181 Tasting Notes

London Fog Tea Latte (Now called Earl Grey Latte) from Tazo
40

This is basically steamed milk with a pyramid pouch of Tazo Earl Grey and a few vanilla shots. I like it the most out of Starbucks’ selection of tea lattes, but sometimes it can get too syrupy (depending on the barista).

Organic Spring Jasmine from Mighty Leaf Tea

Maybe it’s because I’ve had a small tin of this sitting in my cupboard for half a year, but it’s mellower (and I think sweeter) than other jasmine greens I’ve tried. That’s not a bad thing.

Ancient Golden Yunnan from Rishi Tea
93

Always a dependable breakfast tea (even though it’s past noon already today). Steeped for 4 1/2 minutes, it’s got a strong, malty flavor and dark reddish-brown liqueur.

Green Tea Tropical from Mighty Leaf Tea
Mandarin Silk from Art of Tea

I first tried this at Siptea out in downtown LA. It was so good, I bought a couple ounces to take home with me. The vanilla smells absolutely amazing — every time I introduce a new friend to this, the usual reaction is “whoa.”

Tea 380 from TWG Tea Company
60
Silver Needle from Adagio Teas
78
Scorpio (The Zodiac Series) from Adagio Teas
Lahore Chai from Lahore Deli
96

Delicious one-dollar chai served up in a dixie cup at a hole-in-the-wall 24-hour hangout for South Asian cabbies. Very New York. Very delicious.

Kao Shan (High Mountain) Oolong from Kao Shan
Organic Spring Jasmine from Mighty Leaf Tea
Organic Earl Grey from Mighty Leaf Tea
Snow Buds (Xue Ya) from Rishi Tea

This is one of the first premium teas I picked up when I really started getting serious about tea last year.

The nutty aroma of the dry leaves comes through wonderfully at first whiff, and it’s a great lunchtime/afternoon tea, especially when paired with spicy Thai food.
