10 Tasting Notes

Tropical Green from Harney & Sons

A lovely green tea with a subtle fruity sweetness. I was pleasantly surprised as I had procured this tea in a coffee shoppe.

China Keemun (No. 555) from TeaGschwendner
74

I found a tea shoppe in my area called Tin Roof Teas, and lo and behold; they sell this tea. I find it to be similar to an Irish Breakfast, but with a more subtle flavor.

Adagio - ingenuiTEA from Teaware

Just got mine yesterday and have made 14 eight ounce cups of tea. Suffice to say, I got absolutely no sleep last night. This device and the company that manufactures and sells it are brilliant!

Tea Earl Grey Hot from ThinkGeek
67

Not exceptional. Slightly better than Earl Grey I’ve had in the past.

Zombie Blood Orange from ThinkGeek
28

This is way too floral for my tastes, but not entirely undrinkable…

Pirate Chai from ThinkGeek
99

Second loose leaf tea I’ve ever tried. Best chai I’ve ever had, and I have had much chai in my life.

Timmy's 1Up Jasmine Green from ThinkGeek
70

Up until recently; I purchased tea in bags. I decided to start off with the Timmy’s Tea Sampler from Think Geek. I started with the 1UP Jasmine Green tea. I steeped what I’ll admit was too much tea leaves in 212 degree (Fahrenheit) water for 5 minutes as was directed, and it was very bitter, but not being one to give up easily, I tried again with less raw tea, steeping at the same time and temperature, and it had a lovely flavor and aroma.

Bio

For years my tea experience has been limited to bagged byproduct of tea production steeped to form an inadequate swill, but now that I have tried loose leave, I am reborn.
