“January’s subscription box tea! I really liked this one, nice and light and sweet and marshmallowy. Can’t say I tasted anything resembling champagne, the tea was more like strawberry fluff to me....” Read full tasting note
Sweet and slightly effervescent, with just a touch of sweetness.

Sipdown (911)!
Finally finishing this off – it wasn’t a bad cup but I wonder how much of that was just the excitement of getting the sample out of my cupboard. I don’t think I’ve had a sipdown in a long time…
I think it’s a shame that, when I first tried this tea, I really adored it and then I could never really get it to meet the experience I had with the first infusion. I’m currently sitting at a rating of 85, but I just have to lower it because this was just a sort of sour sweet loosely champagne flavoured blend with a weird strawberry note that just felt dull…
Sipdown (220)
Yesterday it dawned on me that in one month I will be done the semester, including my four exams. That seems like it should be a good thing but that means I have less than a month to prepare for four exams that are going to come and go quite rapidly. That was a bit panic-inducing so I am in full blown summary drafting mode. That essentially means I lose hours at a time while staring at a laptop and textbook.
I finally decided to take a break to eat food and decided to treat myself to a latte. This tea jumped out at me because it is on the older side and had just enough to make a latte. Also, I usually use black teas for lattes but after my Maple Marshmallow Latte the other day, I wanted to explore other bases.
My first couple sips of this were amazing. The whipped cream and latted tea combined so wonderfully to make an effervescent but creamy strawberry milkshake. It was honestly the best I had ever tasted the tea. As I keep drinking though, that creaminess is dulled to a milkiness that is making this a little flatter. I still get effervescent strawberry but the flavor isn’t popping like it was in the first few sips.
strawberry sort of cupcake yes. Champagne no, but in my case, that’s a good thing. Not a fan of champagne even mixed with other things haha. this was a nice treat this afternoon while i sit around and do not much of anything after the past 2 days of doing all sorts of things. The sun is shining and i have a nook in the kitchen, in the sun. mmmmm
That happens to me all the time where my first cup of a tea is great, but I can never get it to taste that good again. Now I wait to write a review until I’ve had a tea several times (unless all I have is a sample) because I want to be sure to give an accurate judgment.
That’s totally fair – I know a few people do that approach and I think it makes a lot of sense. In my case I write a tasting note for (nearly) every cup of tea I have; that way I can see a clear timeline of my progressing thoughts or how different preparation methods/mindsets/etc might have affected the cup.
Whatever works for each person!
