4 Tasting Notes

Genmaicha from Harney & Sons

I love this stuff. Delicious harmony between grassy, astringent green tea and roasted/toasted rice flavor.

Earl Grey (loose leaf) from Twinings

My preferred blend when I’m sick. It’s not the best I’ve had, but its quite serviceable. It has a nice black tea taste that isn’t overwhelmed by or overwhelming the bergamot. The bergamot is kinda one dimensional but its cheap, easy to find, and I couldn’t get it to brew bitter if I tried. A nice, no brainer tea that I can make and drink, with cream, when I’m knocked out with a cold or flu.

Keemun Mao Feng Treasure from Harney & Sons

Tried this in-store in Millerton. A delicious black that has a malty and bittersweet chocolate finish. Very nice astringency and strength makes it as interesting and intense on the intake as it is on the aftertaste.

CTC Assam from Harney & Sons

A decent cup on a student budget. Brews robust and stout, takes cream and sugar exceedingly well. Nice wake-me-up tea. Doesn’t have a whole lot of complexity but for the price you can’t beat it. Nice black tea to cook with as well as its strong enough that it won’t get overwhelmed by other flavors. I always have a tin around.
