100 Tasting Notes

The recommended steeping time was not available with this tea. Steeped the tea for 3 minutes. Tea smelled like old lady perfume and a strong candle. Tastes like nothing. So many competing flavors, but somehow none of them showed up. Tried 10.2018.

Steeped 1 pouch in 2 cups of hot water for 3 minutes, then poured over 2 cups of ice and cold water. Chilled in pitcher overnight. Smells like the blue raspberry gelatinous locker freshener from Bath & Body Works that I had in Middle school – very artificial berry smell. Tastes like the smell but very diluted. Tried 10.2018

Flavors: Artificial, Berry

Steeped 3 min. Tastes very bitter. Very faint almond and cherry flavors, but the bitterness over-powers it. Could maybe improve with less steeping time, but not good enough to try it again. Tried 10.2018

Smells nice and chocolate-y. Tastes pleasant but very dilute and almost flavorless. There attempts at chocolate flavors, but it doesn’t quite get there. Steeped for the whole 5 minutes to try and enhance the flavor – no change noted. Drinkable, but tastes like drinking hot water. Tried 10.2018
