25 Tasting Notes

Tulsi Organcis (assorted) from The Tao of Tea (Tulsi Organics)
88

Love this tea! I have been drinking the pure tulsi and also the tulsi with ginger. Love them both! Tulsi is also referred to as “holy basil”, and is revered for its calming properties. After three cups of this, I was super relaxed, almost to the point of being under the influence. Anyway, I really enjoy the taste of the tulsi ginger; a very mild ginger taste to compliment the more savory taste of the tulsi. So glad I picked this box up on a whim!

Mango Ceylon with Vanilla from Choice Organic Teas
86

This was actually very good! (And I am not a mango fan, thanks to too much mango vodka one night. Whoops!) Anyway, the mango flavor itself is very mild. The vanilla adds a nice sweetness while the smooth ceylon balances it out. Tasty!

Peppermint Bark Tea from Perennial Tea Room
86

This is winter in a cup! The bold peppermint is mellowed by the sweet vanilla; all evened out by a great black tea. A great cup to keep you warm while you stroll through the snow… (Also, I tried uploading a picture of the tea, but it wasn’t working. To see a picture, the Perennial Tea Room has a nice website.)

Spiced Pear from Perennial Tea Room
88

Mmmmm, mild pear notes with a hint of cinnamon combined with a smooth black tea. A very nice cup on this cold winter evening…..

Licorice Fix from Remedy Teas
60

I drank a cup of this on the way to work yesterday. I was expecting a big bang of licorice flavor, but was slightly disappointed. Yes, it has a nice, mild licorice spice mix with a nice sweet after taste, but I can find a stronger licorice taste in the Stash Licorice Spice tea. (I absolutely love licorice, if you couldn’t tell) I think I will use a higher tea to water ratio next time….

House Chai from Remedy Teas
85

Not as spicy and bold as some other chai teas I have had, but still good. I actually prefer my chai’s on the milder side. I sweetened it a bit and added a dash of milk; perfect cup for a sunny, winter afternoon…

Fire and Ice from Remedy Teas
84

Having my first cup of this herbal, fruity concoction. I find it quite tangy. It reminds me a bit of Evening in Missoula with a kick! I would tend to drink this in the morning as a wake up cuppa. Overall, not too bad…

Holiday Spiced Plum from The Republic of Tea
28

Hmmmm. So I found this unopened canister of holiday tea in my cupboard and decided to give it a go. I am not a green tea fan, but I thought that since it is blended with cinnamon and plum what could go wrong? Well, I must say there isn’t much to brag about this tea. The aroma is fairly sweet with the green tea coming through at the end. The taste, however, is quite different. Very weak! No body, whatsoever. I didn’t even use that much water and I left the bag in the entire time. I get a slight hint of bitter plum at the end but that is all! Not sure if I will be finishing this tea….

Sleepytime Extra Wellness Tea from Celestial Seasonings
93

This is my go to tea at night. I enjoy the valerian root in it and the chamomile flavor is great! I usually steep two bags for a stronger effect so I can have a good nights rest….

Orange Blossom Hibiscus Infusion from Lipton
86

A nice, mild orange flavor; goes well with the hibiscus. It can become a bit bitter if the bag is left in for too long.

Sweet Thai Delight from Yogi Tea
87

A very mild chocolate taste due to the carob in it. A nice cup during the day for a sweet fix!

Pumpkin Spice from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Liquorice Peppermint from Choice Organic Teas
87

I hadn’t had this tea for a couple of years and I forgot how much I enjoyed it! I love the coolness of the peppermint combined with the bit of sweet liquorice. It reminds me of the vanilla spice tea by Long Life Teas, (one that I cannot find anywhere!) This tasty organic will definitely be my next tea purchase….

Black Cherry Berry from Celestial Seasonings
Organic Chamomile from Stash Tea Company
88

I love this tea! (tisane) It has a very nice, full, and balanced chamomile flavor. A good way to heat up in the cold months…

Tazo Rest Herbal Infusion from Tazo
86

A bit more rosy than I remember, but still a nice cup in the evening to relax the body and mind. The lemon notes add a nice touch, too.

pumpkin masala chai from An Afternoon to Remember
95

This is a great tea for those looking for a pumpkin flavored tea without all the spice. It makes a wonderful dessert tea with a bit of sugar and milk. I picked this little gem up at the Northwest Tea Festival…

Bedtime Blend from Twinings of London
92

This is a great way to calm yourself down at night before tucking in. It soothes the mind and relaxes the body. Good flavor, not too much lemongrass.

African Red Bush from Tazo
97

This is my absolute favorite red bush tea! I love the tangy after taste and the aroma is divine! I stock up on it whenever I can….

Rooibos Red Bush Tea from Choice Organic Teas
43

Not one of my favorites. It smelled sweeter than it tasted, and I prefer a sweeter rooibos. Luckily it was part of a sample pack I picked up and I don’t have a whole box left over in my pantry.

Cinnamon Apple Chamomile from Stash Tea Company
100

This is my go-to autumn tea. I love it! I am a huge fan of chamomile and the cinnamon, apple and hibiscus compliment it well.

Lady Grey from Twinings
87

I am not a huge fan of earl grey, but this feminine version is fantastic! The citrus notes are lovely, no bitter tastes at all. I drink this in the summer to cool me off!

Classic Breakfast Tea from St. Dalfour
99

This is one of my favorite black teas. Very smooth, needs no milk or sugar. A perfect way to start the day!

Organic Peppermint from Traditional Medicinals
77

For anyone who likes peppermint, this tea is for you! Wow! It sure does pack a punch! I like to have a cup of this when I am not feeling too well. It puts my tummy at ease and soothes my throat…
