9 Tasting Notes

Assam Mangalam Second Flush FTGFOP1 from Zen Tea
86

I was looking for something that would taste a little like Irish breakfast tea. it has a dense smooth flavor with hints of malt. taste good with a dash of honey. its is a good tea warm up in the morning. if zen tea ever decides to produce an Irish breakfast blend it should include this tea.

Chamomile from Zen Tea
90

Prior to this I have only have tried bagged chamomile and I’ve heard from other people that lose version taste different. So I took my first sip expecting it to be different and was delighted to find it to taste like chamomile I knew. Of course it taste different but there are many hints of sameness. It has a plain but pleasant taste that just make me want to relax. In a way it is kinda boring but in a good way. It is a cup of tea you drink when everything is going to fast. The taste reminds you to take a breath and think about simplicity.
Note: do not try to steep in a mesh ball; it is a pain to clean out.

True Blueberry from Celestial Seasonings
23

The first thing that I notice was the lovely blue color that it steeped to. The taste was not that lovely. It was just too much blueberry with a slight sour taste. Maybe it would be good if mixed with black tea but not by its self.

India Spice Chai from Celestial Seasonings
64

This was the first chai I tried. It was good for a beginner. The flavor is light and little bitter so milk and honey is a must. It smells better then it taste.

Chai White from Stash Tea Company
83

I use to drinking Chai with black tea but the white tea is nice switch. The spice make a decent blend. It is light and carefree!

Green Tea with Mint from Bigelow
40

I bought it because it was on sale and figure I like green tea and mint why not try them together. It was very bland. Maybe I’ll just stick with herbal mint teas

Refresh from Tazo
96

I tried many mint teas in the past, I per the herbal ones rather then the ones with black or green tea.

like the title suggest it is refreshing, it smell and taste refresh the mind. I hate it when people compare mint tea to gum. What do you expect? both mint tea and gum are flavored with mint. I regress, maybe mint tea is not for them

Earl Grey from Twinings
89

I bought a Twinings sampler. I found the earl Grey to be good with milk and little honey. when I finish my lips felt slightly oily but the taste was pleasant enough to let that pass

Spiced Chai from Bigelow
67

I have been looking for the perfect Chai for a while. this ones good but it need more spice or something. I have kinda bad habit of letting my tea steep for like 10 minutes thinking it will taste stronger, which it does. I dont really mind the bitter taste of over steeping. a dash of milk and spoon full of honey hid any bitterness.
