147 Tasting Notes

Hmm….cup of the evening before I switch to herbal…

It’s pretty good. The base is kinda astringent which I think is odd. And the spices are much weaker than I would like for a chai.

It reminds me a lot of the Pumpkin Spice I had from Harney’s a couple nights ago. Except a little more bitter because of the black base. Hubs really likes it… I think it’s ok….still not the perfect Pumpkin Chai….. alas. I will search on.

um YUM! Thank YOU Stacy for this sample in my last order!

This is so good… mean the aroma alone… I wanna just keep my nose in the cup all day.

It does remind me of an almond cookie. A pretty good one too (and I have had my fair share of cookies ;) )

It also kinda reminds me of Harney’s White Christmas…except the base transforms it into a different kind of tea. So if your not a fan of white Christmas and were hoping to find a tea that really is more almond…a stronger base…this is it….

Will be ordering

Thank you Stacy for this sample! I got it so long ago and I’m just now trying it.

Good black tea. It’s just what you need in the am.

I don’t know that I’ll purchase this one…kinda more fond of the Taiwanese Assam. But it is a good straight black tea. :)

Thank you Stacy for this sample in my last order….you will be getting a very large order again from me soon…. :)

So I had my hubs pick out my tea for the evening and he picked this one…hands down he said it smelled awesome.

And it does.

So I brew it up….take a whiff…I don’t really smell banana….hopes dwindling….

But then I take a sip….(In the voice of Donkey Kong) “Ooooooo Banana!!”

Yummy!!!!!

Now I want to run around like a minion yelling “BANANA!”

Off to watch some nerdy television. Hubs and I are catching up on our Merlin…

Doing a little work today…it’s sort of been a strangely calm day at my house today which is rare….and almost never happens..

but it’s a good day to drink a little tea and do a little work

Last time I made this I think I oversteeped it…so I didn’t rate it…and hadn’t had a chance to try it again till today.

It’s really a very nice black tea. Very enjoyable :)

Also EXCELLENT iced :)

I’m a cookie and dessert blogger from Texas….sort of. I love tea…always have…but since my husband and I cut out our nightly glass of wine the tea obsession has begun. Now I can’t get enough tea! I’m so glad I found this community. I learn a lot and it’s really fun.
