25 Tasting Notes

South India Oothu from Ann Arbor TeaHaus

Feeling better about the flavor of this tea. I now detect the muscatel fragrance of Darjeeling on the nose. Seems to be very high in caffeine.

Very savory fragrance although less so on taste. Very lovely drink would probably be great with a meal although I drank it alone.

My new favorite white tea. This tea has the unmistakable flavor of sweet potatoes that I find in the best white teas. I will be drinking this for a long time to come.

Sencha Fukamushi Mt. Awantake from Tea Trekker

This is a beautiful fragrant Japanese green tea. Vegetable in the best sense of the word when speaking of tea. I love it.

Jade Dynasty from Capital Teas

Seems to be very high caffeine, felt the effects almost immediately. Nice flavor.

I thought this tea showed all the flavors one wants from a well-made white tea. I was sorry when the sample Tao sent me was steeped out. I will order this from them if it shows up online.

An incredibly fragrant tea, I feel like I’m sitting in front of camp fire or smelling the scent of wafting marijuana. Great mouth feel as well. I love this tea and my husband loves it even more.

I call this my bacon tea. My husband did not like it, I like it in moderation but it does taste like smoked bacon.

Very, very mild tea. Unlikely to buy again.

Did not like the mandarin orange flavor that added a surprisingly bitter note to the tea.
