This is the first tea I’m trying from the mystery bags I ordered. I couldn’t resist the mystery! Anyway, the first brew of this one tasted like salty cheese. Not cream cheese; more like cheddar. It was super strange, but not horrible. The second steep was quite a pleasant lemon green tea. It’s interesting how different the two steeps of the same leaves were. I made it again today, making sure to get a lot of fruit in with the leaves, and that improved the flavor of the first steep, though I still didn’t love it. So I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this one due to the cheesiness, but the second steep was very nice…it was certainly an interesting one!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
