Aw yeah. Talkin’ bout dat Masta Collection.
This is some black tea from the Wuyi mountains in China, and it tastes divine. You haven’t had black tea with so many flavors in it. I could sip this all night while fraggin’ and PvPin.

Pretty darn good for a bagged tea. As soon as you take it out of its paper pillow the lemongrass/spearmint hits your nose. Luckily it tastes as good as it smells. One of the better bagged greens.
This one takes tweaking to get a good taste. Use only 2.0g for 7oz water.
Not for me.
Tasted better than normal Genmai, to me. It must be the added Matcha that kicked the taste up a notch.
2nd infusion just tasted like regular Genmai, as most of the Matcha got washed away.
I had high hopes for this tea, but they weren’t met. It’s almost like hot water with a hint of dark chocolate. You might as well take a pass and go for some hot cocoa instead. ;)
That said, the leaves themselves smell amazing, a rich chocolate smell. But in the end, taste is what matters and I wasn’t blown away.
I’ll try some variations in the steeping method later.

Had this recently at a family member’s house. Tasted nutty and roasty. Was pretty good, nothing to write home about though.

This tea is delicious, especially with milk/sugar. It has a sort of almost-but-not-quite cocoa taste to it.
Once brewed, the color is a light orange with a hint of pink. The smell is very mellow and at the same time rich with notes of what seems like exotic fruit. Smells nice. :O
After a sip, I’m impressed. It’s definitely flavorful and tastes almost how it smells. It has a unique flavor. As it cools its flavor is more pronounced. Definitely try this out if you’re into oolongs. Easily a new favorite.
Roasty goodness. I don’t even consider this a green tea in my own mind, tastes almost like a black tea. The stuff chest hair is made of.

Earl Grey!
I often drink this at work because I don’t want to transport my loose leaf utilities everyday. This is one of the better bagged teas though. If you’re in a pinch, go for this or Stash’s black teas.
Infatuated with this black tea. Extended steeping with milk and some cane sugar is win beyond win.
It barely has any color to it, but its smell and taste is utterly apparent. It’s like sipping an ancient forest in the dead of winter. I recommend steeping a tad longer than suggested with a little extra heat if you want to intensify the forest flavor even more.
Tastes smooth yet starchy. Not the most pleasing experience, but it’s not terribly bitter or overpowering either. Overall, meh.
