Spring can be a starting point for exploring tea flavors and recording your impressions. Choose a familiar blend or try something new, then use the prompts below to write about the tea and the occasion.
Explore aroma and flavor
Notice the aroma, color, and taste of your chosen tea. Floral, grassy, toasted, fruity, or spiced notes depend on the particular blend and how it is prepared, not simply on the season.
A tea enjoyed in spring is not necessarily made from a spring harvest. If harvest timing or origin matters to you, check the product's sourcing information rather than assuming it from a seasonal name.
Prepare your cup
Follow the product's directions for leaf quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. Check its ingredients and caffeine information, strain loose leaves, and let hot tea reach a comfortable drinking temperature.
