5 Tasting Notes

Monkey Picked Ti Kuan Yin from Bamboo Tea House
67

Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. Spun Clover Honey = This tea is so earthy, the sweetness almost doesn’t work well.
Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. 2% Milk = So wonderful, mild, it is so rich when hot.
Tsp. Spun Clover Honey + Tsp. 2% Milk = A nice light beverage to sleep on.

Overall; Well, not my favorite, but I still enjoyed it.

Herbal Rooibos Earl Grey from Bamboo Tea House
77

Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. Spun Clover Honey = The most perfect Earthy sweet there is!
Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. 2% Milk = It isn’t holding onto the creaminess like Earl Grey. It’s a bit thinned out.
Tsp. Spun Clover Honey + Tsp. 2% Milk = Very light, barely held onto the Earl Grey flavor, just making a light Rooibos taste.

Overall; I love it! Rooibos and Earl Grey are a perfect match. It is sweet and fragrant, but Earthy and savory also. It really is a wonderful combination.

Mad Tea Party Blend from Disney Wonderland Tea
64

Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. Spun Clover Honey = A strong sweet, you can really taste the apricot.
Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. 2% Milk = It improves as it’s diluted. Still hyper sweet.
Tsp. Spun Clover Honey + Tsp. 2% Milk = A really gentle sweetness, great to go to sleep on

Overall: I haven’t really been a fan of this tea since I got it. I don’t like apricot or peach so the taste is a bit overwhelming, but when subdued with cream and honey, it is a wonderful evening tea.

Vanilla Verde (Green Vanilla) from Tea Shop of East West Company
76

Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. Spun Clover Honey = Too sweet. It is an overly saturated vanilla flavor.
Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. 2% Milk = The creme accents the green tea very well.
Tsp. Spun Clover Honey + Tsp. 2% Milk = Just right; the spun honey has the same thickness as the milk making this a not too sweet, creamy and light.

Overall; It’s always nice, but when sweetened properly is really warm and light, but on the first cup the vanilla flavor was a bit too strong and saturated. It is a really good evening tea.

Lady Grey from Bamboo Tea House
91

Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. Spun Clover Honey = Sweet, but too thin.
Tsp. Raw Sugar + Tsp. 2% Milk = Creamier, and still sweet. It’s so fragrant!
Tsp. Spun Clover Honey + Tsp. 2% Milk = Creamy and light. By now, the tea is weaker, but still delicately fragrant.

Overall; Of course, I love it. It tastes best with a creamy texture or thickness. It has a deep flavor, similar to a hardcore black tea but more sweet then regular black tea alone. As an Earl Grey should be, it is wonderfully fragrant of Fruit Loops!
