392 Tasting Notes

Apricot Decaf (Fair Trade Certified) from The Republic of Tea
67

This was pretty decent. It was more peachy than apricoty. It was sweet and pleasant though.

Citrus Blossom Eco Pyramid Teabag from Art of Tea
87

My first thought hen I tried this was orange creme soda. I let my boyfriend try it and he thought it tasted like orange soda. It was very strange but not bad. I enjoyed it a lot. It really hit the spot tonight. I think that it is something you have to be in the mood for, but I found it quite delicious.

Peach Oo-la-long from Honest Tea
83

This is yummy! I love this brand of iced tea. They are slightly sweet but not too sweet. I prefer unsweetened iced tea but when thats not available this is pretty great. It is peachy and flavorful and awesome! Very refreshing too!!!

Caramel from Adagio Teas
91

Started my day off with another caramel latte – yum! I am gonna miss this sample when it is gone. This tea is extremely delicious!

Black Pearl Tea from Lipton
71

Used this for an afternoon pick-me-up. It was a nice cup of tea.

Caramel from Adagio Teas
91

I made a latte with this tea this morning. I used my milk frother and it came out really pretty! I was excited. I also sweetened it with a dash of chocolate syrup. It was positively delicious!!!! Chocolatey and caramely and not to sweet and the tea shone through nicely too. Yummy!

Decaf Vanilla from Adagio Teas
64

No overly impressed with this tea. It wasn’t horrible or anything it just wasn’t great. I had it will a bit of milk and it distinctly reminded of when I experimented with putting French vanilla creamer in black tea. It kind of results in a weak tea, fake vanilla flavor. I will finish the sample I got but definitely won’t be buying more.

Caramel from Adagio Teas
91
Calm from Tazo
75

I really enjoy this tea. It is very relaxing and I think it goes excellently with sweet snacks (I just had it with some chocolate chip cookies). I also think this tea has very strong flavor, all the elements shone through nicely. The only thing I don’t like is the smell – I think it is the rose, it’s kind of a sickly smell. Luckily it doesn’t taste like the dry leaf smells so all is good.

Decaf Mandarin Green from Adagio Teas
70

Finished off my pot of this from yesterday – still good :-)

Caramel from Adagio Teas
91

The dry leaves smelled awesome. They smelled so carmely!! Very nice tea. It has a nice black tea flavor with just a hint of caramel. It was nice and sweet but not overpowering. I added milk to bring out the caramel flavor. It was quite good.

Decaf Mandarin Green from Adagio Teas
70

This tea was pretty decent. It was a pretty basic green tea. I enjoyed the flavor. Grassy and green-tea-y. There wasn’t much mandarin flavor.

I prepared this tea hot and then chilled it in the fridge for a few hours.

I will definitely enjoy the rest of this sample but I probably won’t purchase more of this tea.

Coconut Pouchong from Adagio Teas
89

I really enjoyed this tea. I must admit I haven’t really tried oolong before ( besides maybe pre-bottle iced kind) so I can’t rate this tea on it’s oolongness, but as a tea in general it was quite good.

The dry leaves smelled delicious kind of like an almond joy. The wet leaves didn’t have as strong of a coconut smell – it smells kind off spicy like fresh cut herbs or grass.

The tea tasted kind of like green tea, vegetal. Then it tasted kind of smooth/oily but in a good way. I have heard people describe oolong as buttery so maybe that’s it. Finally it had just a hint of coconut. The coconut wasn’t strong but I liked that because it added to the flavor without taking away from the tea flavor.

Honeydew White Tea from Inko's
94

I really enjoy this tea. It is sweet but not too sweet and has a very nice light and refreshing flavor. Just what you want in an iced tea.

Oxford Breakfast Tea from Cardew & Co.
100

Had this tea this morning with homemade blueberry waffles = yum! I love this tea. It is a very sturdy breakfast tea, the best I have ever had :-)

Heath® Bar Chocolate Toffee Black Tea from 52teas
75

I had this iced today and I think that I liked it better this way. It seems like something that would be better hot, but I think that the chocolate/toffee flavor comes through more when this is iced. It was pretty yummy :-).

Prince of Wales from Twinings
92

Had this iced today. Made it hot and then added ice. This is an excellent quick iced tea. No sugar necessary.

Vanilla Caramel Truffle from Lipton
65

I really like this tea. It has nice flavor and smells amazing but I have one problem with it. Something is just off. It is almost oily – I am not sure if that is the right word. Its just weird. Can’t put my finger on it.

Ginger Peach (Green) from The Republic of Tea
89

I got this in the Republic of Tea catalogue. It was very yummy. It smelled nice and peachy. I made it hot but then added ice and it made a very nice iced tea. The peach flavor really shined and I love subtle fruity iced teas. Especially with white or green bases. I would definitely consider buying this.

Lapsang Souchong from Whittard of Chelsea
86

Just had this with some black bean tortilla chips and homemade guacamole = yummy. The smokiness of this tea went well with my savory snack :)

Tali's Masala Chai Eco Pyramid Teabag from Art of Tea
72

I didn’t really like this tea the first time I had it but it was much better today. I steeped it for 4 minutes using steep.it and I added a little bit of milk. I think the milk really helped mellow out the spices and it was quite enjoyable. I swear it had a slight scent of rum which I thought was a little odd, but overall it was good. I am gonna bump up the rating a bit.

Chai Spiced Apple from Twinings
75

I had this tea this morning it was decent. It is way more apple then tea. Kind of like apple cider. Its a good morning tea. I am separated from my whole tea collection right now so this is a pretty good stand-in.

Japanese Green Tea Eco Pyramid Teabags from Art of Tea
52

I still am not a big fan of this tea. I don’t think I like what ever green tea art of tea uses because I didn’t like the mint green I got in this sampler pack either. The tea isn’t un-drinkable but I don’t find it particularly pleasant. It reminds me of seaweed and tastes almost salty. I like when green teas are more grassy/earthy.

Pomegranate Green Tea from The Republic of Tea
60

I had the bottled iced version of this, so not this exact tea but I figured it was pretty similar since the iced tea is unsweetened. It was okay, the beginning tasted like cough syrup which wasn’t pleasant but I think it was because my fridge froze it and then it un-froze which messed up the flavoring. I have had this before and don’t remember the cough syrup note. About 1/4 of the way into the bottle that flavor left and it basically tasted fruity and I swear I tasted vanilla but I don’t know where that would be coming from.

Profile

Bio

I am a typical college student, an Evolutionary Anthropology major. I spend most of my time hanging out with my boyfriend and friends, playing TF2 and popcap games, reading, and of course drinking tea.

I first started drinking tea every morning when I was a freshman in high school. I have recently discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I absolutely adore trying new teas (especially ones that sound like desserts)…Although I will always have my old favorite: big bold breakfast teas and my new favorite: wonderfully flavorful rooiboses.
