drank Zen Full Leaf Tea by Tazo
139 tasting notes

This is one of those teas that I am always very excited about when I plan to have it sometime during the day. Imagine my excitement when I find a tin of this in the cupboard at my new work office the other day! I have been drinking Zen for a few years now, ever since I discovered it at Starbucks, where I also used to work (and developed a special love for Tazo teas). Every time I open the tin, the bright and fresh aroma of the tea just washes all over me, wakes up my senses and lifts my spirits!

The steeping time for this particular tea is quite short, only about 2-3 mins – otherwise is takes on a strong and slightly off-putting bitter taste. When steeped just right, the flavours are simply amazing – the most delicate balance of minty green tea with a kick of citrus and lemon! Honestly, how can you go wrong with this one? It’s my absolute favourite, and it will be part of my collection forever. :)

Bio

I joined Steepster Nov. 2/’15. I am an aspiring law student, currently studying for the LSAT. Meanwhile, I drink a lot of tea, work as a legal assistant and watch Netflix in my down time.

Ever since joining Steepster, I have tried a whole bunch new tea, met awesome people, and learned quite a lot! I am still expanding my tea horizons, currently working on exploring the oolong and puerh territories. Oolong has been a pleasant journey so far, while puerh is more rocky and uncertain. I shall keep trekking on!

My favourite teas are blacks and greens, both flavoured and unflavoured, and I have a few staples that I drink all the time.

I love to try teas that I would otherwise not have access to, and therefore I am always looking for people to trade samples with. Send me a message if you are interested!

My Wishlist is teas that I would like to restock (as a note to myself). My ratings are mostly arbitrary. Generally, anything above 90 I will likely restock. 70-80 I enjoyed, but will not go out of my way to get again. Anything below 70 was not that great, and the lower the mark the less I enjoyed it.
