1962 Tasting Notes

46

Made on the stovetop with oat milk and honey.

Ended up liking this less than the Saffron Chai. I couldn’t detect any rose and just a hint of cardamom. The ginger was most present, with a really unpleasant hay flavor.

If you’re wanting a more rose-forward chai, highly recommend Hill Station from The Chai Box. It was too rosy for me, heh heh…

Vanilla Rose Chai by Portal Tea is quite nice too.

Mastress Alita – I was just about to look through my notes and find which Rose Cardamom tea I have had and it is the one you mention from Portal! It was good.

Made this stovetop with some oat milk and honey.

This has a surprisingly strong saffron flavor. It actually overwhelms all of the spices, and is a bit too much. Not terrible but not to my personal preference.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Cloves, Ginger, Saffron

drank Grey Brûlée by 52teas
1962 tasting notes

Earl grey isn’t generally my favorite, but I usually love the 52Teas earl grey blends. This is no exception. The slight creamy, custardy flavor of the creme brûlée combined with the bergamot is delicious.

Flavors: Bergamot, Creamy, Custard

This reminds me of a peach lavender candle I purchased years ago that I absolutely love. I won’t burn it since it’s not made anymore and just sniff it occasionally.

The apricot/lavender combo here smells amazing, though I wish there was more of the stonefruit in the flavor. I mostly get really herbaceous lavender, which just a touch of the fruit. This blend would be incredible if the flavors were more balanced.

Flavors: Apricot, Herbaceous, Lavender, Stonefruit

I had been wanting to try Simpson & Vail for many years and just never got around to it. Since they released an advent this year, I decided it was time and placed an order for that, along with a gift and a few other teas.

This smells absolutely amazing. Like honey coated lilacs. It tastes lovely too. Really strong honey and lilac flavors. Really impressed with this, especially for the cost.

Flavors: Honey, Honeysuckle, Lilac

Sipdown 68 – 2024

Really enjoyed this. Drank hot, but would probably be really tasty iced. Tastes like roasted seaweed. Really savory, lots of umami.

Sipdown 67 -2024

Really enjoyed this and will probably repurchase at some point. Mostly creamy caramel and candied orange. I didn’t get any rosemary.

This is fine. Generic red fruit black tea. Probably wouldn’t purchase again.

But, realized this has catnip in it. One of my cats absolutely lost her mind trying to steal the used teabag and stick her head into my brewed cup.

My cats are always trying to steal my mint teas, I guess since they’re close enough to catnip?

Yes! I had a cat growing up that would break into the cupboards to steal peppermint teabags.

tea-sipper

hah! That tea should definitely come with a warning for cat people! Also, maybe those other “mint” teas that cats were interested in were really secretly catnip?

amandastory516

Honestly they could have had catnip in them!

Super tasty! The marshmallow is really subtle, and the strawberry has a nice balance of tangy and sweet. Very easy to drink.

This is just okay. Not getting any apple. Slightly caramelly, with some licorice in the background.
