Eastern Shore Tea Company

This tea is a bit strange. The smell is definitely chocolate. The initial taste is undeniably hazelnut. Unfortunately, the black tea gets lost somewhere in the mix. As the tea cools there is more of a chocolate flavor, but I wish the tea was more robust.

I really like this one. I’m on a diet and it satisfies my chocolate craving without the calories.

Delicious, not to sweet, nutty and fruity. One of my favorite Eastern Shore teas, and I like their brand very much in general.

I really like this tea. I would definitely agree that it should be consumed alone, and without food.

Again, not much flavor for a chocolate tea. Strawberries too. Really no flavor here for me… I don’t know… it seems like there should be a specific steep temperature and time for each tea, and each tea is different. I try not to pour just boiled water on any tea, because I think it might “burn” the flavor out of a tea.

This one sounded really good, but I may have steeped it too hot. There isn’t much flavor here.. but I’m confused at what the base of this tea is. Is it a black tea? It just mentions the flavors… the website does say it has caffiene though.

I received a sample of this tea from Jessica! Thanks! The smell of the dry teabag is very much of raspberry. I steeped this for a bit longer than most would steep a white tea because I like them a little stronger. The taste of the tea is initially the smooth white tea followed by a hefty fruity aspect. This is much better than I thought it would be!

This was just okay. I think it was a bit too spicy for my tastes – perhaps I will try again on a late, cold, winter night.

I LOVE this tea. I can’t quite put my finger on what makes it so good. It might be that the scent and taste is perfectly represented by the romanticism and mystery of Edgar Allan Poe.

This tea is perfect for autumn/winter. I have to say, I adore this tea. All the different flavors come together beautifully. I prefer to drink this solo and not with food because the ginger can be really overpowering.

I’ve hesitated to brew this, because my previous means of heating water was a standing water dispenser with only one heat setting. I got a new electric kettle for Christmas, and this was the first thing I brewed. I love white teas, but I haven’t had one in a while, because it’s so easy to scorch the leaves. I love the smell and taste of this tea. Slightly sweet and fruity with the light taste of white tea.

This one holds up better than the Sugar Plum I posted about earlier as I got them around the same time…I also like this one better too! I’m finishing a cup of it now…YUM!

Backlogging…not as ‘sugary’ tasting but still nice…could be because it’s been in my stash a while tho…lol…

Nice. Pleasantly sweet. Really good for a bagged tea. Nice berry flavor but doesn’t overwhelm the white tea base.

A nice tea to drink while I unwind!

I’ve had this twice now, and am surprised at how much I like it since I generally don’t care for cinnamon in teas. I bought this bag as a gift for my mother (at the MD Renaissance Festival of all places) because she loves cinnamon spice blends (Harney’s Hot Cinnamon Spice and Bigelow’s Cinnamon Stick are probably her faves). Anyway, she gave me a couple serving back in t-sacs so I could try it too. It smells like a bowl of potpourri when dry, but when brewed it mellows out a bit and the apricot and cinnamon are well-balanced and compliment each other nicely to make a soothing fall tea. The apricot floor is not very strong, or particularly “fresh” tasting, but neither is it overwhelmingly fake.

Eastern Shore has quite a range of blends. Maybe I’ll pick another one up from Herbalist’s Delight next time I’m at the fest (I go maybe every 2-3 years now).

This was a chance meeting, tiger & I. This little tea bag was hiding in a swap package …and OMHG!
Delish. Strong passionate chai of amazingness. Defintely makes my Top 5 chai’s of all time. I so need some more!

I have to try this one again.
Despite it being my choice for the tea party we had last week, I can’t say I really got much from this.

It’s a tea bag (and not even a fancy one at that) but it is surprisingly unhorrible. Very raspberry-y and sweet, there is a little hint of bitterness that I’m assuming comes from the broken leaf bits in the bag (which was the only thing in the bag). But it’s only a little tang and really not bad at all.

It’s actually a pretty bold tea for a fruit flavored white. Lots of flavor, even if most of it is raspberry. There’s some bean-ish tasting tea-ness in there to round it out. Raspberry isn’t my favorite flavor so it’s not something I’m in love with or would really even pick up, but it is much better than anything I was expecting!

More white tea than Raspberry but still decent…
