to use up the samples of a bunch of their teas I have. This was a nice chai. I like that you can taste the rose but it’s not an overly floral chai either. The vanilla helps balance the rose. I’m a big fan of rose and this was nice to sip on while studying.
Preparation
Aww, I went to Tea Chai Te and Jasmine Pearl Tea Co and I forget where else in person when I went to Portland in fall of 2018. I should pull out my teas I bought from there and others during that trip and work on sipping those down. haha
I saw they changed the name (I follow them on social media) but never read or heard why they changed names?
This was a free sample and I didn’t measure the leaf so that’s on me for why it ended up slightly over-steeped. I can see a bit of the glitter and it’s pretty! The blueberry is relatively mild, and I couldn’t pinpoint that flavor specifically. The white tea is still quite pleasant but I wouldn’t order this one. It’s kind of boring and white teas just aren’t my favorite. Glad I got the chance to try it though!
