60 Tasting Notes

Rooibos Chocolate from Forsman Tea
72

This is a pretty tasty Rooibos. I agree with the other reviewer it is chocolaty but in a chocolate liqueur sort of way. I had it plain but I might try messing around with different additions and see how that changes the flavors. I would not buy this normally but it was a nice addition to the Amoda box this month.

Peach Matcha from Naked Teas Galore
68

This is pretty tasty matcha. I was not too happy that it was already sweetened I like being able to be in control of the amount of sweetener in my tea. Oh well this is pretty good. Very sweet but tasty. I like that the peach flavor doesn’t taste fake peachy and it is not overwhelming the matcha. Not one I would necessarily buy but definitely worth a try. :-)

Citrus Earl Grey from Naked Teas Galore
80

I am not a huge Earl Grey person but I do find one I enjoy here and there. This is one I enjoy. I like citrus blends with earl grey. Bergamot tends to work perfectly with citrus. This is a very smooth earl grey no bitterness at all. I even got some creaminess from it without having to add milk which was a definite plus!

Nutty Enough from Naked Teas Galore
93

I really love this tea. The smell of the tea is delicious. I wanted to eat it. The steeped smell is just as good. The flavor is really mild but nutty and sweet. Which has made it perfect for an evening tea the last couple nights. I am definitely going to order a full amount from Naked Teas Galore since I really want to have this in my stash now :-)

Caramel Apple Spice from Yogi Tea
Mango Maté Pu-erh Punch Maté Tea from Teavana
67

Thanks The DJBooth for this one! This is quite an interesting tea. Very unsual in flavor profile. I like the fruity/spicy flavor of it. I agree with The DJBooth on adding cinnamon it really would taste like a holiday tea. But it is quite tasty I like it.

Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish Black Tea from 52teas
100

Oh man this is good. I love teas that taste like a sinful dessert minus the calories :-) Wow this is the first one from Frank that I really want to get a full batch of and always have in my stash. This is so creamy and smooth no bitterness at all. I never want to be without this tea! Yum!

Samurai Chai Mate from Teavana
67

Thanks The DJ Booth for this sample :-) This is pretty good. Its strangely sweet though which was surprising. I agree with one of the other reviewers it almost has a cinnamon gum taste to it. The dry leaf and steeped leaf smell delicious but I feel like the taste doesnt match up. But still a decent mate blend.

Cheesecake Matcha from Red Leaf Tea
96

This is a whole lot of YUM! I agree with the other reviewers that this one done as a latte really makes it shine. Just gives it that extra bit of creaminess it needs. I actually did it with unsweetened coconut milk. Which was a delicious combination. Will definitely order this again :-)

Cinnamon Orange from Village Kitchen Shoppe
93

This tea is from a small shop near where I live. I got it as a gift for xmas last year. It is a really strong blend but I really like it. It is heavy on the cinnamon and light on the orange and I like that. Will probably go get some more once I run out. Also when I go I’ll make sure to find out what the complete blend is since I am unsure of the base tea and I’m curious. :-)

Strawberry from Lupicia
75

Got this as a free sample with the Lupicia letter that comes in the mail once a month. This one is okay but I just wish it had more straberry flavor to it. It smells wonderful and I wish that came across in the flavor. Oh well it was free so I can’t really complain :-)

Cherry Almond Gunpowder from 52teas
92

Man this is my last cup of this too. I’m finishing off a lot of 52’s this week. It’s sad but my stash is looking more roomy for new teas :-)

Gooey Butter Cake from 52teas
95

Oh gooey butter cake how I am going to miss you….this is my last cup of this sigh :’-(

S'mores Genmaicha from 52teas
98

Well there wasn’t any question that I would enjoy this one. I love Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha and Browncoat Genmaicha. This was pretty much a combination of the two and yum what a perfect combination it is. This is a very smokey yet sweet genmaicha. Definitely one I will purchase again when it gets reblended. :-)

Pancake Breakfast Black Tea from 52teas
97

Mmmmmmm pancakey goodness. I don’t know why I waited so long to order this one. I guess I was just not worried since it was a permanent blend so I just kept glossing over it when I went to the site. Man that was stupid! I love this tea. I knew I would love it after I had the gooey butter cake black tea. Frank does the buttery/pastry like flavor the best! I wish this had a little more maple but otherwise it is delicious. Yum sipdown!

Good Morning Sunshine from Butiki Teas
96

Sipdown! But trying to savor it since this is my last cup of this so sad….must order more soon. I love having a lemon flavored tea in the morning espcially one with a good amount of caffiene :-)

Caramel Apple Oolong from 52teas
97

Oh caramel appley goodness. I love this oolong. I love it more now since I tried it once when I first got it but the flavors didn’t come together very well. So I put it aside so the flavors had a chance to blend more with the tea. Now it is perfect! These flavors are awesome with this oolong. Yum! Sipdown for sure!

Pineapple Cilantro Cream from Butiki Teas
100

Thanks for the sample of this one Stacy! Oh man this is so amazing! I have noticed any time Stacy does a “creamy” tea it is always so good. These flavors work really well together. The pineapple is sweet but not cloying at all. The cilantro adds the perfect herbal flavor to the mix. The Bai Mu Dan base is delicious as well. This is just perfection! I love it! Defenitely ordering a couple ounces of this soon.

Chocolate Chai from Adagio Teas
67

This is an ok chai. It needs more of everything actually. The flavor is quite muted to me. I like my chai a little more robust than this. Glad I had only ordered a sample and not a full order of it.

Jasmine Pearls from Love is Tea (LIT)
94

Tried this yesterday but did not have a chance to review until now. I love jasmine green tea. This is a really good one. It is a very smooth green tea and the jasmine was very subtle not too flowery as some jasmine teas can get. I actually liked the second steep better then the first. The flavors came through stronger for me the second time around. Definite yum. Thanks Yssah! :-)

Brown Sugar Fig Black Tea from Ovation Teas
78

Thanks Yssah for this one. I’m agreeing with the other people that recently got teas from the huge liquidation sale from Ovation. I feel like this needs to sit awhile so the flavors can really get into the tea since right now all I am really tasting is the assam and a hint of fig. The assam is good but I just want more fig and I am not getting much from it right now. Think I will give it a week or two and try it again.

Creamy Eggnog from Butiki Teas
98

Oh man this is so yummy. Thanks for this sample Stacy! I love creamy teas and this one is really good. Can’t really say anything new on top of all the other reviews. The base tea is perfect for this flavoring and I definitely wish I had more so I could try adding some nutmeg to it. Oh well I’ll just have to order a full amount. This time sadly was only a sample of this deliciousness….

Boo-Berry Cotton Candy from 52teas
95

Yum! I love blueberry and cotton candy so I knew I would love this one. I just love how Frank has that cotton candy flavor down. This especially tastes delicious iced just like the cotton candy black tea. Really love this one! :-)

Winter Spice from Twinings
67

Had some of this last night. Its not too bad. I wish the apple cider flavor of it was a little stronger. It was a little weak for me. But it was tasty and helped me relax. Which is normally what I grab a chamomile tea for. For a bagged tea this one was definitely not the worst.

Profile

Bio

My name is Heather, it’s probably been about 2 years now since I really got into tea. I love everything about it. I am willing to try any tea once no matter how crazy the blend sounds. I discovered a lot of really good teas this way.
Tea is really a source of happiness and escape for me now. Now if I could just find a job in the tea industry I would complete :-)
