Birthday Tea from Adagio Teas

this tea has sprinkles in it….what’s not to love? The tea makes a great warm, comforting cup that is not too overpowering. It reminds me of a vanilla cupcake in a tea cup, minus the calories!

Wuyi Ensemble from Adagio Teas
81

smooth taste-calming aroma- an overall good tea

Ancient Shu Pu-erh Tuo Cha from Rishi Tea
80

i am just starting to get into pu-erh and I figured this would be a good segway into it. At first, which steeping this tea smelled like kitty litter that was infused with caramel pieces. But, after it was done steeping, it just smelled earthy,keeping the caramel. My first infusion I made a little too weak- I think i added too much water in my teapot by accident. Oh well, live and learn, right? The liquor is a really dark amber color, almost coffee like. The tast was a bit bitter and earthy but the sweet overtones of dark chocolate and caramel worked nicely together on my palette. Overall, I like this tea, it isn’t super earthy, which is what I was expecting, I am pleasantly surprised with it.

Nepal from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
82

When I first recieved this tea, I tried it out and being a bit new to “real black teas” (versus flavored teas), I was not a fan of it at all. However, this past weekend, I retried it after some time and maybe my palette has changed, but I absolutely loved every sip of this. It was strong, a bit smokey,yet sweet at the same time. Funny thing is, my brother, who I just got to start drinking tea about 1-2 months ago hated this tea and said it tasted like he “just ate dirt”. I wonder if in a few months to a year if he will enjoy this tea as I did months later. :)

Dragonwell from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
92

this tea is absolutely delicious. it has been my favorite out of all 5 of the tea’s Andrews & Dunham has released. However, I no longer have any of this tea left and I missed the re-release in December of their series one! I really wish I knew where it came from so I could hop on a plane and buy it! :)

Dragonwell from Teavana
72

just drank this morning…it was a " i need tea right now" type of morning.

Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
93

drank this tea this morning as a wake up call. really needed a standard, good tasting tea with caffeine (lots of caffeine :) )

Ceylon Sonata from Adagio Teas
85

This ceylon is a bit on the lighter side of sode of the ceylon’s I’ve had but is a winner nevertheless. I love that it is simplistic,refreshing and caffeinated…exactly what i’m looking for on a rainy morning like today to get motivated.

Black Dragon Pearls from Adagio Teas
87

wow, these never fail for a good cuppa. The initial scent of the pearls smell of cocoa and cinnamon, but after brewing, they smell a bit more earthy. The taste is earthy yet sweet and very satisfying. this is a definite staple in my collection.

Matcha (Powdered) from Rishi Tea
75
Wuyi Oolong from Wegmans
68

i thought this tea was alright, the second steep didn’t hold too much flavor but the first steep was pleasantly sweet, fruity and buttery on the tongue. Overall, a pretty smooth tea for the price.

Birthday Tea from Adagio Teas

Organic Green with Citrus and Ginkgo from Harney & Sons

Matcha from Teavana

love to drink this traditionally prepared in a matcha bowl, but my favorite way is to make matcha lemonade with it!! yum :)

Jade Cloud (aka Green Jade) from Rishi Tea

Golden Monkey from Adagio Teas

very surprised with this tea; it was excellent. Very flavorful with a lost lasting after taste and a medium body; very enjoyable!

Prince of Wales (loose leaf) from Twinings
75

very mild flavor, a little bland, but for a bagged tea, it is alright.
