57 Tasting Notes

Brioche Organic Tea from American Tea Room
94

I just made myself a pot of this tea to enjoy while catching up on my e-mails.
I have been out of town for several days (Sure feels good to be home!)
I missed all my friends here at Steepers.

Breakfast Blend from Samovar
63

I used the last of my sample of this tea this morning. I enjoyed this tea and will add it to the list of teas to purchase in the future.

Toasted Nut Brulee Oolong from Teavana
86

This tea looked like it was sitting in my cupboard waiting for me to enjoy tonight.
I found this tea very relaxing with just a slight taste of nut and spice tonight. As I continue my tea journey I like to come back to this tea (It is like a visit to an old friend).

White Rose from Zhi Tea

No flavorings at all with this one so the white tea base is very pronounced.
After a long day at work I enjoyed coming home to relax with this beautiful tea.
I Love the roses and the mild flavor.

Black Currant Bai Mu Dan from 52teas
76

I have been looking at this tea in my cupboard and thinking I should give it a try. This is a very enjoyable tea that was great as a breakfast tea, however, I think it would be just as good for afternoon tea break. Thnak you Lori for sending me this sample.
I probably only have one more cup of this one and I will be very sad when it is gone.

Ginseng Oolong from Teas Etc
59
It’s sweet and woodsy and comforting and refreshing… And for some reason I really like the sound the little pellets make as I toss them into my teapot. I find it relaxing watching the pellets trying to release into a leaf.

I am glad I took time to have a cup of this tea today.

Dark Goddess Oolong from The Tea Smith
59
Moderately astringent, high on body, yet light on mouth feel. The leaves are whole, large and very dark, but the brew is relatively light. If you are in the mood for a mild tea with lots of body this is your cup of tea.
Brioche Organic Tea from American Tea Room
94

Brioche’s astoundingly decadent aroma and flavor make it one tea that has dry leaves that perfectly capture the spicy-sweet aroma of a Parisian patisserie with intoxicating, beguiling, tempting aromas of nuts, spices and an unrivaled baked sweet note.
This made a nice breakfast cup of tea, however, I think this is a tea I could cuddle up with in the evening during my “Me Time” and tea.

Assam, Kopili Estate Green, Organic from TeaSource

I am not sure about this tea. I find it very hard to rate being a new person to the tea world. I liked the maltiness of the tea, however, I do not think I would drink this as a morning tea again (need to drink this later in the day when I am awake) lol
I need to play with amount of leaves steeped. I will rate this tea next time.

Frutto Bianco Pearls from Teavana
92
Pearl teas are always fun regardless, but the fruit choice helps compliment the naturally delicate white tea perfectly.

After hard day at work I rushed home to sit and relax with my new favorite tea. I plan to order some of this for my Mom’s birthday (Can not think of a better present) lol

Lapsang Souchong from Adagio Teas
59

I had a cup of this for breakfast. This was the strong smoke taste I was looking for. The tea was bold but not overpowering in any way.

Frutto Bianco Pearls from Teavana
92

This tea is beautiful. I Love the white tea that I find very soothing (just what I need tonight). This tea will be kept for Special times when I want to sit and relax with a wonderful tea.
The pearls were fun ofcourse.

Cocoa Chai Tea from Good Earth Teas
30

I did not enjoy the spice in this tea. This was a sample that was given to me. I would not buy this tea. I am happy I was able to sample this tea as I continue my Tea Journey to discovery of teas.

Keemun Rhapsody from Adagio Teas
59

I found this tea yesterday at the market and thought I would give it a try. This is a black tea with a mild flavor and rich copper color. I did steep for 5 minutes and added one packet of sugar.
I have a small sample of this tea that I feel I will restock in the future.
I agree this is a comfort tea.

Calm from Tazo
86

I have not slept well the past two evenings due to stress of everyday life.
I was working on organizing my tea when I decided to fix myself a cup of this tea.
This tea does seem to relax and calm as you sip and enjoy. This is a tea I like to keep in my cupboard.

Chocolate and Cream from TeaFrog
94

After dinner dishes were done and my kitchen was in order, I took some “Me Time” to sit and relax (bring on the Chocolate and Creme tea).
I continue to love this tea.

Ginseng Oolong from Teas Etc
59

This was second tasting of this tea. I still do not rate this tea as a favorite, however, I did feel like it was a light tea that was enjoyable with fresh fruit and a homemade muffin this morning.

Chocolate Cream Truffles from Portsmouth Tea Company
70

I enjoyed this tea and thought that it had a favor much like an Almond Joy (Coconut and Chocolate candy bar). I added just a slight touch of sugar.

Bombay Chai Tea from Revolution Tea
87

I enjoyed the spice of this tea. I purchased a sample box of tea to introduce me to some of the teas Revolution Tea offers.
I have placed this tea on my shopping list. I must make space for this tea in my tea cupboard.

Breakfast Blend from Samovar
63

This is a mannish tea with some real sweet soul.
The brewed tea is quite strong and certainly deserves consideration for anyone looking for a good shot of caffeine. It’s very malty.
I found this a great replacement for my morning coffee (a thing of the past now).

Chocolate Delight from Tea Guys
92

This tea was a true delight. I loved the strong Chocolate flavor that brought a Big Smile to my face as I steeped this first thing this morning.
If you are looking for a wonderful chocolate tea…..This is a Must Have!!!!!!!

Buttered Rum Tea from Culinary Teas

I loved this tea. I can not wait to go back to my local tea shop and purchase more.
This tea brought a real smile to my face and my stress melted away.
This is a very mild, mellow Tea.

Florence from Harney & Sons
92

This tea is wonderful anytime. I have been in a real chocolate mood today and thought I would give this tea a sample (Soooooo Glad I did!)
I am very busy and I do not have time to relog praise for one of the best chocolate teas I have had so far on my journey of discovery of teas.
Just like my friends here…..This tea truly rocks!

Chocolate and Cream from TeaFrog
94

I was feeling stressed this morning and needed a tea that would brighten my day (enter Chocolate and Creme). I have enough of this tea to last until my order arrives (however I am being careful not to delete my supply until my order arrives).
This is truly a favorite tea of mine.
Thanks TeaFrog for a wonderul tea.

Profile

Bio

At present time my tea cupboard is small and limited to trial size packages of most tea I have in stock. As I find tea that I enjoy I will add as budget allows.

I am thrilled I found this site and have enjoyed the reviews and comments.
I will trade or share anything I have in my cupboard. I appreciate the kindness of friends here that have helped me with samples and teas from their stash ( I hope I will be able to do the same for others sometime)
