Harvest Moon from Great Lakes Tea and Spice
87

Quite possibly the best flowering tea I’ve ever had. The carnation-jasmine combo rules. The first pot was smooth and rich, and the second pot was surprisingly sweet. I’m trying to get a third infusion out of it. We’ll see how this goes.

Jasmine Pearls from In Pursuit of Tea

The barista at Atlas Cafe wasn’t sure where they got their tea from, but looking at some of the containers on the shelf, I have a hunch it was this one. Was in the mood for something light and it did the trick.

Ceylon from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
70

Steeped for 4 minutes. I haven’t quite made up my mind about the first two cups of this. Seems like it might be better mid-day than for breakfast.

Lahore Chai from Lahore Deli
96
Citron Green from Adagio Teas
73

Exactly what I was looking for after a sushi lunch and some egg custard. Steeped for 2 1/2 minutes, the citrus was just right for my tastes.

Did I mention this deli’s right around the corner from my gym? You can pretty much look at my tealog and figure out how often I work out. Best chai in New York.

Tie Guan Yin from Radiance Tea
86

Great with lunch, a solid restaurant-style oolong (even though they have higher-grade varieties on the menu). Came with a shrimp and avocado over rice lunch box.

Golden Yunan from Radiance Tea

Dragonwell from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
92
Nepal from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

Tea with attitude (and altitude). I like the idea of “Damn Fine Tea.” Damn fine packaging too. This is the first Nepal tea I’ve tasted and it reminds me a lot of a darjeeling I have in my cupboard. The recommended steep time was 3 minutes, and I let it sit about a minute too long…

Chocolate Covered Strawberry from Subtle Tea

This reminds me of the other cacao-flavored teas I’ve had, like common Vienna green teas. I’m usually not a fan of strawberry in my tea, but this one isn’t too overpowering and the slight hint of vanilla is nice.

Assam Doomur Dullung from Subtle Tea
Lahore Chai from Lahore Deli
96

After a morning workout, there is nothing on earth that’s better.

Pure Green Tea from Twinings
Earl Grey Lavender from Revolution Tea
68
Flowering Tea from Dabutong Handicrafts Tea
75

Mom brought me a bag of individually wrapped flowering teas from China. This particular one has a buttery jasmine flavor. Mmmmmm.

Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte from Tazo
15

I didn’t like this the first time I tried it and I liked it even less the second. The vanilla tastes artificial and there’s something just off about the flavor combination.
