tigress_al drank Elder Grove by Whispering Pines Tea Company

1184 tasting notes

I was surprised by how dark this brewed up. The smell is amazing. Cinnamon is the strongest smell and taste. The berries add a nice note to this, slightly tart/sweet. I think it is the basil that it giving it a minty feel. This tea feels like sitting by a cozy fireplace after a walk in the woods.
I resteeped at 7 and 10 minutes.
Note to self: don’t use the glass infuser and mug because the small bits get stuck and are hard to get out!

Is the cinnamon sweet? I have been interested in this one, but I am always very scared of cinnamon.

Bio

Hello,
I am a nurse. I have numerous hobbies: reading, crocheting, crafting, card making, scrapbooking, photography, shopping, and of course drinking TEA!

I started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I went into a DavidsTea for the first time and have been hooked ever since! My favourite is probably white tea, but I also love black and oolong. I also like a nice relaxing rooibos or herbal in the evening. On Sundays, I like to treat myself and make a tea latte.

My favourite flavours are nutty, vanilla, chocolate, jasmine, tropical, fruity, earl grey.
My dislikes are lavender, rose, hibiscus, banana, and straight green or overly vegetal teas.

I am admittedly fairly generous in my rating scale. Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.

Location

Saskatchewan, Canada
