drank Calm Me Teatoxy by Teatoxy
1379 tasting notes

The second tea I have to try from Teatoxy. I’ve been out for a lovely three course Italian meal with family and my day has gone very well (so far), now it’s time to relax and play Pokemon before bedtime.

This blend is sweet and very minty in it’s raw state. Large leaves and fruit pieces all of which look and smell natural make up this amazing sounding blend. It’s a nice refreshing peppermint scent, nothing too strong nor dry.

It suggests leaving the tea to steep for 10 minutes to receive the full benefits and I will give it a go, I don’t mind strong tea :)

Colour is red/purple and it smells softly of mint and flowers.
Flavour is also fairly light and fresh. Light mint and hibiscus (though honestly it is minimum hibiscus ie non thick, nor super sour) with a herby after taste. A little sour but also with a touch of sweetness.

It’s a nice mint tea, nothing is too strong despite the long steep and after such a large meal my stomach has been settled. The mint is fresh and has no bits nor dryness. I love mint teas but have had some tragic blends over the years…happily this is not one of them. It’s lovely!

Flavors: Herbs, Hibiscus, Peppermint

Bio

I’m 34 years old from Leicester, England named Kayleigh.

I started off many years ago drinking herbal and fruit teas which over time peaked my interest in trying new types. Eventually I began to import and sample many different teas and cultures which I still do today. My life goal is to try as many teas and ways of having tea as possible.

Tea wise my cravings change constantly from pu erh one month to jasmine green to the next and so on.

I also enjoy watching Japanese Anime and horror films.

I am always up for tea swaps so if you see anything in my virtual cupboard then please contact me.

A short list to help swapping with me easier though honestly I am not fussy and am willing to try anything. Plus the notes below are usually, sometimes I love a tea that has an ingredient I tend to dislike and other times I hate a tea that I thought I would love.

Likes: Any fruit but especially melon and orange, vanilla, all tea types (black, green, white etc), nuts (any), flowers, ginger, chai.

Dislikes: Licorice, aniseed, clove, eucalyptus, lavender.

My rating system
I have my own way of rating teas that makes each one personal. I have different categories, I rate each tea depending on what it is made of. For example: I rate green teas in a different way to black teas or herbal teas. So black, white, green, Pu Erh, Rooibos, Oolong, blends and tisanes all have their own rating system. That way I can compare them with other teas of the same or similar type before for an adequate rating. And when I do give top marks which is very rare I am actually saying that I would love to drink that tea all day, every day if possible. It’s a tea that I would never turn down or not be in the mood for. So while I agree that no tea is 100% perfect (as nothing is) I am saying that it’s as close as it comes to it. After all, in my book the perfect teas (or close to perfect anyway) are ones that I could drink all the time. That is why you will find a high quality black or Oolong will not have as high a score as a cheap flavoured blend, they are simply not being compared in the same category.
