8 Tasting Notes

Jade Oolong #18 from Adagio Teas
96

wow. don’t let the numbers fool you. this tea has total personality. I always brew it with yixing tea pots, and it is good for the long haul of multiple brews. the liquor has a medium body, syrupy to start out, lightening up as you brew many times. floral and fruit notes abound as this soft yet distinct tea invigorates your senses.

Moroccan Mint from Teavana

woke up with this tea this morning. Unlike some others I’ve tasted, you can actually taste the green tea.

Ginseng Peppermint from The Republic of Tea

i love putting this herbal tea in my yerba mate. really adds a sweetness to the mate, and doesn’t inhibit the qualities of mate. Plus, good for colds too.

Ancient Pu-Erh from World Market
76

having never tasted pu erh tea cakes or aged pu erh, I’m just guessing my way through my first bag of this. wash it first before your brew it. I also, strangely, think it tastes good with milk (2%), until its a terra cotta color. I brew the life out of it every time, and it holds up for a different taste every time. a good stand-by, but i’m looking for further adventure in pu erh.

Pouchong from Adagio Teas
85

great evening tea. tastes like melons after a few brews, with slight nutty and floral tones. definitely something for you yixing tea pot or gaiwan.

Earl Greyer from The Republic of Tea
67

a good try at earl grey. don’t over-brew, and I find I get tea drunk really quickly on this (that kind of ‘too full’ feeling). good for afternoons instead of coffee.

Lychee Blossom (Rare Tea Collection) from The Republic of Tea
99

wow. really amazing tea. multiple brews make sure you get equal parts fruit and green tea taste. I cut it up after it is finished to get even more out of it. I’ve even taken it out, put it in the fridge and brewed it two days later, and it still tasted great. well worth the cost.

Formosa Oolong #8 from Adagio Teas
69

the tea really opens up after the 3rd brewing. the first two seem kind of wooden, and then get spicy and nutty after that.

I just got three new yixing tea pots from Ying at her ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Chinese-Teapot-Gallery-Tea-Culture

I’ve also really enjoy every tea I get from http://puerhshop.com/ : the variety and gateway to new tea experiences is wide open, and I can’t wait to try more.
