11 Tasting Notes

Vata from Satori Tea Company
75

I loved that this tea was naturally sweet with a spice kick! I enjoy it on the cool side.
It’s a great tea, but then again, I am a vata personality!

English Teatime - Decaffeinated from Bigelow
15

I was never a big fan of this tea but it seems to have gotten worse. I’ve recently realized that the tea falls out of the teabag within seconds of steeping it (I’ve been seeing this for a couple of weeks now). Either the boxes I’ve been drinking were defects or Bigelow has changed something in the bag manufacturing that renders it nearly useless

Darjeeling from Bigelow
70

This is the only tea from Bigelow brand that I like (of the 6 or 7 that I have tried) but I would put most other brands of basic black tea ahead of even this.

Lipton Black Tea from Lipton
75

This is my favorite basic black tea to fall back on. It tastes best with cardamom, milk, and sugar, and served hot with the milk boiled before it is added.

India Spice Chai (Decaf) from Celestial Seasonings
75

This spicy tea was delicious, served hot with sugar and skim milk

Big Red Sun from Harney & Sons
66

This tea is really strong and very flavorful with teabags made from a nice cloth-like mesh material

Honey Ginseng from The Republic of Tea
75

This tea has a delicate, sweet flavor but is very bold. I had this team medium-hot with a little bit of sugar.

Mango Mist Loose Leaf Tea from Ithaca Coffee Company
75
Gyokuro from Kujuen
75

I steeped a bag of this tea in a small quantity of medium temperature water, and it came out perfect with a subtle green color and subtle-y sweet taste

Hoji-cha from Kujuen
75

This tea was delicious and light with a cooked flavor. I steeped this tea in medium-hot water for a couple minutes before serving

Rooibos Sweet Amore from Teavana
60

After smelling lots of teas, this teas aroma stood out. After bringing it home I found that it was probably because the scent is fairly pervasive and almost medicine-like. The tea was pretty good, but not my favorite. I brewed this loose-leaf tea in very hot water for a couple minutes and mixed with a small amount of sugar. This tea would not go particularly well with milk
