I won these in the Art Contest that AmazonV held – thanks AmazonV!

Having tried (and loved) something similar from Teavana, I was very curious about these pearls. Alas, since I don’t have the pearls from Teavana anymore … I can’t do a side by side.

Anyway… this is nice. There is a slight smokiness to it but I don’t find it off-putting, perhaps because it’s paired so nicely with the chewy, bake-y flavor of it. And the malty note is quite pleasing.

I like!

drank Banana Matcha by 52teas

Guess what arrived today!

YUM! This is really very good. The banana flavor is well represented. The only thing that would make this particular matcha better in my opinion is the addition of chocolate. :)

Excellent!

Let the jealousy over who got their package first ensue!

Yes, let it be known that I am Frank’s favorite. :)

I think I will like this w/ pineapple juice instead of water… maybe as a slushie using frozen pineapple instead of ice… I’m honestly not expecting to like it hot though. But that’s ok- I need more ways I truly enjoy cold matcha and will take any variation even at the expense of liking it hot.

Southern Boy Teas

Way to think positively, Cofftea!

@ Cofftea: You know I could see these being good in baking too. Banana bread with Banana matcha anyone?

Cofftea

Jillian- not for me personally, but I think that’s a WONDERFUL idea! How about Banana chocolate chip cupcakes? With a matcha glaze?

Decided to try another from Zoomdweebies…

This one has the lime flavor nailed down. At first, I wasn’t sure exactly what it was that I was tasting, and then all of the sudden, the citrus-y-lime flavor came through and I’m like… ohhh… it’s LIME!

It’s really good.

Starting my day with another random selection from my collection of Zoomdweebies tea.

This is pretty good. I can taste both the chocolate and the strawberry although I must admit that I wish the flavors were stronger here… but then, if a little chocolate is good, a lot of chocolate is better.

It’s nice though. Pleasantly sweet. A nice tea to wake up to.

The aroma of the dry leaf is very lovely and somewhat difficult for me to find the words to describe it. I can smell hints of flower and fruit, as well as a caramel-y note and a very subtle earthy character.

The more I drink this tea the more I love it.

I just got finished writing up my review for this tea – it will be published on the SororiTEA Sisters blog on the 19th of August!

drank Earls and Pearls by Tea Oh

This is a very unusual Earl Grey. The finish is very different… it does have a creamy-ish finish, slightly sweet with just a hint of citrus.

This … kind of tastes like an Earl Grey creamsicle – made with bergamot oranges.

It’s nice. I’m enjoying this unusual twist on Earl Grey! It is also quite nice as it cools… this would be very nice and refreshing as an iced tea.

I love Genmaicha so when I received this sample I was very happy to try it.

This is a slightly different tasting Genmaicha than some others that I’ve tried. The tea tastes different – but not in a bad way, in a very, very good way! I can definitely tell that I’m tasting a sencha rather than a bancha – I can taste the fresh, bittersweet flavor of the sencha. This tastes a little less “roasty-toasty” (bancha has a natural sort of toasted flavor to it, in my opinion) than a typical Genmaicha, and a little more … complex.

The delicate bitter notes add a unique interest to this tea – it isn’t a strong or distasteful bitterness. I would describe it more as a semi-sweet taste rather than a BITTER taste… if that makes sense.

I really like this Genmaicha… a LOT!

I felt like I needed the energy boost that I get from Yerba Mate today – so I reached for some Chai from Mate Factor.

I really like this Chai – the Mate makes for a deliciously different chai. I went latte today, and it’s rich, smooth, creamy, spiced just right – DELICIOUS!

Sublime! Amazing!

I love this tea! It has the most beautiful honey-like tone to it. So sweet and delicious.

I just got done writing a full review of it and it will publish soon on the SororiTEA Sisters blog: http://sororiteasisters.com

I have a very special place in my heart when it comes to Formosa Oolongs – and this one is quite possibly the best Formosa Oolong I’ve tried.

I just finished a cup of this tea – It is really a lovely Earl Grey. I love the combination of Darjeeling and Earl Grey.

A nice bergamot flavor – delightful!

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:

http://52teas.com

I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!
