drank Detox Tea by Walden Farmacy
2170 tasting notes

I’m working through a list of opened teas, trying to drink the ones I haven’t tried yet. This means that my list consists of either new teas or herbals I’ve been avoiding. This is one of the herbals. I’m not sure what it’s meant to detox from my body, but it certainly smells like a medicinal tea. I think it’s the dandelion root. While steeping, I picked up on some mint (even though there isn’t mint in the blend, curious) which made me hopeful but now it’s just the bitter dandelion root. Honey helps the flavor some at least.

I’d like to blend my own teas and tisanes one day, but goodness I want them to taste good. I know this is probably nutrient-rich, but I’m much less likely to drink it again knowing it tastes the way it does.

I should say, I do like this company’s other products. Especially their salves and tinctures. They also make a good mushroom cacao. I like to support them because they are local, but I’ll probably stay away from their herbal blends unless my husband picks up one to try (which is how we ended up with this one).

Bio

Lifetime student. Lover of books and paper and ink. Kitchen dweller. Aspiring herbalist, excessively proud cat lady, and tea fanatic. Thirty-something elder millennial. She/her.

I love flavored black teas most of all, always with cream and honey. I enjoy floral and fruity teas, as well as flavored or scented ones. I’m not overly fond of green or white teas, but I’ve found a few that I enjoy.

I’m open to tea swaps and/or just sharing what’s in my tea cabinet! Please reach out if you see something I have that you’d like to try. I do my best to update my cupboard regularly.

Rating Scale

1-20: By far, one of the worst teas I’ve tasted. I most certainly will not finish my cup and will likely “gift” the rest to my sweet husband, James, who almost always enjoys the teas I dislike (and vice versa).

21-49: This tea is not good, but if I mix it with another tea or find another steeping method I might be able to finish it.

50-69: This one is just okay. I might drink it again if someone were to give it to me, but I probably won’t be buying more for myself.

70-79: This is a consistently good tea. It’s reliable but not necessarily special.

80-90: This one is a notch above the rest and I would gladly enjoy a cup of it any day of the week. I’ll likely be keeping this in my cupboard, but it isn’t one of my all-time favorites.

91-95: One small change and this tea would be perfect. I’ll definitely have a stash of this in my kitchen if you come over for tea.

96-100: No words can describe this tea. It’s an experience, an aha moment. Closed eyes, wide smile, encompassing warmth. Absolutely incredible. Perfect.
