391 Tasting Notes

Late starting my Christmas advent calendar and I wanted to like this one, but it is too spicy. The chili pepper flakes are strong, and waiting for it to fade out was wasted time. From what I can taste, the chocolate flavor is nice and mellow. I can’t finish the cup…kind of a shame for me.

Flavors: Chocolate, Spicy

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML
Keshwyn

Given that I found I really liked this one, I’m guessing one has to really like chili pepper flavor. It’s good to know that for folks who don’t, this is a tea I shouldn’t serve. (Hi, you’re the only other person who’s reviewed this tea, it’s so nice to find a Steepologie tea I don’t have to upload the description for on my own. Thanks for doing that! :-)

Followed the bag’s recommendation and added some milk. Had whole milk leftover from cooking and it made it really creamy and eggnoggy. I don’t know how it tastes without milk but this is a definite win for me because I love eggnog :)

I’m very thankful for after Christmas sales :D I like this tea, it’s very smooth and comforting. Taste and smell reminds me of cookies and there’s a backnote of fruityness.

I don’t get honey or pear really in this tea. The base green is a stronger taste and smell than anything. I don’t really care for this one, definitely not on my list to buy more.

Nice fruity smell…sweet, grape taste. It’s nice but not something I’d buy a lot of. I didn’t add any sugar to it but it tasted like there might be some candy in the mix.

This a great grapefruit tea. Definitely can taste the citrus and it is refreshing. Would make a good iced tea too probably.

I tend not to be a white tea fan because they’re light and delicate teas. I wasn’t expecting this… it’s got a strong taste that is actually kind of nutty and earthy. Not the white tea I was expecting it to be at all. I kind of like it :)

It’s a little late in the evening to be drinking tea since I’ll have to wake up early tomorrow so this decaf Momo is good to go! I’m drinking tea since its been so cold lately, I love it! Tastes peachy :)

Hello! I am loving reading tasting notes and discovering a whole world of teas. My favorite type is definitely black teas. I prefer flavored, dessert types. I love sample sizes so I can try a little of each and have had fun swaps :). My bank account has been crying since I found steepster but I’m trying to exercise (find) some restraint and it helps that I know I’m not alone lol.
