162 Tasting Notes

Dragonwell from Adagio Teas
75

Tea for work today. Vegetal with an ever so slight roasted quality and a tiny but of astringency. Still need to try other Dragonwells to compare.

English Breakfast from Adagio Teas

Good basic English Breakfast. Still learning to like this as it is slightly stronger than I care for but it is not bad at all.

Honeybush Apricot from Adagio Teas
79

Had a second cup, just as good as the 1st until my puppy stuck her nose rudely into my cup when I turned to answer the phone.

Honeybush Apricot from Adagio Teas
79

Sweet, but not too sweet and the apricot is actually present in the taste.

Strawberry from Adagio Teas
77

Trying to figure out why this came out bitter today. Used boiling water and steeped for 3 minutes like I always do. I’m thinking it has something to do with my cranky Monday mood.

Gyokuro Imperial from Teavana

Ginger Orange Peach from New Mexico Tea Company

Organic Darjeeling from California Tea House

Gyokuro from Adagio Teas

Coconut Dream from New Mexico Tea Company
75

There are no artificial tasting coconut flavors in this tea. This was the perfect complement to the huge breakfast I had this morning.

Black Dragon Pearls from Adagio Teas
75

Earthy and dark. Full bodied and almost chocolaty. I was surprised to like this since I don’t always go for teas this dark. Neat to watch the pearls unfurl.

Kyoto Cherry Sencha from New Mexico Tea Company
75

Softly green with rose strong in the nose and mouthfeel. Have to be in the right mood to drink a tea a rose flavor, but when I’m in that mood, it is lovely. Very pretty looking tea with the rose petals.

Silver Needles from TeaSource
75

Different from other Silver Needle teas I’ve had. This one was ever so slightly grassy and not as sweet as others. Enjoyed two steeping with the 2nd one bringing out a surprising similarity to gunpowder green without the the green taste.

Genmaicha Extra Green from Den's Tea
91
Cacao Mint Black from Teavana
75

My mom, who is not a tea drinker, came over for dinner and I prepared this for dessert. It was my first time trying this. It is very yummy and makes a great after dinner treat. Not a strong tea taste but the chocolate and mint are quite prominent which I liked.

Lapsang Souchong from California Tea House

Was very nervous to try a Lapsang Souchong for the 1st time. Wasn’t completely turned off but I haven’t quite figured this tea out. I feel like a campfire is now invading my senses.

Vanilla Bean from Mighty Leaf Tea
45

Tried this again and it still doesn’t grab me like I want it to.

Green Tea Tropical from Mighty Leaf Tea
60
Ginger Orange Peach from New Mexico Tea Company
75

This is such a lovely, comforting tea. I feel a cold coming on and this is just what I needed to relax with.

Vanilla Bean from Mighty Leaf Tea
45

Not quite sure about this yet. Wasn’t bad but I didn’t taste much vanilla, sadly.

Strawberry from Adagio Teas
77
Monk's Grenadine Blend from New Mexico Tea Company
78
Yunnan Gold from Adagio Teas
77

Tried this for the 1st time this morning. Liking it a lot! Slightly malty with hints of pepper.

Orange Dulce from Mighty Leaf Tea
75

Why haven’t I tried this before?! A great flavored black tea!
