9 Tasting Notes

Get Smart - No.16 (Wellness Collection) from The Republic of Tea
69

This was ok, not great, but drinkable. I did enjoy the fruity flavor and the bit of menthol like effect. I actually noticed being more focused on writing my paper (which happens to be on the magnificent and interesting wonder insert scar ism here of drilling for natural gas from Marcellus shale, 10 double spaced size 12 font pages) than i usually am. And that is coming from a major procrastinator. I am not sure if it is a placebo or if it really does what it is supped to do (the ingredients make scene for that) . Overall not bad.

Peppermint from Celestial Seasonings

I just had to add how much i love peppermint sticks and candy canes (big Christmas fan ). The stick i put in my tea has dissolved and oh my gawd, it is Christmas in a cup. AMAZING

I think it was the Christmas spirit (sorry if i am being politically incorrect :P ) that got me to buy this tea. It has a lovely mint flavor, and tastes more like a candy cane, or peppermint stick than a tea. I know it is a bit unorthodox (you can yell at me later) but i’m actually stirring this with a peppermint stick not, with just a touch of sugar, and it is great! Overall, a great tea to get you in the “Holiday” ( :P ) spirit.

Monk's Blend from MlesnA
93

Not only does this tea taste great, but it is great for its original purpose, staying up for long periods of religious meditation. I often stay up for hours just sitting and thinking, and this tea makes you feel awake, but not jittery or how caffeine makes you feel. Regardless, this tea is a great blend of sweet and savory (i especially like the hints of vanilla). I highly recommend this to all fans of traditional teas.

Constant Comment from Bigelow
48

This tea is ok, a very generic orange tea (but with a lot of orange flavor). My box has bags made for 3 cups, so making tea for myself is not easy. overall, ok, not too bad, but not great.

I love this tea, i found it in a grocery store recently at first think nothing of it, but then remembering how much i drank it when i was younger. i am not sure if i like ti beacuse of the taste, or the nostalgia.

Perfect Peach from Bigelow
90

I loved this tea, as said before, sugar is needed to bring out the peach flavor (as said on the package). The first time I tried this tea, i accidentally added too much sugar result in a peach ring sugar gummy candy flavor (which is my favorite candy). It was good once, but i wouldn’t do the same twice. With less sugar it is perfectly balanced and is a great tea, (for being in a bag :P )

Profile

Bio

I am new to the tea world, i used to be a coffee person (still drink it once in a while), but I have quickly fallen in love with various kinds of teas. Good tea is hard to find where i love, so if i am lucky a good Republic of tea, tea will be in stock in the local coffee and gift shop. but other than that i am confined to the internet ( and i cant stand shipping ).

Happy Steeping,
