9 Tasting Notes

Orange Starfruit from Stash Tea Company
39

Not bad just disappointing. Chamomile has third billing but it is the dominant flavor in this herbal blend. There is a hint of orange in the finish and I don’t taste any starfruit. Nice enough for a late night cuppa, but nothing to write home about.

Raspberry Zinger from Celestial Seasonings
69

This herbal has be best raspberry flavor I have tried! I like it plain. I just tried it with a teaspoon honey for my throat (I’ve been really sick) and the tangy/sweet contrast was mouthwateringly good.

Can’t wait to try it iced mixed with black tea.

Toasted Rice Green Tea - Japanese Genmaicha from The Republic of Tea
72

Love the savory flavor (Umami-ness?) from the toasted rice. First steep was a little weak at 2 minutes but very enjoyable. I steeped the bags a second time for 3 minutes. Both 16 ounce mugs were drained in record time.

12/04/12 Steeped 2.5 minutes. Perfect for me, so yummy and satisfying. Nom, nom, nom.

Honeybush from Numi Organic Tea
25
Red Velvet Chocolate from The Republic of Tea
50

I have tried this several times with various brew times and cannot get past the rooibos flavor. Meh.

Apricot green decaf from Red Stick Spice
60

This made a refreshing cup. The on the initial sip I tasted a chemical wang but as the tea cooled a little the soft apricot flavor came through. The green tea was mild with little astringency. Good for nights when I want a lot of tea but also would like to sleep later.

Wuyi Oolong (organic) from Red Stick Spice
61
Green Tea from Bigelow

Very meh hot but it works really well for sun tea. I use 3 bags plus one of whatever lemon or jasmine green tea that is on hand. 4 hours is plenty in the hot Louisiana summer sun.

Constant Comment from Bigelow
73

Another vote for the nostalgia rating. I still like it and it is my go to tea when I have a cold because of the comfort factor and I can still taste it. I prefer the loose but due to the spices I don’t taste the paper when prepare with the bags

Profile

Bio

I am a SAHM with three teenage sons. Long time tea lover.

While I was born in the South I don’t drink the super sweet the area is known for. Sometimes I will add a teaspoon of sugar to a quart of tea.

I drink black, oolong and green teas, oolong being my favorite. I have yet to find a rooibos I can stomach and have not tried honey bush yet.
