1789 Tasting Notes

This smells SO good. Syrupy sweet. The sweetness in the aroma mellows out in the flavor. The syrupiness morphs into more of dark honey, with some slight bitterness playing off of the honey notes. I get fuzzy, fresh apricot coated in a super dark honey. Also getting some longan and jujube.

Flavors: Apricot, Honey, Lychee, Peach, Stonefruit

This was very kindly given to me as a sample in a recent Floating Leaves order. Sadly I don’t care for it. Another poor tea victim of charcoal roasting, it just overwhelms the tea.

Flavors: Char, Charcoal, Roasted

This tea is so interesting! I’m getting a really strong sweet nuttiness- like sesame brittle or halva. There’s a deep fruity flavor on top of the nuttiness as well- like sugared fruits, or a candy coated apple. Pretty tasty!

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Candied Apple, Nutty, Sesame

The apricot flavor in this is just so delightful. Love having some of these tea bags at work, an easy grab and I’ve found it pretty unfussy to brew, which has also been nice for work.

Flavors: Apricot, Citrus Zest

Finished off a bag of this and I have 1 left. Really delightful cherry flavor!

This is okay. Not my favorite vanilla blend but not bad by any means. Would probably be better with sweetener/milk.

A few years ago I got really sick of any type of roasted oolong, so I stopped buying them entirely and haven’t had one in a while. This is a good reminder of why I don’t like them. The roast flavor covers up the tea itself and I just can’t taste anything except the roast.
The roast on this is light but it’s still so dominant that I can’t taste anything else.

Flavors: Charcoal, Roasted

This is also why I don’t gravitate toward roasted oolongs. It’s rare to find one where you can taste the tea.

Yup, still kind of tastes like generic red fruits.

This was fine. The black base was actually better than expected and the maple flavor wasn’t too overwhelming or cloying.

Had my first cup of this lovely blend in a while and it was so tasty. Nice starchy sweet potato quality that pairs well with the sweet potato notes in the base, with a touch of warming spices.

Flavors: Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Sweet Potatoes
