Moving Tasting Note to the right spot
Tasting note from 3 years ago:
Opened this up yesterday and followed a recipe from this company’s social media page.
The Matcha Basil Lemonade recipe was actually pretty easy to make and turned out great. The whole family loved it. It uses fresh lemon juice and honey to create the lemonade aspect of the drink. If anyone want’s the recipe I’d be happy to share it.
Preparation
(Skip this part if you just would like to get to the tea note)
My bad health ‘day’ has lasted a little over a week now basically right around the time classes resumed. So I’ve switched to just drinking herbals mainly for the meantime. This past year I was finally going to try and see some new specialists to problem solve my chronic pain/health issues etc. Then Covid hit and I was informed that the medical offices were closing temporarily only doing zoom call appointments. So my waitlist spot is back at the beginning again.
This is one of my go to I’m not feeling good teas. It’s one that I grew up drinking even before I had decided I liked tea. This is a good vanilla mint cheap herbal tea. It’s creamy even without milk added and the chamomile works really well with the other flavors. Love this one. I often rotate between the original Sleepytime tea and the Vanilla one.
Flavors: Creamy, Hay, Spearmint, Vanilla
Everybody needs a small arsenal of no-fuss, no-nonsense, reliable bagged tea that one doesn’t have to think about. I think there are a lot of folks who would put Sleepytime on that list.
Hope you get feeling better soon.
Gmathis- Exactly!
Mrmopar- Thank You, I hope so too.
Lexie, I hope you find the root of the problem! Chronic health issues are awful. I follow,Stop,Chasing Pain on instagram and it is amazing to hear the stories of people who suffered for a long time and finally find their answer. I hope you get yours soon.
Honestly am disappointed that this one didn’t work out for me brewed hot but I cold brewed some of this and it’s much better. Not bitter whatsoever and has a delicate green tea flavor. I still prefer to drink my green teas hot so this won’t be a repurchase for me. Luckily someone else in the house enjoys this one hot so I’ll have some help going through this tin.
Preparation
Such a shame! I love this one!
I have a whole tin of this that I haven’t tried, hopefully I like it better than you did! XD
Heh, I actually prefer my green tea cold-brewed and it’s usually always in my stay-cold water bottle!
I feel like everyone seems to like this one based on the reviews. I’m still gonna try and get a good hot cup from it but so far no luck.
Love this tea and brewed a cup of it tonight since it’s not caffeinated. and I was craving a fruity tea tonight. This one is lovely and reminds me of grenadine both in color and taste. It’s one of the first loose leaf teas I tried when I first started getting more into tea. I like this one better as a tea pop but just made it warm with some agave for tonight. Off to do some textbook reading and then maybe watch an episode of A Million Little Things.
Preparation
I love this one too!
I only recently figured out that you probably don’t mean a tea popsicle? Are you adding the tea to fizzy water and sugar?
So DavidsTea has TeaPops that they serve in store which is like a tea soda. It’s usually made with club soda/sparkling water and agave or honey. I make mine with a little agave personally. This is the DavidsTea recipe but if you follow their version it uses a lot of tea leaf. http://blog.davidstea.com/en/recipe/teapop/
Ha, I’m the exact same, for so long I thought people meant popsicle! But as it turns out, I guess I have had a tea pop before – I remember using up a Teavana fruity blend I didn’t like that way many years ago.
I live in an area where “pop” is the standard instead of “soda” so I always assumed it was “tea turned into a sweet carbonated drink,” heh.
oh man! I ALSO thought everyone meant popsicle until this very moment. haha. My brain never even imagined tea soda.
Okay, I make these a lot! I usually make simple syrup and tea concentrate, but I call it tea soda! I make vanilla “Coke” and cream soda syrups, as well. I just kept thinking popsicles all these years and recently started wondering since it is a regional thing to call carbonated drinks pop or soda.
