190 Tasting Notes

Four Seasons Oolong from Shui Tea
86

First and foremost, the rolled oolong is beautifully rolled, bright green leaves. They smell slightly floral and have a very heavy fresh scent as well. The color of the liquor is a golden yellow-green color. The best part of the tea is the flavor. This tea is pretty light, but its subtle flavors are fantastic. The first thing that hits me is the fresh, buttery mouth feel, which just paints the tea all over your palate.

Captain Assam from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
82

This is a lighter Assam tea, but does pack that caffeine! I took this with me to my Ancient Philosophy class this morning, and the Captain made my morning. The tea is very much in the vein of a breakfast tea, shown in its lighter flavor profile. It is lightly malty, and creamy. I added some milk this morning to cool the tea off before sipping, and that just made it creamier!

The Mermaid's Kiss from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
85

I really like this tea! it is a beautiful medium/dark green color in the dried leaves. The dry tea also smells very lightly floral, and is not overpowering. I admire this about the tea, because personally, I do not usually enjoy Jasmine Teas, for they can either be too Floral, or taste fake and flavored. This tea is neither of those things. It smells lightly floral and sweet.

Mocha Nut Mate from Adagio Teas

this is delicious. this tea is my first time ever having mate, but after sipping it on my commute to school, it certainly won’t be the last. I am convinced to buy more after this sample runs out!

Tipu's Microground Instant Chai. from Tipu's Chai
79

This chai alone is pretty spicy, but tastes as if you brewed it on the stove for an hour,which is a plus since it is instant! What I do to combat the spiciness, is add equal parts hot cocoa and chai mix to steamed milk. The cocoa/chai mix is a really tasty treat, and the cocoa combats the spiciness of the chai a bit.

Tie Guan Yin Competition Grade "Monkey Picked" Oolong from Chicago Tea Garden
100
Zealong Dark from Chicago Tea Garden
92

this tea smells like roasted peanut butter, very nutty. it has a very clean taste, with some really interesting charcoal notes. The charcoal flavor tastes as if I took some tea in aluminum, and let it sit in my charcoal grill over night, or over a few nights and absorbed the charcoal taste. Very interesting flavor accent. This tea is very refreshing, and just makes me want more. out of the 3 zealongs, I can’t decide which I like best, I feel like they are all good for different moods and times of the day. :) Thanks for sourcing this, Tony!

Iron Goddess of Mercy (Ti Kuan Yin) from Utopian Tea
97

such a great tea- this has been my go to morning tea since i first ordered from Utopian back in April/May

Dan Cong from thepuriTea
82

sipping this on a relaxing friday night- very good tea. Tasty, fruity, rich and delicious.

Organic Eagle Nest Ever Drop from LeafSpa Organic Tea
93

this has easily become a favorite green tea of mine, it is especially tasty on rainy mornings like today :)

Kitchen Sink Green Tea from 52teas
85

Woot! Got this tea in the mail today and immediately opened it,steeped and iced it! Wowowow! I am not usually a fan of flavored teas, but what a great tea. You know when you have a fruit salad that has been sitting together for a while and all the flavors mesh together into one super fruit flavor? That is what this tastes like! But, I can also taste the green tea base, which is awesome!

Thanks so much to the Sororitea Sisters for hosting the giveaway! You guys, as well as 52 teas rock!

Jade Oolong from Mighty Leaf Tea
78

tasty, reminds me of a green tea, smells almost cinnamon-y to me, tastes a bit bitter, but that might be my mistake.

Meng Ding Huang Ya from Canton Tea Co
93

crisp,clean tasting. Very refreshing. The smell reminds me of vegetables a bit- again, like cucumber ( 2 days with cucumber in my tea reviews- i must be craving them!). The flavor is slightly nutty with some lemon juice on the back end of my palette.

Great tea to sip this morning.I love that in my glass cup, I can see the tiny fine hairs from the tea, which reminds me of this tea being almost like a white tea, so it must be very lightly processed.

Tai Xing Jin Xuan from Tea from Taiwan
90

yum. the leaves were very fresh and green out of the vacuum sealed package. this tea is creamy, clean and fresh. After sipping, it reminds me of biting into a fresh cucumber.

Organic Eagle Nest Ever Drop from LeafSpa Organic Tea
93

been sipping on this cold brewed style for the past few days, now just finishing off the last of it. :( Such a great tea to drink though!

I’ve featured this tea in a recent video blog..check it out :) http://bit.ly/ckEqqQ

Organic Eagle Nest Ever Drop from LeafSpa Organic Tea
93

Very Pleasurable to sip on! The leafspa eagle nest ever drop tea is a very full bodied green tea. The tea has vegetal notes as well as creamy,thick notes that remind me of a black tea. The green tea really coats my mouth and is creamy before I swallow. After swallowing, there is a hint of dryness on my mouth, reminiscent of cotton, but for me,this doesn’t take away from the tea at all.

I’ve included this tea in a recent video blog..check it out :) http://bit.ly/ckEqqQ
Green Spiral from Utopian Tea
94

had to up the score on this tea. i really like it more and more as I drink it more times. It is so interesting, and today I really really picked up on that smoky layer of the tea in the scent. It smells like smoke, which is very intense smell. That smoky layer of the smell is in the flavor a little, but not as intensely as in the aroma. This isn’t a grassy green tea, so I would say it would be good for newbies getting into better tea types, as well as tea lovers who just crave a good cuppa. :)

Organic Se Chung Oolong from LeafSpa Organic Tea

Organic Se Chung Oolong from LeafSpa Organic Tea

this was the first tea I could get my hands on this morning, so I drank it again. Very tasty and just what I needed. I like darker oolongs, but I also like the greener ones. I love that oolongs have such variety within the category.

Kapha Balance from Shanti Tea

this tea is everything the description says.

It is nice and spicy, and just delicious. This may sounds silly, but even though it is a Rooibos tea, I do feel more alert and energized after sipping on it.
