152 Tasting Notes

Pineapple Kona Pop! from Teavana

Tried this sample in store with the blueberry bliss rooibos. The flavour reminds me of fruit juice. It might be better cold, with less sugar.

White Swiss Truffle Rooibos from Tropical Tea Company

It smells a little like chocolate. Perhaps like white chocolate (which isn’t really chocolate, since it contains no cocoa solids). Anyway, flavour is mostly rooibos, with a hint of vanilla and mint.

Jubilee from The London Tea Room

I really shouldn’t have black tea this late. Oh well. It has that nice bergamot smell that I like. It tastes like citrus black tea. Better with a little milk, and cinnamon.

Queen of Hearts from The London Tea Room

I’ve discovered recently that I rather like the smell of bergamot. The flavour seems like standard earl grey with currants. It’s a good tea, but needs more vanilla.

Red Velvet Cupcake from Simpson & Vail
81

It smells like cake or chocolate. Well, maybe a little like chocolate cake. The flavour is more chocolate (and berries) than red velvet.

Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
93

It aroma reminds me more of spices and Autumn than of pumpkin. The flavour is more like pumpkin pie. And the chai has nice blend of spices.

The Naughty Vicar from The London Tea Room

It smelled really good. The flavour was a nice vanilla mixed with berry. This makes a good brunch tea.

Salted Caramel from DAVIDsTEA
75

It smells like salt, coconut, and a little caramel. I don’t taste much caramel flavour, mostly salty coconut. Good, but I was hoping for more caramel.

Santa's Secret from DAVIDsTEA
90

My main reason for buying a sample- it smells like peppermint bark. The flavour is sweet, and minty without being overpowering. It kinda tastes like my favourite mint candy canes. Would go well with chocolate.

Carrot Cake Cupcake Green Rooibos from Simpson & Vail
76

It really does smell like carrot cake. The flavour is a bit more mild, but I can taste some carrot cake.

Lemon Chiffon from Della Terra Teas
89

It smells fantastic. The flavour is lemony, and creamy. The first thing that came to mind was lemon cupcakes.

Cappuccino Caramel Crunch from Della Terra Teas
78

At first, it does smell like cappuccino. The flavour is more like caramel than anything coffee. While I do like caramel rooibos, I was hoping that it was a little more like coffee.

Godiva Rooibos from New Mexico Tea Company
82

The aroma reminds of rich hot cocoa. The flavour is sweet, and like milk chocolate. Very good with a little vanilla, and cinnamon.

The Gingerbread Man from Della Terra Teas
80

It smells like ginger, but not the cookie. The flavour isn’t really gingery. It mostly tastes like cinnamon and pineapples. Not what I was excepting, but still good.

TARDIS (Blend) from Custom-Adagio Teas
82

I do so love the aroma of earl grey. The flavour is earl grey, with a little bit of berry, and vanilla. I would have liked a little more berry taste, but it’s otherwise fantastic.

Blueberry Creme from Della Terra Teas
84

Smells great, like blueberry pastry. The flavour is more mild blueberry, and rooibos. Good, but I don’t really taste the black tea.

Rooibos Caramel from Adagio Teas
78

The aroma is very nice. It has a sweet, mild flavour. Goes very well with the almond and hazelnut red bush teas.

Mad Campfire from Mad Hat Tea Company
82

It has a nice citrus scent. The flavour reminds me of a mild orange spice tea. Not enough almond, but pretty good.

Provence Rooibos from New Mexico Tea Company
72

The flavour is too floral, and not enough fruit. It’s nice if you want rose rooibos, but I was hoping for something more like berries.

Vanilla Apple Hibiscus from The Republic of Tea

Tastes too much like hibiscus and sweetener. I like their apple teas, but this doesn’t have enough apple flavour. Might be better iced.

Caramel Apple Honeybush from 52teas
84

It has a fantastic scent. The flavour is a delicious balance of caramel and apple. Now I long for Autumn.

Winter Nog from Della Terra Teas
91

The aroma reminds of sugar cookies with cinnamon. The flavour is somewhere between eggnog and sugar cookies. It is sweet, lightly spiced, and delicious.

Pumpkin Spice from The Republic of Tea
81

It has a nice Autumn scent, and flavour. Since I prefer more spice, I like to add a bag of chai/
