151 Tasting Notes
I like this one. I find though that its different every time I have it. The first cup I had iced at davids was really sweet, and minty.. the second cup was more creamy and coconutty.. I like it.. but I am curious as to which is actually the way the blend is supposed to come out.
I’m finding the same thing, actually! A bit of a tea chameleon. Sometimes the mint is REALLY pronounced and sometimes I barely pick up on it at all. I wonder if it’s the water temp or just depends how much mint leaf you get when you’re scooping it out of the bag. I kind of like that each new steep is a mystery :) This tea has been growing on me more and more.
This is the new love of my life. I went through two iced tea packs of it, and part of a tin already, only making single serve ones. I’m trying to be careful so I don’t make myself super sick of it.. but its hard because its so freakin tasty! :) I really like the lightness of this.. it reminds me of pink flamingo but it doesn’t have the tartness (which I think is partially because of the eucalyptus in that blend).. this one, the passionfruit is the main flavour…. which is nice because its not often that a passionfruit is dominant amongst several ingredients. I have only tried this one iced and cold steeped… good both ways :)
Preparation
EDIT: I really enjoyed this one brewed with some almond milk.. I wanted to give it a little substance as I did not have a huge breakfast today.. and so I mixed in a little almond milk… oh my god.. talk about taking it to another level.. it really brought out the creaminess of this tea, which was accented by the orange.. amazing.. sad that this was a sipdown of my last little bit :(
I really, really like this tea. Its a very foggy, crappy, morning in Halifax. Its humid, so I felt like something summery, but still warm. This was the perfect tea to do just that. It kind of tastes like a creamsicle, but a little spicier, which is exactly how I like my creamy fruit teas :)
I really, really enjoy this tea. I had a baggie of it left over from last spring and made an iced one.. it was delicious :) .. I think went to refill my tin that I had with some coconut oolong but they were out.. so I decided to fill my tin with this. I think my little baggie was not the freshest because the tin was EVEN better! :) I love this one iced… I don’t remember how I felt about it in the spring last year.. but this year, I definitely love it :)
I really, really, love this tea. To me, it tastes more like a green with some black tea accent… although judging by the description of it, I think its supposed to be opposite. Oh well, either way, I really like this one. It smells like a bag of gummies, but it tastes nice and crisp and clean!.. I love it :)
I really like this blend. I taste hints of maple, but they aren’t too overwhelming.. it smells like a pineapple upside down cake just out of the oven, and also tastes just like one. I would have liked it a little more had the cherry notes came out a little bit stronger, but nonetheless, its a fantastic tea :)
I love cocoa canela. I especially love it iced… its okay hot too, but its a beautiful pick me up on a summer morning. I think how it is sweet with a little bit of spice. I think that’s one of the downfalls of chocolate rocket for me. Its just a little bit too sweet to drink as a go to. I kept getting to go cups last summer of this one and never picked up any for my stash. I went in there on Friday and they had the 25g bags 2 for 5 dollars. I was so excited to see that, so I picked up enough of them to ensure that i’d have a bit on hand to get me through the first couple of weeks of working full time day shifts at eight am!
Dude. I have a vanilla chai from the Thé kiosque that is potent as all get out. I will send you some of that and some of my citrus lavender sage.
oh that sounds fantastic… im going home eventually in the summer and will get to go to a teavana… but for now i’m hoping i can get some of the trades for the ones i realllly wanna try… vanilla chai sounds amazing… lol janet at work was telling me about some lemon chai she tried at a tea house in the country in ns.. it sounded unreal
