34 Tasting Notes

Caramel from Adagio Teas

I drank this yesterday morning and wondered why I never finished my sample of such a pleasant tea. Thanks to my current cup I’ve remembered. The caramel scent/flavoring just isn’t sitting well with me right now. I enjoyed it yesterday but I’m seriously about to pour out almost an entire mug. I hate being wasteful :(

Vanilla Chai from Bigelow
32

Not spicy enough for the amount of sweetness it has.

Lipton Black Tea from Lipton
12

I hate this stuff. When I went to Japan I was surprised at how much less nasty the Lipton products were. Why, Lipton America?! It’s better than those horrible store-brand tea bags, but still not worth the effort. I’d honestly rather just drink water.

Chai Spice from Stash Tea Company
75

Nice and spicy. This is probably my favorite bagged tea.

Cocomint Green from Adagio Teas
25

There’s just something weird going on with this. I tried to like it, but it just wasn’t happening. I can’t even articulate why I dislike it.

Vienna Winter Green from SpecialTeas
70

Mild, sweet, and nutty. Definitely not an everyday blend, but it’s It’s interesting without being offensive. Easy to serve to non-tea people.

Japanese Cherry from SpecialTeas
50

I can never figure out how I feel about this tea. It’s pretty good if I’m in the mood for it, but there’s something unsettling that I can’t quite place. Maybe it’s just that it’s really, really sweet.

Thai Tea Blend from Teavana
Earl Grey de la Creme from SpecialTeas
75

All of the flavors are well balanced and don’t get lost in each other. I really love how it distinguishes itself from other earl greys with the creamy vanilla. Definitely nice for a change of pace (though I did drink it constantly for about a year). Very nice black or with a bit of soy milk.

Rooibos Lemon Chiffon from SpecialTeas
83

I usually prefer true teas to tisanes, so it’s surprising how fabulous I think this is. It reminds me of a lemon tart or its namesake. Rooibos provides a nice, sweet backing for the creamy lemon flavor. Amazing hot or iced.

Edit-Why didn’t someone tell me I spell like an idiot? >_<

Profile

Bio

I’m pretty terrible at bios so I don’t think I’ll even try to make it interesting. I’m a college senior majoring in Japanese and minoring in women’s and gender studies. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 8 years or so. I craft and game whenever possible and have been known to give up large amounts of sleep for either.
