1962 Tasting Notes

This is one of those teas that I need to have one hand (in case of, ya know, a marshmallow emergency). Such a creamy smooth cup, with the genmaicha and marshmallow flavors being equals and not fighting with each sip. Every mouthful is creamy and smooth. Absolutely excellent.

I just don’t really understand this tea. I don’t get any jasmine or creme brûlée, but more of a sour/gone-off flavor. Intense dislike.

Truly my perfect green. If brewed correctly, rich caramel notes and brown sugar are at the forefront, with a mellow vegetal green flavor at the back. So excellent.

This was a most comforting cup first thing in the morning. The pecan pieces are definitely the most prevalent flavor, with the cinnamon chips being more in the aftertaste. I enjoyed the cup, but would’ve liked a more “pie” like flavor, or even an enhancement in the cinnamon department.

Wow. I was extremely pleasantly surprised by this tea. How would ginger and fennel seeds taste like a cookie? Well, it certainly does. It tastes like a snickerdoodle right out of the oven. So, so good. I rarely re-purchase teas anymore, but I will certainly be doing so when I place my next Plum Deluxe order. This is definitely a tea I want to have on hand. I will steep longer next time as well.

Very much a standard peach tea. Not so much the peaches and cream I was expecting. A syrupy stone fruit note, mixed with slight earthiness of the oolong base. Not bad by any means, but somewhat forgettable.
