190 Tasting Notes

Organic Blink Bonnie from LeafSpa Organic Tea
89

do you know what is sad? When you get to the bottom of a tea tin and you realize this is your last cup of this tea. :( I had a enough left to make some iced tea, so I have about 32 oz. of blink bonnie iced tea to savor over the next few hours, until it is all gone. This tea tastes fantastic iced and a bit stronger than when brewed hot, which makes the tea taste wonderful. Brewed stronger, I can taste subtle nuances that I might not normally taste when hot.

Green Citrus from BourgeaTEA
91

MMMMM! That is all I can say for this tea right now. It tastes phenomenal. The aroma reminds me a bit of caramel sweetness,lemonade, and potpourri. I also smell an inkling of genmaicha, which smells a bit roasted and green. The taste is delicious. The flavor is green, and vegetal, but balances out the astringency from the tea and from the citrus very nicely. The tea glides smoothly in my mouth and leaves my mouth watering, craving more. I would definitely buy this one again, hands down.

Oriental Beauty from Teas Etc
76

How have I never logged this tea when i’ve had it for about 2 months now??? Anyway, I love this tea. It’s a darker oolong, but has some notes of rock fruits like peach and plum, but has a sweetness on the end of the flavor. This tea also dries my mouth out a little bit, it’s strange really. Most of my mouth feels moisturized (?) by the tea except for the center of my tongue, where it feels dry. Very interesting experience.

Wu Ling (武陵) Oolong Tea from Tea from Taiwan
Cha Cha’s Breakfast Organic+Fair Trade from Cha Cha Tea
82

This is a wonderful black tea for breakfast, as the name suggests. Usually, I only drink black tea at night or if I really need a good kick in the morning. I sipped on this tea on a Saturday morning with a hot breakfast, which is paired nicely with. The smell of the tea was intoxicating. It smelled a bit like cocao and scones, so it was sweet and robust all in one. The flavor was so much lighter than the smell of the liquor.The taste is light and gentle. I experienced little to no bitterness or tannins in my cuppa, which is good for someone who may forget about their tea by accident(hey, it happens to us all!). The taste is so smooth, that it naturally tastes as if there was creamer or milk already put into the tea.

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

bought this with the steepster deal a few days ago. I’ve only had a sample of this back when Tony opened Chicago Tea Garden, but it left quite the impression on me, as i’m always thinking back to this tea when trying out other Tie Guan Yins. The taste is very smooth,floral, fruity and just plain fantastic.

Zhong Shu Hu Oolong Tea from Tea from Taiwan
91

fruity flavor, which reminds me of apples. There is a slight sweet finish,which ends rather quickly and makes me want another sip. Wonderful tea. I am very pleased with the group of oolong samples I bought from Tea from Taiwan!!

my first ever milk oolong! Really great tea. i found the milky notes so interesting and they meshed very well with the light oxidation of the tea. Awesome find! Now i see what all the fuss was about :)

Green Spiral from Utopian Tea

i’ve been drinking so much oolong lately that i have ignored other types. This is a great tea, I can taste the smoky level of flavor, and is earthy and enjoyable.

Jasmine Pearls from Canton Tea Co
90
The smell and taste of the Jasmine was authentic, and not artificial. The aroma of the tea was of Jasmine flowers, sweet and soft, calming me down and reminding me of a sleepy time tea. The color of the liquor was very light, as expected from the white tea leaves. The white tea is tasty, I could taste the creaminess and sweetness from the Silver Needle tea. I steeped this tea 4 times, and by the 4th steep, the Jasmine had slowly gone away, but the Silver Needle was still as tasty as the first steep. In addition to the Silver Needle flavors, the taste has sweet finish, leaving the Jasmine flower smell in the aroma and the sweetness from the Jasmine in the cup. I really enjoy this tea, and imagine that it would be amazing iced!
