117 Tasting Notes

Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
91
Ceylon Waltz from Adagio Teas
77

I think I killed this cup. It was the first time I’ve tried this tea, and I added milk. I think it would be better off without it. I’ll log the next cup, and hope that it’s better. (This cup wasn’t bad. Just very very mild.)

Wuyi Ensemble from Adagio Teas
79

Nice, although I think I need to switch to decaf now…

Ceylon Sonata from Adagio Teas
77

Had this a couple of hours ago. Better as iced tea.

Assam Melody from Adagio Teas
64

Smooth, mild, and kind of boring. Once I finish this batch I won’t be getting more.

Assam Harmony from Adagio Teas
95

Have a sore throat. Good with milk.

Tiramisu Treviso from Teavana
83

I love this tea SO MUCH. That is all.

Assam Melody from Adagio Teas
64

I don’t like this as much as Adagio’s Assam Harmony. It’s a little too sweet. I’ll try it again soon, because I bought 3oz of it and I might as well give it a few more tries.

Wild Strawberry from Adagio Teas
51

Good iced. The hibiscus finish doesn’t do anything for me, but the strawberry flavor is very nice.

Opus Rouge Rooibos from Teavana
88

I received this as a gift from someone, and I’m very grateful. I made a pitcher of it iced, and it’s wonderful. I like blackcurrant in tea, I’m finding. Very distinct flavor.

Assam Harmony from Adagio Teas
95

I got an order in from Adagio today, including more of this tea. I made a cup right away. Soooo tasty. I love the maltiness of a good Assam, and I’d missed it!

Black Dragon Pearls from Adagio Teas
100

I drank this on the drive to meet my in-laws for lunch. I love this tea so hard. I could actually taste the cocoa notes this time, as the tea cooled down a little. Fabulous. I need to order more of this!

Swiss Vervaine Melange from Teavana
93

Winding down for the night. This is a great bedtime tea. It’s relaxing and comforting and tasty.

Assam Harmony from Adagio Teas
95

I had a cup of this an hour ago to celebrate my doctor giving me permission to drink caffeinated tea again (but in moderate amounts, not the 10 cups I was having before I went on this medication). It’s so strong and malty. This was the last of my sample. Next time I order from Adagio I’m going to include some of this. It’s wonderful.

Holy Basil Purple Leaf (BH02) from Upton Tea Imports
96

Having this right now. Interesting and tasty as usual.

Assam Harmony from Adagio Teas
95

So delicious. Malty and strong and smooth. This was great to have with breakfast this morning!

Dokudami Umami Herbal Tea from Teavana
70

I’m on my second steep of this. It’s not as good as steep number one, but it’s still pretty tasty. I’m trying to relax and unwind — got in a car accident today. Wonder how this tea would be with a shot of rum in it… ;)

Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
91

Nice and malty. Had it with a touch of milk. Yum.

Tiramisu Treviso from Teavana
83

Had this in the afternoon while running errands. I had some yesterday, too. If I want my stash to last I can’t have a cup every damn day. Must cut back…

Swiss Vervaine Melange from Teavana
93

This is such a nice bedtime tea. I heart it.

Opus Rouge Rooibos from Teavana
88

This is one of Teavana’s new offerings. I got a cup while in their store. It’s delicious. It would be freaking excellent over ice. It’s basically fruit juice, because it’s so full of berries. I’m going to buy some next paycheck to make iced tea with. Yum.

Yunnan Gold from Adagio Teas
89

First cup of tea of the day. Tasty and smooth as usual! I love the way this tea smells. It smells… warm. I don’t know how else to describe it.

Yunnan Gold from Adagio Teas
89

This is such a nice tea. I normally don’t drink caffeine after noon, but I’m sleepy and have a paper to write for school. So no nap, and I get some lovely lovely black tea. The Yunnan Gold is a nice treat to have every few days. It’s just so smooth! <3

Dokudami Umami Herbal Tea from Teavana
70

Teavana’s discontinuing this one. I’m sad. It’s tasty!

Profile

Bio

I’m a thirtysomething college student (psychology major). Love to read and knit.

Tea preferences: I must admit that I’m not big on subtlety. I like my tea strong and for the flavor to whack me upside the head. I enjoy complex teas, but I just don’t have a sensitive enough palate for the subtle. I know, I’m a heathen…
