16 Tasting Notes

Nostalgia from Czar Nikolas II
100

probably my favorite, I think this is the house tea at Russian Tea Time 77 E Adams

Renaissance from Czar Nikolas II
100

this is one of my favorites, to me this is sort of unusual flavor

Laichee Black Tea from Kwong Sang
100

from Chinatown, sweet but very clean and crisp and refreshing

Cheericup Ceylon from Mark T. Wendell
100
Jasmine Tea from Fujian Tea

I pick this up when ever Im in Chinatown, and today I threw in some rosemary and thyme cause Im sick with a head-chest cold

Rooibush Eggnog from TeaGschwendner

I was wet and cold and crabby and tired, this totally hit the spot Mmmm

Indian Chai from TeaGschwendner
85
China Lapsang Souchong - 581 from TeaGschwendner

this Lapsang Souchong from TeaGschwendner seemed very weak to me

Yerba Mate Cruz de Malta 500gram from Cruz de Malta
19

tastes like wheat grass juice, and I should know, I grew up in a health-food store, lol, just because I dont like it I gave it a low score, but I do know others that love this stuff

Lapsang Souchong (loose leaf) from Twinings
100

I love this on a wet cold day with just a teensy bit sugar and milk

Hu Kwa from Mark T. Wendell
84

I found this to be less smoky than the various Lapsang Souchong I get in Chinatown

Constant Comment from Bigelow
85

reminds me of my Granma, she used to make this quite often, I have it loose in the oval cardboard canister

Pyramid Teabags from PG Tips
100

this is my old stand-by here in Chicago we have pretty good tap water so this turns out GREAT for me, no funny smell, I only steep for about a minute and a half and dont squeeze the bag so its never bitter unless I forget and stew it

Premium St. Valentine Tea from Czar Nikolas II
99

Ive been drinking this tea forever, here in Chicago I get it at Bobak’s on Archer ave

Premium St. Valentine Tea from Czar Nikolas II
99

Czar Nikolas II also comes in a Silver package: Black Currant, Strawberry (Nostalgia)
this one is my favorite flavor from this line and I think it is the house tea at Russian Tea Time on Adams street here in Chicago

Blue package: Safflower, Marigolds, Blue Mallow Blossoms (Renaissance)

black pkg and a green pkg which both taste like Earl Grey

Formosa Mingjian GABA Tea from auraTeas
98

I have this tea, I make it with fresh lemon peel and palm sugar, and just let it sit in my dancing leaves teapot for as long as it takes me to finish, never gets bitter but then doesnt have enough oompf to make another pot
