140 Tasting Notes

Lime in the Coconut from California Tea House
84

I’m listening to the wind and snow trapping me in my house for at least one more day, so I decided to try this one to cheer me up a bit :)

Its pretty good. Its a bit expensive, but I think this might be a fav flavored green tea. Its just very light all around. The lime, coconut, and the green tea play very nicely together. I’m impressed.

Blueberry Syrup from California Tea House
82

Went outside checked the mail, and (yah!) one of my many orders come in. . . Got a sample of this and wasn’t sure about it hot. . .but as it cools, it just gets better and better. The blueberries and grapes combine together nicely for a fantstic sweet ice tea (and I don’t add any kind of sweetners to my teas) .

I"ll have to remember this one for spring/summer.

Summer Breeze from SpecialTeas
74

Pleasantly surprised to see that I had a couple bags of SpecialTeas in my cupboard this morning. Thought I had taken it all to work. . .Yeah!!!

Upping my rating on this one, not sure if it was the way I prepared it last time, but this one is hitting the spot this morning. . . . . .I’m tasting more of the berries in this one and the tartness really isn’t as overwhelming as it was last time. . .Pretty good.

Comfort and Joy from The Republic of Tea

All I have to say is. . .I’m glad this was a free sample from the catalog. . . .

I Love Lemon from Bigelow
40

So I’m stuck working at home today b/c of the winter storm blowing thru my area. . . and I forgot all of my good tea at work! The sadness and tears!! Plus, I’m stuck working from home with a moody 5 year old and a crazy 14 mo old. . . Ugh!

So this one is ok. It’ll get me thru the morning. Nothing fantastic. Just eh. . . .It works when you are in a pinch.

Peppermint Bark from Tea for All Reasons

Getting ready for the massive snow storm coming my way. . . . Thought this tea sounded good on a cold soon to be snowy and icey day. . . . . Ugh!

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica from Adagio Teas
34

Huge fan of the office so of course I had to try. . .This one is different. . .I have a feeling its better iced. Its a very tart tea with the ‘berry blast’ & raspberry patch. They completely overwhelm the lemongrass. There is on a hint of it. Prolly not one I’d get again. Wish you could buy the custom blends off of Adagio in smaller portions. Oh well. I’ll save it for the summertime and ice it.

Lemon Soleil from Adagio Teas
50

Eh, This one is ok. Not great. Not awful. Just dececnt. The lemon is def there but it does have a bite to it. Glad I only got a small sample size of it.

Cantaloupe Bai Mu Dan from 52teas
100

Doing my tea happy dance right now. Love this one. Getting funny looks from my co-workers. . But I think I get those anyway. Almost end of the work day! Yeah!

Strawberry Zabaglione from 52teas

YUMMM!!!! Delish! Tho I’m tasting more of a black tea than the strawberries and other goodness that I should be. Need to re-adjust my Trinitea on this one I think. But yummers!!! Perfect for that first morning cup at the office!

Cantaloupe Bai Mu Dan from 52teas

2nd infusion- just as fantastic! I’m officially hooked!

Can we go ahead and just move this blend to the permanent collection?

Please oh Please oh Please??

Cantaloupe Bai Mu Dan from 52teas

Thanks Frank!!!!!

China Pu Erh Tuo Cha  (Birds Nest) from SpecialTeas
17

Um yeah, this one isn’t to use a really bad cliche here- “my cup o tea”. The smell alone has me crinckling my nose. Very very earthy smelling. I have a feeling that I’ll be sending this one to a friend later today. . . .

Magic Moon from Joy's Teaspoon
93

YUM YUM YUM!!! Very very good. Just a nice tea for everyday drinking. The black and green teas mingle nicely with the slight hint of fruit.

Thanks Joy’s Teaspoon for the sample!

PINEAPPLE PIZZAZZ from SpecialTeas

Key Lime Pie from Sands Of Thyme
100

YUM!!!! Almost tastes kinda like dare I say it. . . . . .Key Lime style cheesecake. So good! Perfect about of fruit with a great black tea holding it up. Very delish. Exactly the kind of tea I was looking for to help my 3pm sweet tooth cravings. Will be a new definite in my tea cupboard.

Peppermint Bark from Tea for All Reasons
100

All I have to say is YUM! This tea is perfect! Love it!!! It has the right amount of black tea, peppermint, and a hint of vanilla. HMMM. Yum! So sad its the last batch they had. But I’m sure there are others from them that I could try.
