15544 Tasting Notes
Pretty sure this as a sample from kittena? But might have been indigobloom. Either ay I’m happy to try this one even if it doesn’t knock my socks off like laoshan black does :) I did multiple short steeps and while I can appreciate the variety of flavours that came from the different steeps, it just wasn’t my favourite. It’s a lovely cup of tea, don’t get me wrong, I would recommend this to those who enjoy their oolongs.
So I think I have this figured out. The pear flavouring is too strong for me. I ordered the robust flavouring since that’s worked out well for me with cheesecake and caramel, but I think in the pear it’s too intense. I made a pear smoothie this morning and it was waaaaaay intense. I had to back it off with twice the amount of milk that I usually use and it was then that I got the hint of how amazing this would be with the delicate flavouring. I think this is also because pears in general don’t have a super intense smack you in the face taste. They’re delicious and wonderful but also subtle. Now, all that being said, I’m super happy that I think I’ve figured it out so my next reorder of pear will try the delicate flavouring. :) overall still love this matcha, just not quite as much as the cheesecake and caramel.
This might be my favorite Della terra tea at the moment…. Really nice fall tea for those colder evenings. Enjoying this one tonight while I relax. Rally exhausted from the gym today, think I may be fighting getting sick.
If your sick Sil I don’t want it :D you know what’s good for colds? GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!! well it could be…
Lol Helena….wish I had some but I’ve been waiting for my order to get here forever…I’m actually going to be a bit concerned if I don’t get it Monday since its been like 11 business days :( wanted to try those teas before placing another larger order for things including YOUR tea :)
yeah it usually takes 10+ days to get to Canada so I order in advance and large quantity of the good stuff (a.k.a. Good Morning Sunshine) last time I got 4oz and I think 4oz of Almond Indulgence :D
Yeah…it’s never taken the full 10 to get here for anything for me. One of the benefits to living in a major city in Canada. Heh
Winnipeg is a province capital and it still takes forever :D however I’m more than willing to wait since it’s sooo tasty :D
Home from working out and then going to idea and Canadian tire to look for various things as well as find possible ideas for storing tea in our little apartment. Exhausted from all that so I decided to treat myself with a pear latte, thought tossed in a dash of caramel matcha as well. I love how easily I can make a warm tasty beverage that’s has a little more to it than tea. Pear plus the creamy goodness of milk. Mmmmmm
It’s been a pretty Long week for me and my other half. We’re supposed to be getting up and going to the gym but it’s raining outside and he’s still asleep. I don’t get much weekend time with him but because it’s been such a crazy week for us, I decided to let him sleep in, brew myself a cup of tea and take some quiet time to read a book and decide on my tea purchases for this weekend :) listening to the rain and the cars rushing by outside, makes me appreciate the warmth and deliciousness of this tea. Warm malty tones that glide down my throat soothing my throat and making me smile. These are the moments to relish….the here and now because you never know what the next moments will bring. Mmmmm
Sooo…. I can’t give this a rating because i pretty much screwed up brewing my sample a la not enough tea for the water i dumped it in. That being said, from what i can tell i probably would have really enjoyed this tea :) soooo yeah. that’s my story. I’m sticking to it. so there. neener neener neener!
Today’s morning is brought to you by banana, raspberry cheesecake with a spash of caramel! The focus here was cheesecake matcha but I love adding frozen fruit to my smoothies in the morning. Servings of fruit and milk to kick off the morning with yummy cheesecake goodness! I’m getting SUPER excited for my vacation after seeing pictures of the characters on the cruise – this might be the first time i actually get pictures with characters….i’m such a big kid. :)
i think i might have put a bit much matcha in this today… i’ve been bouncing and dancing around the office all morning…. my coworkers think i’m nuts
I loooooove this one. So good…
