whosbradpitt drank Salted Caramel Cookie by Cookie Tea (Sips by)

294 tasting notes

sipsby advent, day 2

There are tea flavors that feel like a safe blind buy, and there are tea flavors that make me skeptical from the outset. Anything claiming to be caramel or cookie falls in the skeptical category, and this tea is a great example of why. I found it cloying. I could not taste the green tea. There was that shortbread flavor again (not a fan), the intensely sweet caramel, and something vaguely fruity. I made it about halfway through before I had to give up.

Flavors: Sweet

Great at buying tea, okay at drinking tea, awful at timely reviews. Drawn to fruit, floral, spice, smoke, and flavored teas in general; prefer those that stand well without milk or sweetener. Black is fine, green is better, and red rooibos is trash.

My ratings are for me, so I don’t accidentally buy something that sounds amazing but I’ve already tried and disliked. I struggle a bit with wanting to be “fair” to a tea that other people would probably like, but then my system won’t work!

90-100 A: loved it; would make this a permanent member of my stash
80-89 B: tasty; would pick it up again
70-79 C: good; could grab with a good deal or to try in a different style
60-69 D: okay; would keep in a set but probably would not repurchase on its own
1-59 F: various shades of bad; would not purchase; closer to 1 means may not even drink again if offered.
