65 Tasting Notes

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.

Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush from 52teas
96

Yum! I really love the honeybush coconut combo. These flavors really suit each other. This is just like the maple longjohn if you let it cool just a little bit the flavors really start to come through. This is coconuty goodness. I love it!

Sweet and Spicy from Good Earth Teas
34

I don’t know what it about this one but I really didn’t like it. It was way too bland for me. I don’t know if maybe the one I had was old since all the other reviews are talking about strong flavors. Also the sweetness in it was really fake tasting to me. Also looking at the ingredients listed for this tea here on steepster is different then on the bag I had it listed artificial flavoring. I normally like honeybush blends but this one for me was just bad…

I Love Lemon from Bigelow
70

Thanks TeaEqualsBliss for this one! I really do love lemon so I was excited to see this in the group of tea bags she sent me :-). The lemon flavor was a little weak for me. But I added a little bit of honey and it was much better! Not something I would necessarily purchase but, in a pinch it would satisfy a lemon craving.

Masala Chai Tea from The Tea Table
77

Thanks to IrishBreakfastLass for this one! I love chai so I am really trying to try all companies versions so I can find my favorite. This one is pretty good. It is a little lacking in spice for me. I prefer a more spicy chai. But it is good. The black tea used for the base is quite good. But I don’t like that I can taste the black tea more than the chai spices. But otherwise its pretty tasty.

Rooibos Vanilla Chai from Adagio Teas
76

This is a pretty decent chai from Adagio. I tend to prefer chai with black tea versus a rooibos blend. But this isnt bad. Very mild chai which is probably due to the vanilla in this blend. Having it iced this time its pretty tasty.

Shamrock Tea from 52teas
95

This is so sad….this is my last cup of this tea :’-( Such a good mint tea! Oh well.

Thai Chai from Adagio Teas
78

I love coconut and chai. These together are delish! I added a little coconut milk and its even better. I will definitly search out more chai blends with coconut. Really good combo!

Custard-Filled Maple Long John Honeybush from 52teas
91

Trying to backlog some today….This one I love love love. Maple is so delicious in tea. I love having this one in the evening when I am craving a sweet treat. (I have to say tea has definitely saved me some calories these days) Anyway I love Frank’s honeybush blends and this one is no exception. It is exactly what I have come to expect from him. If you let it cool just a little bit you really get the full maple longjohn flavor. Yum!

Gingerbread Spice from Celestial Seasonings
73

Discovered a delicious combo. I use one bag of this and one bag of the sugar cookie sleigh ride and then it tastes like a spiced sugar cookie! For a bagged tea I really like this one. Nice one to have when I am craving some ginger.

The Killer’s Vanilla from Butiki Teas
100

Sipping down two of these this morning! Need to wake up! Working at 6am will do that to you….

Winter Fire from Butiki Teas
97

Just what I needed this morning to wake and warm me up at the same time. :-)

White Peony from Rishi Tea
83

This is very lovely. Very light and subtle just what I was looking for this afternoon.

Matcha Kirara Rice from Lupicia
70

Again I just can’t bring myself to put this in boiling water. (not sure why since this is the second green I’ve noticed that Lupicia states to brew this in boiling water…) So I did my normal steeping for greens. This is pretty good. Not my favorite gemaicha with matcha, but its not bad in any way. It’s just missing something for me I am not sure what though…..

Momoko from Lupicia
79

Had some of this earlier today. It says to steep in boiling water but I don’t like the idea of putting a green in boiling water. So I steeped it at a normal temp for greens. It smells really good very sweet and floral. It tastes really good. I was a little worried about how sweet it would be with the sugar that is in it, but it wasn’t bad at all. A very nice green tea.

Pineapple Oolong from Lupicia
88

I got this in my New Year’s Happy bag. Which was a really awesome deal. Now I have to work my way through trying the different teas. So this one I am having after lunch since I was craving something sweet. So I was good and steeped this instead of having a cookie. Dry it smells like sweetened pineapple and coconut. Steeped it is delicious. Very buttery creamy flavor with just a hint of pineapple. I really like that you can taste the oolong more than the flavoring. Liking this one a lot. Yummy!

Cherry Almond Gunpowder from 52teas
92

I love green tea. I also love cherry almond anything. So this was an instant buy for me when Frank put it up. Such a delicious blend. Sweet with a touch of smokiness from the gunpowder tea. Which helps to tame the cherry so it wasn’t too overpowering. Really yummy!

Grapefruit Dragon from Butiki Teas
96

Got this as a free sample with my order from Butiki. I’m glad I picked it man this is yummy. I will definitely be ordering a full size of this! I love grapefruit and green tea. So I am not too surprised that together they taste amazing. The grapefruit is very subtle. This would be lovely iced but, sadly I only have a sample. But I will definitely adding this to my stash soon. Love it!

Good Morning Sunshine from Butiki Teas
96

I love lemon and this is has so much lemony goodness going on in the cup I love it! This is the first tea I’ve had where I really like the aftertaste. It tastes like a delicious lemon pastry. Pefect way to start my morning. :-)

Superfine Jasmine Downy Dragon Pearls Green Tea from Teavivre
96

Wow this is so lovely. I love jasmine teas and this is a really good one. Very smooth and sweet. It has just the right amount of jasmine not overpowering at all. This is so calming and soothing. I got this as a sample and I must say I can see myself ordering a full amount next time. Thanks Teavivre!

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 :-)
