162 Tasting Notes

Casablanca Twist from Adagio Teas
64

Nice and refreshing. Smooth mint taste but not much tea taste comes through. However, it isn’t as strong as straight up mint which I appreciate.

Tippy Earl Grey from Golden Moon Tea
79

Yep. That’s right. I drank this again. Sometimes, I find a tea I can’t stop drinking and don’t want to stop drinking. So there!

Coconut Pouchong from Golden Moon Tea
92

Started to crave a cup of this when I saw it was the Steepster Select and so I made a cup as soon as I got home from work. This is such a wonderful tea! The Pouchong and coconut blend so well together, neither one overpowering the other. They just dance together in perfect harmony.

Tippy Earl Grey from Golden Moon Tea
79

I can’t seem to stop drinking this and I am getting worried. I am not supposed to like Earl Grey!!

Chamomile from Adagio Teas
85

Was in the mood for something light without caffeine since I am starting to wind down for the evening. This has a lovely soft sweet taste and is very relaxing. I remembered however that last time I drank this I had a little bit of an allergic reaction because it is part of the plant family that includes ragweed. And guess what? I’m allergic to ragweed. Wonderful. Why can’t I remember things like this before I actually consume the drink? Oh well. I enjoyed the taste and shall keep my fingers crossed that my body won’t react too unkindly to this yummy plant.

Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons
83

I love cinnamon and this tea seems to have the perfect amount in it. Wonderful for drinking during the winter months but would be equal as wonderful drinking this any time of the year when a sweet cinnamon treat is wanted. Yummy!

Assam Breakfast from The Republic of Tea
72

I am not typically a fan of Assam teas but a friend brought me a few bags to try and I don’t think it is too bad. Got some body to it but it isn’t knock me over strong. Only steeped it for 3 minutes, like I do with most black teas, and I am sure it would be a lot stronger if I let it steep longer. I don’t think I would drink this all the time, but I just might add this to my work tea collection since it is not bad for a bagged tea.

Tippy Earl Grey from Golden Moon Tea
79

It is cold in my classroom. Is working heat too much to ask for?!

I have this on my tea table next to me and have been drinking it all morning trying to warm up. This is the 1st Earl Grey I have liked so I can’t really compare it to any others. I will say that the addition of lavender seems to really balance out the overpowering nature of the bergamont and perhaps that is why I like it.

Eye of the Tiger from St. James Tearoom
75

Had afternoon tea this past weekend at a local tearoom and was served this tea. I immediately purchased some because it is one of the best flavored teas I have ever had.

Black tea base with rooibos, almonds, and hazelnut. I’m sure there is some flavoring involved but there are actual almond slices and hazelnut pieces throughout the leaves. It is incredibly warm and comforting. A perfect fall tea that is very flavorful and not bitter. Steep time of 4 minutes makes a wonderful cup. Just wish I could order this online instead of driving downtown. I’m lazy like that.

Green Anji from Adagio Teas
75

Simple green tea. Not a strong green taste but is still distinctly vegetal.

Black Currant from Harney & Sons
75

Very nice bold berry flavor. Good for a flavored tea.

Jian Xuan (Milk Oolong) from Holy Mountain Trading Company
75
Decaf Raspberry from Adagio Teas
75

Did a 3 minute steep time and added just a little agave. Got a very nice cup. Agave helped to bring out the sweetness of the raspberry and cut down on the cardboard decaf taste that can sometimes come through. Very nice nighttime treat.

Organic Darjeeling from California Tea House
78
Genmaicha Extra Green from Den's Tea
91

Went to the International Market here in town and they had this in a pyramid tea bag!! I nearly jumped for joy. Am now enjoying this at work and loving it.

Vanilla Spice from Ashby's of London
75

Found this tea bag in the teacher’s lounge with other tea bags that are provided for us. My own work tea collection is in my classroom so I rarely need to get tea elsewhere but I was feeling adventurous.

Steeped for 3 minutes, smells like an instant Chai mix. Taste isn’t too bad, not high quality but it is flavorful. May have to get out of my tea corner more often just for fun.

Strawberry from Adagio Teas
77

Got distracted helping a student and way oversteeped this. Nothing makes me more sad than bitter tea.

Genmaicha Extra Green from Den's Tea
91

Savory, toasty, sweet, relaxing, wonderful. I will say it again, I adore this tea.

Nepalese Afternoon Tea from Golden Moon Tea
75
Yunnan Golden Buds from California Tea House
93

Smooth, medium body, ever so slightly smokey. No bitterness what-so-ever. Really enjoyed this at a steep time of 3 minutes.

Nepalese Afternoon Tea from Golden Moon Tea
75

Steeped for 4 minutes and had a lovely cup. Slightly floral and a little bit of natural sweetness. Great with breakfast.

Green Tea Tropical from Mighty Leaf Tea
60

While I do like this, I need to expand my tea collection at work. Kinda boring at the moment.

Red Cherry (Sip for the Cure) from The Republic of Tea
75

Bold cherry taste with white tea supporting it. Not too shabby actually.

Silver Needle from Teavana
75
