Episode 351: Green Gold

December 17, 2015

Teaspressa's "tea inspired by coffee" gimmick sounds good in theory, but how does this carry over to different types of tea? I've tried Manhattan Black, and now I'm trying Green Gold. This is a proprietary green tea blend, so it's hard to discern what all is in here besides the tea. Let's brew it up and taste it!

I'm not a fan. There's a really skunky, bitter quality to this blend that doesn't make it very pleasant to drink when it's hot. It mellows out a bit when it's cool, but I'd love to know what's in the blend that's making it taste like this. The aftertaste is bitter and metallic as well. Not a fan at all. NEXT!
