2279 Tasting Notes

This really tastes something like pancakes with syrup! It’s not as good as the 52teas version of course, but it’s quite pleasant! It tastes a little bready, and the syrup tastes authentic too. I’m loving this sweetened with milk! It was probably my favorite find from the last TTB. It tastes even better cold after it’s sat all day, and the resteep is delicious as well.

drank Latke Love by DAVIDsTEA

You know, this one is quite starchy/potato-y. I also would have guessed apple? With milk and sugar, it was actually pretty enjoyable. The rooibos was a great choice, and I could picture there being applesauce on top, though I don’t prefer my latkes served like that. I really appreciate what this blend was trying to do, and I think it did a good job. It tastes best at room temperature or cold, and I find myself craving this one pretty frequently!

drank Tango Grey by Plum Deluxe

It’s hard to decide what I think of this one. I taste the orange and rooibos with a bit of bergamot. It’s fine cold, if a little too tangy. Once I add milk, it gets more of a creamsicle quality, but I no longer notice the bergamot. I think it’s a bit of a strange blend.

I feel like this is a blend I’ve had before from a few companies, just with butterfly pea flower and maybe a few other ingredients added. I enjoy the cherry flavoring they use. It’s not too tart, just fruity and nice. I did remove the butterfly pea flower and would probably buy a similar blend from a cheaper source instead. The cherry and coconut combo is super refreshing!

TTB sample. It reminds me of Lupicia’s mahina, which is a banana rooibos. With milk and sugar, this was a bit average, but not bad. Sometimes I taste the berry, but sometimes that interesting banana.

From a Sips by box. This tea isn’t anything special. I taste some slightly tart fruitiness. It’s a bit weak, but I was afraid it would get sour if I steeped it too long. It tastes like red fruit, but super average.

Now this is a pretty good mint chocolate rooibos! It’s definitely heavier on the mint, but the chocolate quietly makes an appearance as well. Sweetened with milk, the flavors really shine, especially when it cools down. I just ordered a different mint chocolate rooibos for my stash, but I might order myself some of this seasonal tea the next time it’s back!

TTB sample! This isn’t bad! The flavor is pretty light and pillowy and pleasant. I don’t taste the lemon and ginger distinctly, but it is quite gentle and nice. The flavors combine well.

Plain, this is really savory and earthy tasting. Since there’s a lot of chicory here, I added sugar and almond milk, and now it tastes similar to a Teeccino blend without much flavoring. I definitely prefer Teeccino. Now I feel like I’m mostly tasting the almond milk. This one just isn’t at all pleasant to drink without the extra help. I guess I don’t get it.

I’m glad I only bought the zodiac sampler because of the 12 teas, there’s really only one I’d like to have again.

drank Peach Praline Green Tea by 52teas
2279 tasting notes

I taste a lot of peach here with a bit of nuttiness too. I like this sweetened with milk, but I don’t love it. The flavor combination is interesting, but the base was a bit stronger than the flavoring and sometimes contributed some bitterness even when steeped properly. The resteep tastes similar to the first.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
