35 Tasting Notes

Masala Chai from Samovar
85

I love this spice blend, particularly the cardamom & pepper balance. Next time I think a little less sugar but whole milk instead of 2% is in order.

Shou Mei from Dream About Tea
58

Shou Mei is an above average white tea with a bit of a nutty flavor. But, a pleasant afternoon tea. I may try a hotter, shorter steep next time.

Organic 1000mesh Matcha from JK Tea Shop
69

Made a little warmer than usual with a half teaspoon of Amber Agave Nectar, it is a pleasant little afternoon “pick me up”. The dark Agavae had too much of a caramel taste but the Amber is perfect.

Silver Needle Reserve from Red Blossom Tea Company
77

This is a very nice tea. Not yet a favorite, but a pleasantly sweet subtle flavor that persists in the mouth but is not even slightly acrid. It makes a great pot to relax with at the end of the work day.

The Empress Cup - China Select from The Steeping Room
57
Ocean of Wisdom from Samovar
85
Orange Ginger from Samovar
97

My favorite caffeine-free herbal blend. Just spicy enough.

Tung Ting Charcoal Roasted from Red Blossom Tea Company
90

I love this tea made strong, so the second steep is longer. This is my ‘wake-up’ tea on those cool mornings. Very smooth roast.

Osthmanthus Silver Needle from Rishi Tea
61

Silver Needle is my perfect early morning tea. The Osmanthus flower is not too sweet. But, as descriptions go, I don’t get the process similarity to jasmine.

Moorish Mint from Samovar
88

I love this as a sort of dessert / after dinner tea. It’s even good chilled.

Blood Orange Pu-erh from Samovar
94

This is my favorite all-day tea. Hot in the morning, cold in the afternoon, warm again at night.
