hey everyone welcome back to tea time
I recently found out that while I was gone, @sovonight updated their collection of gravity falls tea on @adagioteas and y'all KNOW I had to try out the new stuff.
Ford (Alt): ~2tsp of stuff in 8oz of water. I make tea using my keurig and my streamer stays in the cup until I’m done with the whole drink so steeping time and temperature don’t really apply.
So! Starting out the smell is super light and the color is an orange ish yellow. I can def smell the earl grey in it, but that might be bc that’s what I drink the most of regularly. There’s no advice from sovo about this one yet, so I’m just going for it.
Plain: not a super lot going on. The grey’s in there, but it’s softened by the other ingredients. There’s something else going on but I really can’t put my finger on what. Not bad at all, but not great either.
Plus sugar: (¼ tsp about halfway through)
Much nicer! This is going to sound weird but all I can think about is brown leather suitcases. I’ve figured that the flavor I can’t describe very well is probably caramel (I never have caramel anything), but it is pretty good.
Then I tried putting some milk in but accidentally put a LOT of milk in and now it’s just warm caramel milk with a bit of ashy/smokiness. Which was,,,,,actually really good.
Verdict: a very comfy tea! Gives me major soft, brown leathery vibes and for me the caramel (I’m still assuming what I’m thinking of is caramel) made it a little mysterious and unexplainable. I don’t know if I’ll get more but I’ll def use the rest of the tin.
Unfortunately, I can’t compare this directly to OG Ford bc I used up the sample tin and didn’t order more before he became unavailable in my part of the country :/
(I’m just lucky I got Stan’s perfect big box before he also became unavailable)
Edit: I read my review of Ford’s tea and I have to say that it looks like I had different but ultimately similar experiences trying both for the first time. Both manage to achieve a soft, sweet taste that I’d never quite experienced before. Weird and good.
Props to sovo for making Another tea blend that represents ford well but tastes completely different from the first one.
VERDICT POST REVIEW: I literally made another cup while writing this review so uh looks like it’s a winner folks
