34 Tasting Notes
I drink matcha every morning. Though it’s still expensive, this is the one when I drink when I’m broke, and don’t have any DT points to redeem (awesome program btw!) The flavor is good (I just feel like I’m spoiling myself when I drink the ceremonial matcha… even though I only buy that one with points, ha!) It’s got that grassy green taste to it (because… it’s green tea), which I do enjoy. It is essential to the flavor, that the water isn’t too hot. When I have a cold coming on I add cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice, and honey to it. Delicious! (I use 1/2 a tsp in 8 oz of hot water, but steepster wouldn’t let me log it that way)
Flavors: Grass
Preparation
My husband bought this for me. I’m not wild about it, but it is nice break from all the straight chamomile I’ve been drinking. (I’m breastfeeding an excessively gassy baby, and the chamomile that gets into the boob juice seems to help) My two year old thinks it’s pretty good, though.
Preparation
I haven’t had a cup of this in a good long while. The first couple cups were magical. It reminds me of those Ghirredellie(sp?) dark chocolate and raspberry squares. Yummy, yummy. My next few I didn’t like… buuuuut I was pregnant, and my taste went all wacky, so I’m basing my review off those first few cups that I loved.
Flavors: Chocolate, Raspberry
Preparation
I grabbed this one, after I read mention of it in a Rita Mae Brown book (one of the Sneaky Pie Bown books, can’t remember which one). A refreshing cuppa… I think I’ll try it iced this summer, I think it’ll be good. I haven’t tried any sweetener or milk in it.
Preparation
This is a basic Earl Grey, which I prefer with about a half teaspoon of raw sugar. I don’t know what it is about bergamot and black tea, but it’s essential for a good writing session, I just can’t seem to settle into a groove with out it. This one is slightly stronger than Twinnings, but I like both.
Preparation
If this one were marketed as a cinnamon tea, instead of a chai, it would have been a better move. Cinnamon is all I taste. I’ve been mixing it with other teas, so it doesn’t come through so strong
Flavors: Cinnamon
