188 Tasting Notes

Dragonwell from The Boston Tea Company
100

In China, dragons are symbols of beauty and wisdom. I steeped a pot of this tea for my humans and they seemed wiser and more beautiful (honest!). Dragonwell is a well in China. The area around it is known for growing exceptional tea, like this: http://is.gd/dYsrr

Special Gunpowder Green Tea from Temple Of Heaven
80

Very suitable as an everyday green tea. Not one you have to stash away for a special occasion. Go ahead and indulge. My humans do. http://is.gd/dR4gz

English Breakfast Blend No. 1 from English Tea Store
90
Tung Ting Oolong from Hsin Tung Yang Co., Ltd.
80

My humans and I tried this tea both hot and chilled. It was quite an experience: http://is.gd/dC8hB

Buddha Hand Oolong from California Tea House
90

Huge leaf pieces. I thought I would be far too little a teapot to steep this tea for my humans, but I managed. For an organic tea, tasted pretty good. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-california-tea-houses-buddha.html

Sumatra Oolong Barisan (860) from TeaGschwendner
90
Vanilla Almond Oolong from The Boston Tea Company
90

Longing for Oolong? Long no more with this one from The Boston Tea Co. http://is.gd/dy22f

White Monkey Paw from California Tea House
100
White Monkey Paw from California Tea House
100

No monkeying around here, just great tea taste. See fab photos and more tasting notes by my humans: http://is.gd/dukrF

Bossa Nova (No. 993) from TeaGschwendner
90

This tea sure got my humans’ toes a-tappin’ — and I was dancing around the kitchen counter, too! http://is.gd/dt1Gv

Silver Needle from California Tea House
100
Act Normal from Shui Tea
100

Who can act normal with a tea like this? Certainly not my humans (as if they ever act normal, at least in this little teapot’s estimation). We all got to try this black tea from Jimmy at Shui Tea (the guy that on Twitter drinks straight from his teapot – yeah, that guy!). http://is.gd/dp3I1

White Pomegranate from Zhi Tea
80

We got a sample a few months back as part of chilled tea extravaganza. My humans tried it hot and chilled. http://is.gd/dlqT6

Oriental Treasure White from Bentley's
60

Bagged but the pieces are big enough to cut the bag open and steep the tea loose, which is what my humans did. Didn’t help the taste, though. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-boston-tea-companys-bentley.html

South India White Oothu (Organic) from TeaGschwendner
90

Organic but still good. No downy leaves here, but, yes, it’s a white tea. My humans tried it hot and chilled. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-teagschwendners-south-india.html

Imperial Mountain Green Tea from Shui Tea
100

A fairly new tea vendor, but some awesome teas. So honored to be among those who have been able to try them. This little teapot says “Thanks!” http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-shui-teas-imperial-mountain.html

Nile Delta Chamomile from English Tea Store
100

Chamomile is one of the few herbals my humans tolerate. This picky teapot agrees, especially when it’s this one. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-english-tea-stores-nile-delta.html

Gold Blend Tea Bags from Barry's Tea
80

Quickly becoming the bagged tea of choice for my humans. Yes, bagged tea. They still strongly prefer loose leaf tea, so don’t get too disheartened. This is just a GOOD bagged tea. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/06/review-english-tea-stores-barrys-gold.html

Orange Dulce from Mighty Leaf Tea
35

In a nylon sachet and larger pieces than other orange flavored teas. Still, why confine those wonderful bits in a sachet? http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2010/06/review-mighty-leafs-orange-dulce-black.html

Orange Blossom White Tea from The Republic of Tea
25
Blackcurrant Black Tea from English Tea Store
80

Another tea my humans tried as part of their Floral / Fruity Extravaganza. For a fruity tea, not bad. http://is.gd/d267B

Lavender Butterfly from English Tea Store
100

My humans did a whole Floral / Fruity Extravaganza and included this one. Good idea! http://is.gd/cZ5vr

Earl Grey Lavender from Revolution Tea
80

Well, my humans didn’t go totally ga-ga for it, but they didn’t hate it either. http://is.gd/cXHYP

Pu-erh from Shui Tea
100

My humans were quite excited to try this pu-erh. Quite an experience for these long-time tea drinkers. http://is.gd/cUhhW
