16 Tasting Notes

I Love Lemon from Bigelow
1

The worst. It tastes like Theraflu with copper and hotdog chunks.

Hibiscus Apple from Argo Tea
78
Ginger Peach from Argo Tea
62

Mild and soothing. The flavors blend well. The peach and ginger flavors are equally represented in this tea. Black teas are usually dull to me. Not bad, but not high on my wish list. I imagine this tea would be nice for an upset stomach.

Carolina Honey from Argo Tea
73

What a strong aroma! As soon as I opened my 2oz bag I knew I was in for treat. Powerful scents of honey with faint lemon creeped out of the bag. The tea brewed strong, so you only need a little bit of the loose leaf in your infuser. The taste is a very soothing honey flavor backed by the kick of the herbal green tea. As with most black teas I’ve tried, the flavor does not linger at first. After a few minutes of sipping on this tea I get a better sense of the honey flavor.

Mango Mambo from Argo Tea
62

This time I put a little more tea in the infuse and steeped it for a bit longer. This caused a bit more of the mango flavors to surface. It steeped dark brown. I can barely see the bottom of my mug. As expected, the flavors are stronger, a little better than the last time I brewed it.

Rainforest Maté from Mighty Leaf Tea
94

Enjoying another cup of Rainforest Mate. I have yet to find a tea I enjoy more than this one!

Mango Mambo from Argo Tea
62

A simple black tea with mild mango undertones. Soothing, but a little boring. Herbal flavors are stronger than the fruity mango flavors.

Hibiscus Apple from Argo Tea
78

The aroma of the dry tea is powerful and full of Apple. It kind of reminds me of artificial tangy apple gum. Running hot water through the infuser brings on a wave of pink and purple in my mug. The color of this tea is beautiful! The flavor is pretty well blended between hibiscus and apple. It tastes fruity and tangy, but fades quickly leaving a faint apple cider taste.

Black Currant from Argo Tea
79

I was surprised by this one. I was expecting a much more spicy flavor from the currants, but was instead greeted with the refreshing sweet mate taste. This is a delicious subtle mate with a little kick!

Chocolate Mint Truffle from Mighty Leaf Tea
76

Very creative blend of tea! Right out off the bat, the tea bag smells deliciously chocolaty. It kinda smells like coca-puffs cereal. The tea steeps an amber brown. The peppermint flavor is stronger than chocolate, but both are pretty weak. My mouth is left feeling minty fresh with a tiny chocolaty after taste.

Organic Orange Sencha Green Tea from two leaves and a bud

Too light for my taste. I do get a very faint presence of orange & green tea, but it tastes very watered down even steeping for 6 minutes at 185F. Pairs nicely with shortbread cookies.

Rainforest Maté from Mighty Leaf Tea
94

This has been one of my favorite tea’s I’ve tried. I love the fruity flavors. It tastes well balanced. This one needs to steep at a high temperature for at least 5 minutes.

Peppermint from two leaves and a bud
63

Very light and refreshing. Minty but not overwhelming. Good for relaxing, not waking up. More pricey than my usual tea.

Fusion Green and White from Stash Tea Company
76

A delicious fusion of green and white tea. Slightly sweet, slightly herbal. Not too bitter at all. Doesn’t need any honey to sweeten it up.
