6124 Tasting Notes
Sipdown! One of my last two packets of the original Bergamot Kisses. A bit too much stuff in this one, so it ends up a bit sweeter than I’d prefer, but I like the general idea of it. Probably one I should have with milk a bit more often. I think I have a couple bags of Chocolate Earl Grey lurking somewhere.
Sipdown.
I had this a few times and like other peanut butter teas, I just couldn’t perceive the peanut butter flavour at all. It could be that after having peanut butter powder in a smoothie, I’m expecting that level of flavour. Either way, disappointing. I drank this a while ago and oddly can’t remember my thoughts on the hojicha powder, just the lack of peanut butter flavour.
@skysamurai Totally get that additives in tea is not for everyone, but for whatever it’s worth this is an entirely natural product. The chocolate comes from cocoa powder and the peanut butter is a natural peanut butter flavouring.
I’ve determined that brewing teas at work generally is a suboptimal experience – it’s probably the water, somehow, but tea definitely just doesn’t taste as good as it does at home (where we have softener, brita-filtered water… which doesn’t seem like it should be the ideal combo but seems to work). This tea lived at work for a while, and I’ve only drank it there, to mediocre results. Different story tonight at home – rich and bready base, roasted strawberry near the back. A slight bit of astringency to remind you that it’s tea. Definite creaminess lingering on the palate after swallowing. This is really quite good. At its core it’s really just a strawberry black, done by countless tea companies, but the execution is definitely the best I remember tasting. Yum. Too bad I only have one packet of it!
