87 Tasting Notes

This Earl Grey contains the freshest, strongest bergamot I’ve ever smelled/tasted! It may well be the nicest overall Earl Grey I’ve ever tried. For fans of extra-citrusy teas, this one is a good choice.

So far, I’ve sampled the cinnamon and the almond. Both are absolutely lovely; they taste like what they are, but without the cinnamon and almond overpowering the taste of the black tea. UPDATE: I’m drinking the vanilla just now. I’d say this is the loveliest of the three; you can tell the flavoring used is actually real vanilla and not imitation! It’s also the strongest flavor of the three, which kind of surprises me. I would have expected it to be the cinnamon. Almond is the mildest.

Overpriced, perhaps, but the taste is exceptional. I can’t find it anywhere in the UK, although I can find some of the other Tea Forte blends (their green teas, specifically). One normally doesn’t think of pairing jasmine with a black tea, but Ceylon is light and sweet enough to carry it off.

After getting attached to Brewhaha’s Rose Tea, I can’t seem to find another black tea with rose that impresses me quite as much. The rose flavor in this is very slight.

Quite a nice green – clear, mild sweet taste – but be wary of over-brewing!

One of my favorite bagged chais. Especially clove-y!

Against all logic, I really love matcha. I’m generally not a fan of green teas unless they’re a really nice sencha or a flavored variety, but matcha is a different animal. Maybe it’s green tea ice cream that swayed me.

I tried this at a friend’s place, and now I’ve come to think of it as their house tea – I always look forward to it! Light, sweet, fruity, and complex. Takes honey very nicely. Tends not to go bitter, which is a plus in case you let it brew a minute too long.

Very nice for a bagged flavored green. Hits the spot!

Mild for a Darjeeling, with clear, sweet flavor and a distinct absence of bitterness. The fruity note makes me think of banana!
