60 Tasting Notes

Casablanca from The Tea Table
93

I’m so glad to have this tea in my cupboard again! I love this tea because it is impossible for me to mess up, it could steep all day and get cold and it still tastes wonderful!

Valentines from Adagio Teas

I am impatiently waiting to take a sip of this, it smells A-MA-ZING! It smelled pretty good when I opened the package, I could smell both strawberry and chocolate, but not in a fake-y way. After a 3 min steep I can honestly say this is one of the best smelling teas I have tried yet, and I am dying to taste it……….first sip was kind of a letdown, way weaker than I expected. Second sip, I am starting to taste more of the strawberry and I do like the flavor but the aftertaste is pretty bitter. I’m going to try adding Very Vanilla Silk next cup and see what that does.

Update: Sadly I have noticed a pattern of headaches after drinking this tea, either straight or mixed in with other teas. No more Valentines for me….

Chocolate Cream from The Tea Table
69

This chocolate tea smells really good when you open the bag, but I agree with my fellow Steepster, it is not a replacement for hot chocolate to be sure. I like it with Silk Very Vanilla soymilk, it enhances the chocolate flavor and sweetens without being syrupy. I would repurchase this if I don’t find a better chocolate tea first. Oh, and I wouldnt recommend smelling the steeped leaves, they smell like vomit. Seriously.

Night of the Iguana Chocolate Chai from The Tea Table

I’m desperately trying to taste this tea, but my allergies are getting in the way! Every once in a while I get a little hint of flavor and aroma and it seems like a yummy tea but I won’t be able to properly rate this until I can breathe!

Kava Stress Relief from Yogi Tea
21

This tea is not my favorite. The flavor needs tweaking and I haven’t really felt a difference in my stress level, even after using 2 bags at once. I think I will continue to drink Tazo Rest all day for stress relief until I find another Kava tea to try.

Coconut Chai from Zhena's Gypsy Tea

I love the way this tea smells, I just wish the coconut flavor would come through a lot more. It tastes yummy enough to finish the tin fairly quickly but I’m not sure I’d get this again.

Tazo Rest Herbal Infusion from Tazo
64

I just picked this up at Target yesterday. I had two cups before bed last night and it did seem to help me fall asleep faster. It didn’t make me super drowsy or anything so I’ve decided to try a cup this afternoon just to relax. I really like the flavor as-is. Lemon is what stands out the most for me, but I can still taste and smell the rosesMy guess would be that if you don’t like Earl Grey you will not like this tea, as the flavors are pretty similar IMO.

Tippy Earl Grey from Golden Moon Tea

FRUIT LOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!!!! That is exactly what this tea smells and tastes like (IMO). I found an Earl Grey that I like! Thanks LiberTeas!

Raspberry Jasmine from The NecessiTeas
61

A pretty smelling GREEN tea that I have to say might actually be crave-able! And that’s saying quite a bit coming from someone who automatically looks for faults in every green tea she tries!

Indian Nimbu from Harney & Sons

Very tasty, I love how the flavors are just barely there!

Pomegranate Vanilla (Sip for the Cure) from The Republic of Tea
41

I too received this as a sample and I thought it was ok, but that’s really all I can say which means I won’t be purchasing it but wouldn’t turn down a cup if offered.

Essence of Assam from 52teas

Thank you LiberTEAS for sharing some of this, it is good but I wish it didn’t have such a raisin-y aftertaste :) Maybe if I decrease the steeping time or something I can change that…

Da Hong Pao from Harney & Sons

I have been putting off trying this and instead have been trying all the flavored teas LiberTEAS sent me along with my Neccessiteas samples. I felt I should take a break from the over-the-top flavors like Strawberry Cheesecake and have some teas that are awesome as-is, no dessert mimicking required. I get the nuttiness that others describe, but I’m not getting fruity. As the tea cools I get a floral finish that seems to get stronger with each sip. I brewed it in my clear tea mug and it’s a beautiful amber color. What a wonderful tea!

Thanks to LiberTEAS for a sample of this!
Dry leaf smell: cocoa and citrus
Wet leaf smell: chocolate-covered wetnap, but that’s ok!

This is a wonderful tea, and I have to say that I could probably grow to really like Earl grey teas by easing my way into it with tasty blends like this! The chocolate flavor is definitely there, but doesn’t smack you in the face (still looking for that chocolate tea btw, if anyone knows of one!)

Coco La Ven from The NecessiTeas
87

So sad I am drinking the last of this sample, will definitely order more but not until I finish the many samples I have right now! I am impressed with this tea, it’s pretty impossible to mess up. I put about 2 tsp. in my Libre infuser mug and left the leaves in there through 3 servings, 8 oz each time, and it still tastes really yummy! I may just keep adding hot water and see how long I can keep this going…

Watermelon Raspberry Green Tea from 52teas
60

My Libre infuser mug has arrived! I literally let out a “yay!” when my boyfriend brought the mail in and I saw the box. I only had bagged tea whilst waiting for the cup to get here because the teaball I had was rusting (ew). LiberTeas has given me so many yummy teas to try that it was hard deciding which tea to use first with my awesome new mug. I chose this because I just had pot roast for dinner and I wanted a nice fruity tea. This is good! AND it’s a green tea! I bet this would be awesome iced, even without sugar.

Tazo Chai from Tazo
85

I have been drinking this and my other bagged teas for now because the teaball I have crapped out on me so I am waiting for my Libre infuser cup to arrive. I hope it shows up tomorrow because I can’t wait to try more tea samples!

Organic Chai Yerba Mate from Mate Factor

Thanks LiberTeas for sending me this! I think this one is in almost even with the Tazo, almost. Maybe if I brew it up just a little bit stronger…man I’m beginning to sound like a broken record with these chai teas…
