266 Tasting Notes
A friend sent this to me as she was cleaning out her tea cabinet because she had too much. Clearly something I don’t understand. I had attended the same in home party she had when she purchased this and at the time, didn’t care for the smell of the mix.
On first brew, it did not taste much different than a basic black tea blend.
On second brew (as the package says it’s good for 3 steeps), it smelled stronger (but reminded me of wet dog paws) but tasted like hot water. I did let it steep longer (6 minutes) but it remained unimpressive.
Not an impressive tea.
Flavors: Fur, Pecan, Wet Wood
Preparation
Picked up a sampler of Revolution teas at Cost Plus World Market when shopping for a Tea Advent Calendar (different company). I loooove the smell of lavender. This tea reminded me of my time in France and Maui at the lavender farms.
The tea is pretty well balanced; not too floral but not weak. Definitely would drink this again.
Preparation
Ooh, which advent calendar? I’ve ordered 4 so far… (facepalm)
FOUR!!??! I’m pretty certain my partner would raise an eyebrow or two at that. Ohhh but if I could…. I picked up the English Tea Shop calendar at World Market. It was inexpensive compared to the others on my list (next year!)
I guess I’m an overachiever, hah! I couldn’t decide which one I wanted… I also have a jam advent calendar. (shrugs)
I saw a pasta one and a chocolate one. I was soooo tempted. Jam sounds lovely.
I bought this on a whim for a women’s weekend away the weekend before the USA realized a pandemic was actually a thing to worry about. I’ve not seen it in the stores since. I truly do enjoy the tea. I find the flavors to be well balanced.
Flavors: Apple, Vanilla
Preparation
Started using up the last of my Steeped stash. At best, I have found this blend to be a green tea with a faint hint of lime. I enjoyed it more as an iced tea than in my mug. This is my final tasting of the tea (as I just finished the bag) and it is unlikely that I would pursue ordering it again.
