65 Tasting Notes

Winter Dream from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
65

This is really strong. As other reviewers have said the cinnamon is a little overpowering. But when I made it as a latte it was a lot better. The milk tames down the intensity a little bit. I love the smell of it. It definitely smells like winter. This was given as a gift to me for Christmas, so not something I would buy again but still tasty.

Comfort and Joy from The Republic of Tea
34

This is backlogged from a couple days ago. It was a free sample I got with the catalogue so I am definitely glad I didn’t spend money on this one. This one is ok. I have to say it smells better dry then it does brewed. It is sadly really bland brewed. If it tasted the way it smelled out of the package it would’ve been delicious. Oh well it was free so I can’t really complain too much…

Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha from 52teas
93
Winter Fire from Butiki Teas
97

I am loving this! I am quite tolerant of spicy things so this isn’t really that spicy to me. The spice is there but it doesn’t bother me like I am sure it does to some. But I am loving the combination of cinnamon and cayenne. This is a great pick me up in the morning. This is the wake up call I need sometimes. Another bonus of the cayenne is that it is a good spice to jump start my metabolism in the morning. I will definitely have some of this in my permanent stash :-) Thanks Stacy another great one!

The Witching Hour from 52teas
94

I really like this tea. I am a huge fan of anything mint and I have found that I am really starting to like Tulsi the more I try it. I’m really enjoying this blend I can taste the mint but I like how the tulsi and rooibos add a warm spice flavor to it. Its a spicy mint (not so much cinnamon spice but more of a savory spice) which I am really digging. Very unusual but I love it. Thanks Frank for creating this unique blend :-)

Banana Cheesecake Genmaicha from 52teas
95

This is really yummy. I did not expect anything less from Frank especially when cheescake flavoring is involved. I am a huge fan of anything with banana flavor so this was a no brainer to purchase. Another one that I will be really sad when it runs out :-(

Apricot Guayusa from Butiki Teas
97

Yum! This is really good. The smell of the dry leaf smelled like a sweet apricot and hoped that brewed it would taste just as good, and it does! I also love how the subtle spice of the guayusa works with the apricot. Really delicious way to wake up this morning. Thanks for creating this one Stacy!

The Killer’s Vanilla from Butiki Teas
100

Oh wow this is so yummy! I love lavender, vanilla and mint. The combination of these flavors with Guayusa is perfect. I can’t get over how much I am in love with this tea. This is going to be a staple in my house for sure. Bravo Stacy!

Jasmine from World Market
71

This isn’t too bad. Not my favorite but its not horrible either especially for the price. Its just a pretty basic Jasmine green tea.

Peach Blossom from Rishi Tea
85

My Mom picked me up a can of this from Whole Foods and I must say I am enjoying this a lot. Love the peach flavor. I was worried it would be a little overwhelming due to the strong peach scent from the dry leaf. But the brewed flavor is a good balance of peach. I like that this tastes just as good if not better iced. Definitely glad whole foods carried this because I am not sure if I would’ve ordered it from their online site since I normally don’t go for white teas. But now I would get it again for sure. Yum!

Gooey Butter Cake from 52teas
95

Drinking this right now and I love it. I love the way the butter flavor works with the black tea. When it comes to butter or cheescake flavors in teas Frank is always spot on! Really like this one. :-)

Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha from 52teas
93

First the smell of the dry tea alone is amazing. It smells like sweet marshmallowy goodness and the roasted rice gives it the perfect toast smell to it. I got the most recent reblended version of this so I was really excited that I would get to try it :-)

Oh wow this is amazing. I wish this was on the permanent list on 52teas I would buy it all the time! The combination of marshmallow root and the roasted rice is perfect I am surprised more companies haven’t tried making this before. But that’s what makes Frank great, he makes blends other companies don’t even think of.

I am sipping this cuppa as I write this and I just can’t get over how good this is. Yum!
Bravo Frank!

Butterbeer from 52teas
88

Oh man this is delish! I just love that Frank can come up with these delicious crazy blends and actually do it successfully. This is so buttery and yummy. I really like the root beer flavor of it. I loved it hot but I think it is even better iced. Next I think I’ll have it iced with ice cream and make it a Butterbeer float! :-)

Graveyard Mist from 52teas
94

I love green tea. I have at least two cups of it a day. With that being said this is a really good one. I love the green tea blends that Frank comes up with they are always so good. With this tea it is no exception it is really good. I love the combination of the marshmallow root and mint it tastes so good together. I love that the mint is not overpowering. It is the right amount of mint and the right amount of sweet. Love it!

Shamrock Tea from 52teas
95

I love peppermint and green tea together. I am drinking this in the morning and it is exactly what I was looking for. Really refreshing. A lot of minty teas I’ve tried before the tea flavor gets lost in the mint but with this one I can still taste the delicious green tea. Love it!

Adagio - ingenuiTEA from Teaware
87

I really like this gadget. Not too expensive and durable. I love being able to watch the leaves move as they steep. It makes it really easy to resteep leaves as well. Glad I bought this.

Red Rocks from The Tea Spot
82

I really enjoy this tea. I knew I would like it the second I opened the tin. It smelled like cherry tobacco! The smell of it brewed is just as good. This is one of my favorite rooibos blends. I love almond and vanilla together always a yummy combination. It is quite sweet by itself (which is how I normally drink it) but tastes delicious with honey or as a tea latte.

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 :-)
