2 Tasting Notes

Mahalo from Joy's Teaspoon
90

I actually received this tea as a sample with my order and I will be forever grateful. It is like drinking something wonderfully green, sunny and tropical. I did identify one thing that I was unhappy with while I was sipping this tea on my couch: I didn’t have any palm trees or blue ocean in my living room. Thank you Joy’s Teaspoon! This will be on my next tea order.

Earl Grey Creme from Joy's Teaspoon
86

This is the second tea I have tried from Joy’s teaspoon and yet again I was not disappointed. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package is how fantastic this tea smelled. Citrusy/Floral Bergamot followed by the strong sweet scent of vanilla. I brewed this tea at 205 degrees for four and half minutes and found it to be perfect. It tasted smooth, creamy and had a well balanced blend of bergamot and vanilla.
The only thing that kept me from giving this tea a higher score was the fact I developed a slight slick feeling in my mouth about 20 minutes after I was finished drinking it.
Regardless, I really enjoyed this Earl Grey Creme tea.
**Update: Ok, so I tried this tea again this morning and that slight slick feeling that I noticed the first time I drank it was gone. I will definitely be ordering this again.
