106 Tasting Notes

Buckingham Palace Garden Party from Hina's Tea
95

I have it mixed with English Evening today. It steeped so quickly that I pulled it out as soon as I was done pouring. It steeped to a lovely dark amber with just a bite of bitterness. The jasmine and bergamot give it the nice smoothness I love so much. I am not noticing a major differance with the English Evening in it. The leaves were not as broken so I am guessing they needed a longer steep time to add to the taste.

Peach Oolong from Hina's Tea
85

The sweetness is overwhelming even without sugar. I like the sugar because it masks the bitter aftertaste and keeps that sweet taste until the next sip. When the pot was brought in the beautiful summer day came back again. This tea is calming for me and I will buy it again.

Apricot Blossom Green Tea from Bewley's
75

I am still not fond of most tea bags. I have had this one in loose leaf and bags and it is excelent both ways. The apricot scent is so strong it wisks me away to my childhood running around in the country on a beautiful summer day.

Plantation Mint from Bigelow
14

I don’t like mint tea. We keep it in the house for the boy.

Wedding Tea from Harney & Sons
67

Absolutly yummy blended with other teas. It mellows almost any tea.

Le Marche Spice from Hina's Tea
1

The boy liked this one. I spit it out it was so bad. There is something that reminded me of a hospital and I can’t put my finger on it.

Sunrise from Hina's Tea
75

sweet smell. A wonderful hint of strawberries. Balanced blend not typical green tea with not overpowering.

This is what I had hoped for with the strawberry oolong.

Lady Hannah from Hina's Tea
80

Rich blackberry scent. Tart and tangy fruit taste. Wonderful fruit pie feel. It is even beautiful to look at with it’s pinky red glow.

The boy says it’s like a rich tart fruit bowl.

Baroness Grey from Hina's Tea
83

Smells lemony and fresh. MMMM soothing, warming with a hint of bitter. All the things I love about earl grey with a hint of tang.

Peach Lift from Hina's Tea
75

The smell is mild, not exactly peachy but not bad. Holding it in my mouth I can taste the peach but sipping it doesn’t bring any fruit thoughts to me. I like it enough but I won’t ask to buy it again.

It does have a lemon tang to it.

Strawberry Oolong from Crown & Crumpet
35

I can’t get this right yet. It’s not steeping like my other oolongs usually do.

If I remeber this one correctly it was either watery tasting with a hint of strawberries or strong and watery still only a hint of strawberries. I don’t remeber liking it very much.

Tropical Fire from Hina's Tea
75

mixed with wedding tea. It tastes like cookies. I am really enjoying this over ice.

Sweet Mystique from Tea Cozy
75

I brewed this much lighter than the boy does. I also put in only half the amount of sugar. Sweet and refreshing. I love this stuff no matter how it’s brewed.

Apricot Blossom Green Tea from Bewley's
75
Jasmine Star Peach from Tea Cozy
25

I didn’t oversteep it this time and I still don’t like it. It is beautiful to look at but not enough to consume again.

Sereni-tea (organic) from Tea Cozy
25

I have never liked chamomile and adding lavender didn’t help this one. The boy likes it so I guess we will keep it.

Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) from Bewley's
25

The leaves taste stale and there is NO bergamot flavor or smell.

Irish Breakfast from Tea Cozy
75

Mixed peach green tea. I can’t taste the fruit but it’s still tart and refreshing.

Sweet Mystique from Tea Cozy
75

One of my favorites. Sweet and fruity. There is something else beyond my description.

Earl Grey Cream from Tea Cozy
75

Mixed with white. It tastes just like non mixed but that could be because it steeped so fast the white may not have had time to loosen.

Ceylon FOP (organic) from Tea Cozy
75
Assam FOP (organic) from Tea Cozy
75

Mixed with pear and white again. Still refreshing and so tasty. I am not to sure pear is still in the bag because I taste no fruitiness.

Green Tea Peach from Hina's Tea

Profile

Bio

I live life the way I beleive it’s meant to be lived. Meaning I do as many things that bring me joy as I can find. One of those things is tea.

I drink tea by the pot. I like loose leaf with sugar and brewed fairly weak. During the summer I brew it strong and put it over ice but I almost always have some tea sitting next to me as I am having fun.
