Sipdown (2527)!
Tastes very much like what you’d expect. That typical, highly roasted and dark profile with notes of chicory, date, carob, and barley. Very typical Teeccino composition. Just has a little bit of a sweeter finish with a chocolate-y note. More that chocolate liqueur vibe, but not quite so artificial. Very complimentary. I really enjoyed it.
This one was too bitter for me. With lots of sugar and almond milk, it was decent, but it needed too much help. And I prefer the fun flavors rather than just the basics. This one is apparently supposed to taste like black coffee, and I was never a coffee fan, so it’s not the tea’s fault!
AJRimmer Advent Day 22
I have several friends who LOVE Teeccino and I have never understood it. Maybe you have to be a coffee drinker to “get” it? The roasted chicory flavor is just unpleasantly bitter to me and tends to overwhelm whatever other flavor is present in the blend. This one was no exception. I got a hint of cinnamon, but nothing that was reading “cookie” to my taste.
Flavors: Bitter, Chicory, Cinnamon, Roasted
This is supposed to be butterscotch cream flavor, and I wish I could taste that! The base is mild (or maybe I’m just used to it now). On top of that, I noticed something a bit desserty, but nothing so decadent as butterscotch cream. I recently reordered a few favorites from Teeccino, and this one didn’t make the list.
Ha I have no idea what the name of this tea means, but I’m still working on the advent calendar from last year, and this was next. I definitely prefer the more desserty Teeccino flavors. This one is a little herbaceous, but still not bad.
Cordyceps is a term for fungus, schisandra might be a type, then mushroom incase you didn’t get the cordyceps part and last adaptogen which seems like the new health food hot word like antioxidant once was, but this one has to do with relieving stress. It’s not a name that would sell me on a tea! LOL!
Schisandra is an adaptogenic berry – has a more tart/sour flavour. Dustin’s spot on with cordyceps being a mushroom – the one that caused the zombie outbreak in The Last of Us, actually.
Or – hear me out gmathis – like someone summoning a cartoon superhero while slamming their rings together. Anybody else familiar with the cartoon SHAZAN and no I do not mean Shazam. Ashman was so confused the first time I brought it up because somehow he missed that one in childhood.
I might have missed that one, too. (If it came on opposite from Sigmund and the Sea Monsters or Lidsville, that explains it.)
There should be two z’s in Shazzan, my bad. The camel’s name was Kaboobie. Yes, there was a camel. If I remember correctly, it was a flying camel. It’s been a long time….
I have tried this in tea bag and in loose leaf form and I like to over leaf it so its a strong cup of amaretto. There’s enough date juice in here to make it sweet, and I like this as a caffeinated alternative. It is a bit boozy tasting, would probably make a good mocktail. This is something I expect to keep stocked in my cupboard.
Flavors: Amaretto, Chicory, Dates
This is the last of the three flavors of Teeccino available in my local grocery store (as grounds). I’ve had it hot a handful of times, but mostly I throw two scoops of grounds into a fillable teabag and cold steep it overnight for coldbrew “coffee.”
I’m having a hard time finding this one any different than the Hazelnut I tried last time. Maybe that is due to my brain having a strong hazelnut-to-chocolate association because I’m an eat-Nutella-straight-from-the-jar sort of person, but I’m getting the same roasted coffee flavor, nuttiness, and really dark and bittersweet chocolate. If I had them side-by-side, maybe one leans stronger on the nuttiness and the other on the bittersweet chocolate, but all-in-all they taste “samey” enough to me to not really have a preference of one over the other.
Flavors: Coffee, Dark Bittersweet, Dark Chocolate, Nutty, Roasted, Thick
Preparation
I’m not a coconut fan, but I actually love the flavor they accomplished here. The coconut is light, but it blends perfectly with this base. The base is lighter and more enjoyable than some of the other Teeccino teas as well. The flavor is so desserty, and the second steep tasted just like the first. I’d consider buying a larger amount next time!
The TTB has arrived! So big, so many teas… no chance to try them all!
Tea #13
Well, I just saw a tea bag of this and I knew I have to try it. All the hype about Teeccino here, I just wonder if it is that good or… what it is about.
Yes, even dry bag smells lovely and full of chocolate. When I put it to the hot water, it started to color it so fast… and after 4 minutes it was so dark… and hot chocolate aroma was wafting through the room. I let my brother smell and taste it and he said: “Well, the aroma is great, indeed hot chocolate like. But the taste is… not that good. A cheap chocolate, maybe like chocolate toppings without the sugar added.”
I agree with him, it highly reminds me Hershey’s chocolate syrup minus the sugar. A little bitter too. But mouthfeel is great and while I won’t drink this daily if I had the chance, I would be happy to keep a few in the cupboard for chocolate cravings or/and for guests, who would like to drink hot chocolate — tea.
Preparation
I would have guessed this had vanilla, but apparently it doesn’t. Ha maybe that’s my vanilla almond milk talking. This flavor is quite desserty and tasty! The base isn’t as harsh as in some of the other flavors. It’s straightforward, but smooth and tasty, especially as it cools to room temperature.
I can taste the floral, sour rose, but it’s not too annoying here. The coffee base is also milder than usual. These are not some of my favorite flavors, but it all worked okay, and I’m sure someone who likes rose will really like this. The resteep was decent too.
This is one of the three flavors of Teeccino available in my local grocery store (as grounds). I’ve been putting two scoops of the grounds in a fillable teabag and cold-steeping overnight in a liter jar to make coldbrew.
This is really nice. Definitely has that same roasted coffee flavor of the other Teeccino flavors I’ve tried, but the nutty notes are amplified, and the hazelnut flavor is actually very spot on. I think my brain association with hazelnut and chocolate also brings out a really dark and bittersweet chocolate flavor. It’s a tasty coldbrew but is very thick and mouth-coating, which isn’t always the texture I want for a quick thirst quencher or a cold drink accompanying a meal, but I love the mileage I can get out of a single bag of grounds making coldbrew. I think I’ve been drinking this as my main cold tea for several months now.
I did attempt to try it warm one morning, but I nodded back off into sleep on the couch and when I awoke, it was already cold. Ah well! I’m sure it’s just as tasty warm.
I’ll probably get another bag at some point, but I plan to try the last available-to-me flavor first (Mocha, if memory serves). I did like this one more than the French Vanilla, mostly because it so perfectly nails the flavor on the tin (hazelnut) while the French Vanilla one tastes of coconut to me.
Flavors: Coffee, Dark Bittersweet, Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, Nutty, Roasted, Thick
Preparation
The base is a little too prominent for me. I don’t get much chocolate flavor, but I taste plenty of coffee. So I don’t know that the mocha descriptor is super accurate. I liked this one more when I mixed it with other Teeccino blends that had more flavoring. This one isn’t bad, just a little plain.
