90 Tasting Notes

Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
72

I liked this slightly better than the Irish Breakfast I had yesterday. It definitely has a more robust and complex flavor which I like.

I didn’t find anything super special about this tea but it was a really good black tea. I don’t drink too many black teas hot; I think some lemon would made it perfect.

Japanese Cherry from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
68

This was one of the very first loose leaf tea’s I ever bought. The first steep is always a tricky one because if you over steep it, it will taste very bitter. I recommend going with no more than 3mins. Excellent cherry flavor.

White Tangerine from Adagio Teas
80

So I’m not sure if I’ve ever eaten a tangerine before but I know what the flavor is and this tea has it. It follows suite with the other Adagio white teas I’ve tried thus far, a light tea with subtle hints of the fruit in it. I also lowered it’s recommended steep time of 7mins to 5mins per reccomendations of fellow steepersters.

White Pear from Adagio Teas
49

Gave this tea a second try this morning changing the amount I used and the steep time and though it did taste better it still wasn’t what I was looking for.

Earl Grey Bravo from Adagio Teas
80

The few Earl Greys that I’ve had I really liked and I was hoping the same would be true for this one as well. I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It has a that nice citrus taste that I think Earl Grey should have but not over powering. This will be one that I definitely buy a bigger tin of.

Here is a video of the kids and I giving it a try for the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEDWRirmMZM

White Pear from Adagio Teas

I was excited to try this tea as pears are one of my favorite fruits to eat, at least out of a can. But unfortunately I wasn’t that impress with my first pot. As always I’ll be giving it a few more tries but my first impression was meh.

White Blueberry from Adagio Teas
85

definitely better with two teaspoons of the leaves. The blueberry smell is much stronger than the flavor. It’s subtle and refreshing. Will definitely be buying a bigger tin of this.

White Blueberry from Adagio Teas

First time with this tea and it was fantastic. It’s very light but the blueberry rolls on nicely. I’m thinking I’ll use more leaves next time as I like my tea a bit stronger. Being my first time brewing my own white tea, it’ll take me a couple of times to get it down. Even with that being said, the tea was very good.

Orange Blossom Oolong from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Valentines from Adagio Teas
60

very interesting tea. Not something I would normally jump at because of the chocolate but it’s crazy how light it is and yet have that chocolate flavor. When you taste it you expect that creamy aftertaste of chocolate milk or eating a chocolate bar but there’s none of that here. Probably not something I would ever buy but I’m glad I got to try it.

Honeydew Oolong from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
85

steeping this in one of my new teapots my team bought for me.

Orange Blossom Oolong from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

this tea never gets old. They stopped selling it but I was lucky enough to find a store that had some and they sold me it from their stash. Sad to see it go :(

Tropical Passion from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
67

Nice tropical flavor. Nothing special, similar to something you would get in a restaurant. A nice change from the normal black tea.

Strawberry Cream from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
68

Light strawberry flavor with just a hint of cream.

Honeydew Oolong from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
85

Soooo good. I seriously love this tea. A light feel yet strong flavor of honeydew. My first oolong experience and it was fantastic.

Orange Blossom Oolong from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

my current favorite.

I’m a big fan of orange blossoms and the fact that this tea is made with them shoots it to the top of my list. Very tasty.
