9 Tasting Notes

Vanilla Orchid from DAVIDsTEA
84

I believe this was the tea that was up for samples in-store…

It was wonderful as a cold drink, I think I’ll have to come back to find this tea again :D

Tranquil Dream (Night Night) from Teavana
78

I do like this tea…. However, compared to other teas I’ve had, it doesn’t rank quite as high.

It has a tantalizing aroma about it, but sometimes the flavours aren’t quite up to par with what I expect of it. Not much of the mint to be found, but chamomile and citrus flavours are very apparent.

It’s worth sharing with your friends and is great for relaxation, I will give it that.

Orange Pekoe from Red Rose
57

I like to drink this steeped in milk with a bit of sugar in it.

I’m not much of a straight black tea kind of girl, but I do enjoy orange pekoe in latte form :P

Clarity: Blueberry Ginseng with Gingko from Tetley
42

I’m not usually very fond of blueberries…

But this tea was alright. A tart flavour if over-steeped, but a good steep time (imho) results in a nice, light (enough) flavour that I can, unfortunately, only bear a teacup of.

Lemon Honey Chamomile from Disney Wonderland Tea
67

Keep in mind that I’m not a lemon-y kind of person…

I got this tea as a gift from a friend. It was a kind gesture, haha :)

But initially, it was the sweet scent of honey that drew me in. The lemon taste was a little overwhelming and had a little artificial kind of taste…

However, it’s a great tea to re-steep 3-5 times and chamomile is amazing.

And the boxing is amazing- Alice in Wonderland is worth a little futterwacken! (an AiW reference :D)

Mamma Mia from DAVIDsTEA
44

Mamma mia! I absolutely loved the aroma…

Maybe it’s because I steeped it for a bit too long…. But I think it’s tastes…. Like medicine.

However, I will give it another shot (the rest of the 50g of it) because I think it’d taste better as a cold drink rather than a hot one, and there is so much flavour going on that my tastebuds are going insane.

Maybe this review will improve, but for now… This is it.

Genmai-cha from Yamamotoyama
100

My ultimate green tea drink. I adore the flavour :)

Rooibos Vanilla (Red Tea) from Tetley
68

Some say it tastes like medicine, but I digress. It does taste soothing and great at night steeped in milk, though :)

Sleep Well from Teaopia
100

The best herbal tea I’ve ever tried, so far.

My friend gulped this stuff down and I wish that the Teavana inherited this flavour when it bought out Teaopia :(
