Weight to Go

Name: Weight to Go


Brand: Teavana


Primary Type: Pu'erh


Dry Scent:  This has a rich smell from the pu'erh tea, which supports bright notes of citrus and orangepeel, sweetness from the strawberry bits, and some more musty herbal scents from the mints as well.  A complex scent, which you can't take in all on one sniff.


Steeping Time:  4-5 min


Steeped Flavour:  The mints in this add a strange, mustiness to the otherwise sweet and fruity tea, I think they're enhancing the flavours of the beetroot in this.  The pu'erh's earthiness does a good job at rounding things out, however, and keeping all the other flavours mostly in line.  Overall not bad although not my favourite of the "slimming" teas.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is definitely a good breakfast tea.  It's got enough caffeine kick to get you going, and won't overpower a simple meal.


Rating out of Six Tails:
4.5/6
