87 Tasting Notes

Cinnamon Stick from Bigelow
41

meh, that’s what this was, just meh. like something i’d drink if there was nothing else, but there really wasn’t much cinnamon flavor.

Green Tea with Lemon from Bigelow
74

made a cup to wake me up during my test. =P

Cozy Chamomile from Bigelow
72

made a cup to calm me down before my test. i think it’s funny how chamomile smells bad but tastes good.

Peach Black from Stash Tea Company
79

I really liked this tea the first time I had it. This time, the peach flavor was just as I remembered it, except I couldn’t taste the tea at all. It was like drinking peach flavoring in hot water. It still smells good sitting on my desk…

Peppermint from Celestial Seasonings
87

had another cup a couple nights ago. i didn’t realize that this “tea” is really just peppermint leaves. and it tastes so good! just left the teabag in the cup because of celestial seasonings no bag thing and my i-don’t-want-to-wash-a-spoon thing =P

have to say that this is a very calming tea, almost feels like chamomile. am thinking about getting a box/stealing another bag from my friend =D

Jasmine Tea from Fujian Tea
89

tastes just like restaurant tea (they probably do actually use this since it’s so cheap). drinking a nice mugful while i try and finish hw.

had to add more tea because it wasn’t strong enough.

Orange Spice from Stash Tea Company
49

So I’ve discovered that I don’t really like orange teas, but aside from my dislike of the flavor, this tea wasn’t bad, so I gave it a fair rating. So that I could finish the cup, I stuck some hazelnut creamer in to cover the orange flavor. With that, it kinda reminded me of orange christmas cookies. I think everything reminds me of christmas these days, and how much I’d rather be home than taking finals….oh well. But yeah, it’s good to know what kinds of teas I don’t like =]

Safari Spice Red Tea from Celestial Seasonings
87

my first experience with rooibos outside of starbucks/CBTL. gotta say pretty yummy. i drank some plain – yummy – decided to add some vanilla creamer – also yummy and reminded me of a mix of a chai tea latte and vanilla rooibos tea latte from CBTL, my two favorites. perfect combination of sweet and spicy.

Earl Grey from Bigelow
67

my staple tea. first time without creamer though. i never noticed before that there really isn’t much tea taste. maybe time to move on to a different staple? either way, i think i’ll keep taking it with creamer when i have it.

Peppermint from Celestial Seasonings
87

mm, this was really yummy. had it last night and made me feel like christmas. =] since it’s herbal and i didn’t brew it that long, the flavor was light but the mintyness was strong. i had it along with a few gingersnaps, great pairing.

Peach Black from Stash Tea Company
79

I was worried that this would be a nasty fruit tea, but this might change my mind about fruit/tea combinations. The peach flavor is enough to be noticeable but not overwhelming and it makes the tea pleasantly sweet. I normally take my black tea with cream and sugar, but this one tastes great plain.

Chai Spice from Stash Tea Company
75

Took this with creamer this morning. Have to say it was spicier than I expected, but still good.

White Tea with Tangerine from Bigelow
74

This tea was ok. The tangerine smell was a little too strong in my opinion, but the tea tasted fine. Not quite as mild as I expect for white tea though.

Oriental Delight from Ten Ren
100

This tea is yummmy. I was trying to find a bagged version of my favorite dim sum tea so that I could enjoy it at school. Somewhat difficult to find without knowing Chinese characters, but after standing in the tea aisle long enough, I picked up this box and whaddayaknow!

Anyway, this tea is great, not too sweet, not too bitter. I have tried Ten Ren’s chrysanthemum tea and found it way to sweet. Their combination with Pu-erh is spot on!

Graduate environmental engineering student. But currently research-less and therefore left with plenty of free time on my hands.

Grew up drinking tea (especially milk tea!) and now I’m a pretty big fan of any tea. And yes, I take my black tea with milk and sugar ;)
