I really like this tea. Its robust and brisk without being bitter or astringent. It comes in a huge pyramid tea bad which I cup open and steep. I think it taste better, I know its only in my head but oh well. I wish I knew what teas were used but what ever they used it works. Its organic and has an underlying sweetness to it.

This tea steeps up a nice light amber. The smell is like sugary raisin and the taste is very delicate with fruity notes. There is no bitterness or astringency that I can find. It has an underlying sweetness and is very enjoyable. The finish is clean with no aftertaste. I’m not very familiar with Darjeeling teas but I enjoyed this one.

Sigh, this tea is almost gone and such an excellent tea. Smooth with caramel notes and so easy to drink. I wonder how much the golden monkeys get paid to pick it.

I don’t usually backlog, but I’ve been watching basketball most of the day. This assam is starting to grow on me a little. I started using a little more leaf and it started tasting better. Much more brisk and robust. It even has that assam taste. Nice.

Decided on EB for breakfast this morning. This Teavana blend is nice, but not as strong as River Shannon which I prefer. I can taste the assam in this blend and it will wake you up.

This is a smooth, mellow, aromatic tea. The smell is like sugary raisin and sweet smelling. I don’t get any bitterness and only light astringency. Lots of tips in this tea.

This tea is sweet and earthy with chocolate and peppery notes. I enjoy it more each time I drink it.

I saw this tea at T.J.Maxx and couldn’t help myself. This is called a “Certified Organic Flavor-Aromatherapy Tea”. Its actually very good. You can taste oranges, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and allspice. Its like drinking an Orange Chai. It also has organic schizandra berries in it which I have no idea what they are or how they taste. The tea smells of orange and cinnamon. I used light agave to sweeten the tea. The orange tends to be a little sour if you don’t. Its different and at 2.99 was a bargain. I enjoyed the tea.

Back on the ice tea kick again. I made this for my wife and she loves it. She said, “buy more of this tea”. I blinked and looked at her and said, “your kidding right”. She said, “Nope, I’m serious, this makes fantastic ice tea”. I may make a tea drinker of her yet. I just used JacquelineM’s recipe and used splenda instead of sugar. Now I have to go and buy more tea.

This tea steeps to a bright amber color. It has an underlying sweetness and a fruity taste. This tea is very mellow and smooth with no astringency or bitterness.

After Angrboda’s post I just had to have some Lapsang Souchong. This tea is smoky, smooth, and delicious with sweet undertones.

The leaves of this tea are beautiful with plenty of tips. It has a slightly nutty smell and is very mild and smooth. It does have a very slight minty note. It steeps up a light amber color and actually reminds me of a roasted green tea in taste. The tea has sweet undertones as it cools.

This is an interesting tea, interesting in the flavor it has. I can’t place it at all. It steeps up a dark brown and does have a little astringency and just slight bitterness. Its gently robust and has a full mouthfeel. Its not my favorite tea from Upton and I more than likely will not order this again. I feel this tea is better for blending which is what I will do as I have a very light Lapsang Souchong which I can add this to.

I like this tea. Its smooth, earthy, sweet , and has peppery and chocolate notes. Its a nice tea to sit and linger over.

Having my EG this morning. I don’t know why this is my favorite EG, it just is. I have tried many others but I just keep going back to the one. Its not overpowering like some and the price is right on. For me, perfect.

This is a very mild Keemun tea. This is ok for breakfast but I prefer a stronger tea. I think I’m going to use this one for mixing.

Yeah, I made ice tea also using JacquelineM’s recipe. Its just as good as she said it was. I left out the tazo and used splenda. Been drinking this and watching basketball all day.
The only thing different is I can still buy more tea.
