47 Tasting Notes

Fujian Baroque from Adagio Teas

Tung Ting Oolong from Ten Ren
75

Really good through the third infusion. I’ve been sharing it with the community house I’m staying at and they love it too!

Ceylon Sonata from Adagio Teas
75

When I was at the Field Museum of Natural History, I saw a diorama of a tea plantation in Sri Lanka.

Assam Chai from The Tea Garden
75

Yummy! I loved the Tea Garden store too. They have pretty fountains and the Tea-ristas are wonderfully pleasant.

Original Masala Chai from Yogic Chai
75

Normally I never add anything to my tea. But chai is my exception. This morning…too much milk :(

Fujian Baroque from Adagio Teas

I love this tea. The more I drink it the more I pick out delightful milk chocolate notes. Maybe hints of cardamon.

Ceylon Sonata from Adagio Teas
75

Just what I needed after a long day trekking around Chicago.

Ceylon Sonata from Adagio Teas
75

A nice black tea with subtle smokiness I really enjoyed.

Original Masala Chai from Yogic Chai
75

Wonderfully spicey and sweet. I really liked the green cardamon; a chai ingredient I hadn’t yet experienced. Made this for the boys with milk and sugar and they loved it. The assam tea base is pleasant and you don’t have to search deep beneath the spices to notice it.

Caramel from Adagio Teas

Almond from Adagio Teas
64

The almond certainly didn’t overpower the tea flavor. I did detect a hint of astringency when I followed the steeping instructions on the package. I generally like my blacks more to the three minute mark than the five. Still nice though.

Nicely full bodied. I got lots of cocoa notes but didn’t detect any spice or fruit. I really loved this tea.

Rose Marzipan Delight from Teavana
75

Sometimes this tea is a little too perfumey. I find I enjoy it most when I steep it at around two minutes. Great for Fall Evenings.

Earl Grey Creme from Teavana
75

Probably my favorite Earl Grey. Makes the most amazing iced tea.

Sweet Cranberry Black from Teavana
75

I think this maybe may favorite breakfast tea this fall. Normally I move towards spicy earl grey’s but there is something so fall about cranberries. The blackberry leaf adds a soothing subtlety.

Organic Keemun Hao Ya 'A' from Zen Tara Tea
75

Surprisingly light for a Keemun. Slightly smokey with roasted chestnuts in the aftertaste.

Sencha from Unknown
Sweet Cranberry Black from Teavana
75

Yummy every time. I like to steep this one closer to the three minute mark. Best breakfast tea.

Lu Shan Clouds and Mist (Yun Wu) from Teance
25

I found this tea to lack presence when first brewed. Mild maybe sweet. When it cooled it had a distinctly astringent taste when brewed to instruction, with a reduced water temp, and when brew time was shortened.

Sow Mee from Teas.com.au
Mate Lemon Blast from Teavana
75

1.5 tsp. water 208F steep for 5 minutes. I like to let it cool to room temp and then refrigerate as an iced tea.

Frutto Bianco Pearls from Teavana
75

Wonderfully fruity. Mild and sweet. I also resteeped it since the brew time was so short.
