Coconut Cream Pie from 52teas

Pineapple Sencha from Den's Tea

I’m going to write a nice long review the next time I have this. Progress report grades are due tomorrow, and I’m just too swamped with grading.

CO2 Premium Decaffeinated Earl Grey (TXE9) from Upton Tea Imports
84
Prince of Wales (loose leaf) from Twinings

Very nice tea. I tasted it straight before I “doctored it up”. There was no trace of bitterness, just a little touch of a malty flavor on the middle of my tongues. A very mild tea, it still stood up well to vanilla coffee creamer (I’m out of soy creamer right not) and some sweetener. IMO this is a good staple tea, and I really wish my grocery store had it on the shelves!! I picked up a tin at the tea shop in EPCOT yesterday, since we were there for a day of fun, and I know that I like the bagged version of this tea.

Mugicha - Iced Barley Tea Bags from Den's Tea
86

This comes in bags that make a liter at a time. It’s a fast, cold brew tea and is ready after an hour in the fridge. The resulting tea is a nice, orangey brown color. The taste is very nutty and grainy. It is very refreshing, and makes you want to gulp it down if you drink it while you are really thirsty. I enjoyed my first taste, and I think it will be really wonderful in the summer when it is hot out and we need something really, really cold to drink.

This is definitely something that I’ll be drinking again, especially since it is completely caffeine free. (Well, unless barley somehow has caffeine in it.)

Piccolo from Lupicia

Orange U Slim from Teas Etc

Chamomile Citrus from Mighty Leaf Tea
84

And it’s gone!! Even though this was a bagged tea, it was still good and I’m adding it to the shopping list. It’s nice to have at least a few things that I like available at the local grocery store.

Tsugaru Green from Lupicia

Silonibari, BPS(CTC) from Lupicia
85

This is straight up tea. The kind of tea that you enjoy after overdosing on the chocolate mint pumpkin spice koolaid melange that sounded so good when you ordered it. I drank this with a touch of soy creamer and some sweetener, which added to the whole this is a tea for someone who wants tea vibe. Lupicia suggests using this tea to make masala chai, which I plan on doing eventually. (I have a bottle of their spices for tea.) Meanwhile, while I’m dealing with a month in which everything that could go wrong IS going wrong, this is a nice, non-bitter flavorful way to start a Friday morning.

Zingiber Ginger Coconut from Teavana

It’s all gone now!! I always seem to go through the non-caffeinated teas much quicker than the ones with caffeine. Guess it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why!

I’m adding this to the shopping list. With some sweetener and creamer, it’s a great evening treat.

Sakurambo from Lupicia

This is an interesting flavored tea. It’s not really fruity, but it is fruit flavored. (I hope that makes some kind of sense!) I’m interested in trying this one iced. I think that the green version would be worth a try as well. The tea has a kind of sour tang. I didn’t taste any bitterness, but I thought this one definitely needed a little bit of sweetener.

Honeybush from Lupicia

it’s official. I like honeybush. This has a nice, nutty flavor that’s easily enhanced by addition of a little sweetener. I added some liquid vanilla stevia, which is a favorite of mine! I must admit that I prefer flavored honeybush, but this is very nice, and I certainly wouldn’t turn it down if offered!

Chocolate Mint Flavored Black Tea from 52teas
89

Carolyn said this is like eating a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie. Her description fit my experience. I was able to notice a nice chocolate flavor and there was a trace of mint. I thought there was enough mint, but it wasn’t MINT, if you catch my drift. I put in some soy creamer, so mine tasted kind of like Thin Mints dipped in milk. It was definitely delicious and I’m looking forward to trying it again!

Profile

Bio

I’m a high school chemistry teacher. I enjoy most types of teas. I don’t have any tea shops in my hometown, so I usually order my teas online. Even though I’ve drunk tea for quite a number of years, ordering online for about 15 years, I am far from a tea expert. I just know what I like.
