186 Tasting Notes

Neptune from Lupicia

I like this tea, maybe I will buy it next time I get to Lupicia. It’s nice – warm & syrupy honey with a sweet smell. I haven’t tried it cold yet… I may have accidentally stolen my mom’s sample teabag… Eh, she won’t notice :)

Fireside Spice from Della Terra Teas

I think the neighbors construction is stirring up dust because I’ve been sneezing and have a runny nose this morning all of a sudden. This is a nice, spicy tea. Perfect to cut through my runny nose and help me clear up. I notice more sweetness as it cools.

Golden Fleece from Verdant Tea

All these reviews have delicious descriptions so I really wanted this. And then when I got it, I wanted to wait till I had actual time to enjoy it and do more than one steep to fully get it.

It’s good, the smoothness is the best. I don’t get any of throat irritation at all and it has that nice mouthfeel that has been described. I am full of tea… I steeped 4 mugs so far. My favorite was #3, I got that hint of chocolate sweetness and the creamyness was just right. No sugar or anything needed.

White Christmas from 52teas
74

Just what I needed for standing on the side of the road, in the dark, freezing in the early morning to cheer on and direct marathon runners. Good job people, keep running so when you all passed I can go home! Gotta love the things we do for service club activities. The mintyness kept me peppy and in good spirits :)

Strawberry Snow Creme from Teavana

This was sooooo tart. Way too much hibiscus in it, tasted just like the jamaica juice at Maui Tacos. If only I knew how to make horchata then I could cut it half and half like I buy from there and it’d be awesome. I got no strawberry cream taste at all…

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie from Della Terra Teas

I thought I would love this one a lot based on people’s reviews but I’m just not getting it.

Tsugaru Green from Lupicia

I do like free samples, good thing one comes with Lupicia’s newsletter. This one had a crisp green apple taste but not too strong. My dad really seemed to like it, even asking for the info on it and reading the newsletter.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Della Terra Teas
Chocolate Raspberry Truffle from Della Terra Teas
80

This is pretty good as an iced tea. I wasn’t sure it would be ok, but the chocolate and raspberry come through strongly. I didn’t even need to add any sugar.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Della Terra Teas

This tea has the most awesome smell. Just like butterscotch candies. The taste is really good too, juts like the smell. Caramel/butterscotch. I don’t know where the pineapple part went…maybe next time? Too subtle for me to have noticed while at work?I definitely want more.

Lime Chiffon from Della Terra Teas
75

I did this iced today in the morning and it was really good. I like the creaminess.

Chocolate Almond Coconut from Della Terra Teas
Passion Fruit Na Pali from Hawaiian Islands Tea Company
87
Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEA

This has to be one of the yummiest smelling teas… like a spicy, fruity cookie maybe. It was much better for me as an iced tea than hot. I took it to work with me until I used up the sample.

Profile

Bio

Hello! I never knew there were so many teas and retailers. There are, of course, too many to buy all at once so I’ve been happily reading the many helpful notes to help me decide.

I like to add milk and sugar to my tea so I think I favor black teas. I like green teas with honey. I don’t think I’ve tried many white teas yet… I look forward to finding a tea that I can call MY FAVORITE and would be the tea I would want to be shipwrecked with to drink until I die – in the meantime, I will just try a whole lot of whatever I can…

Nice to know there are many people interested in tea that I have the chance to make friends with and maybe swap some teas eventually.
