1299 Tasting Notes
SIpdown Challenge National Popcorn Day:
I drank Movie Night the other day so I pulled this one out for today. I love Genmaicha it’ has such a lovely toasted rice flavor. It’s also pretty cheap which is a bonus. I really like teas that taste like rice. I’m gonna drink this and try to relax while taking another test. This is one of those teas that I like to recommend to new tea drinkers.
Flavors: Toasted Rice
Preparation
This is actually my mom’s tea that she picked up at a tea shop in Alaska. I wish it was mine though because it’s really good! The orange in this tea is fresh and yummy tasting and vanilla and mint blend very well with the orange. I think orange and peppermint is a hard combination to balance personally. This tea does it very well and the red rooibos tea base is nice here too. I definitely get winter solstice vibes from the flavors in this tea.
Flavors: Cream, Mint, Orange, Vanilla
Preparation
Another sachet sample that came in the mini sampler I ordered. I wasn’t too excited to try this one because even though I really like tumeric teas I don’t usually like ginger and turmeric paired together without any other ingredients. I have been meaning to start looking for some more turmeric teas since it’s a great anti-inflammatory and I find that it helps during flare-ups.
This is actually not what I was expecting both spices are very mild in this. I can definitely taste the green tea though. It’s a little bit boring but I’m glad that the green tea comes through more than the ginger. I’m gonna sip on this while I take my exam. I would drink this again if I got the chance but don’t need to purchase a jar of it.
Preparation
Ordered this because of Steepster
I was excited to try this since I only recall having tried one other banana tea in the past from A Quarter To Tea. (Still hoping She’ll reopen again at some point)
This one smells so good once steeped and tastes like a Banana Dessert. This is delicious it reminds me of these chocolate covered banana candies that I always get at the greek deli in town. It’s literally that candy but in tea form.

Flavors: Banana, Caramel, Cocoa, Sweet
Preparation
The flavor still is tasty when sipping even though the tea is in tea bag form? Onto the wish list this goes.. :)
I’m right there with you on the hopes of someday placing another AQ2T order. The Grilled Spiced Banana was a favorite of mine.
Tiffany: It’s really good!
Dustin: I never got to try that one, unfortunately. I loved her Turtle Dove tea though!
