Taster’s Review:

I just love (me Amoré?) the aroma of this brewed liquor.  The blending of roses and mint is not a scent combination I would have really thought of before but together the two create quite a delightful fragrance.

And an even more delightful flavor!

The flavor of this tea is on the delicate side, but that is to be expected when it comes to white tea.  But even though the tea notes are soft, the peppermint and rose flavors are balanced so they do not overwhelm the delicious flavor of the white tea.  It tastes light and fresh with a pleasant sweet note.

The mint with the white tea gives this cup a breathtaking quality!  Very crisp – like a breath of fresh mountain air!  It’s really quite beautiful to experience.  It’s cool and clean to taste and even a little exhilarating, while the white tea smooths these notes out just enough to make this not only an invigorating tea, but a calming one as well.

And then there is the rose!  What a magnificent flavor the rose adds to this cup.  It is lightly sweet and floral and adds just the right feminine touch to this tea.  Overall, this is a pleasant and mellow cup.  Perfect for those quiet “me” moments!  Me Amoré!

Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!

Green Caramel from The Persimmon Tree

Where to Buy:  The Persimmon Tree

Product Description:

Ingredients:  Organic Green Loose Leaf Tea, Organic Rooibos, Caramel Pieces

Characteristics:  Bold, Organic

Flavors:  Sweet, Grassy

Taster’s Review:

This tea is a yummy treat, and while it does have a certain dessert-like taste to it, it is one that would be equally as nice to have as a quick pick-me-up in the afternoon or as something to get you through the doldrums that hit just before lunch!

The base of the tea is light-to-medium bodied, with a sweet, fresh green tea taste and a hint of roasted nut flavor that is very complementary to the sweet caramel-y flavor.  I can also taste subtle notes of buttery taste – I don’t know if this is from the caramel or from the green tea – but it certainly adds to the YUM factor.

The overall cup is sweet and crisp, and while it does have a certain comforting appeal to it, it is also rather invigorating!   I am loving this tea!

Because this tea has a very autumn-y kind of feel to it, I prefer it served hot.  It doesn’t need any additions because it’s delightful as is.  It might even be alright iced too, but to be honest, I finished it up so fast that by the time it would have cooled to judge it on its merits cold – it was all gone!  This would be a delightful accompaniment to a tray of fruit (fresh apple slices, perhaps?)

What a pleasant way to spend the afternoon!   YUM!
