37 Tasting Notes

Starry Night from Art of Tea
85

Not a mind boggling cup, but a nice warm vanilla tea. Very good flavor balance.

Orchid Oolong from Art of Tea
82

Love the light floral note. I don’t get any bitterness from this cup at all.

White Coconut Creme from Art of Tea
88

Yum- a good coconut flavor along with a toasted (caramel?) after note.

Banana Dulce from Art of Tea

I’m not rating this, because I have mixed feelings about chamomile. With that said, this is one of the best teas I’ve ever had with chamomile. It is very yummy and banana-y.

Japanese Cherry from Art of Tea

Maybe the tea settled into different component layers… my first cup wasn’t good.

Blueberry Superfruit from Stash Tea Company
64

Very good for Stash, I thought. Hibiscus wasn’t overpowering, only a light note. Tasted enough like blueberries for me.

Timmy's 1Up Jasmine Green from ThinkGeek
61
Black Joy from Remedy Teas
78

A nice spice profile. Very different blend from say, a Chai.

Chamomile Citrus from Mighty Leaf Tea

I don’t really think chamomile is for me. But it came in a variety pack, so what are you gonna do?

Ginger Pear Oolong from Remedy Teas
43

I’m not a huge fan of ginger teas, but figured I’d give it a sip. Very ginger-y. I don’t really taste anything besides that. Still not a fan of ginger teas.

Green Tea Tropical from Mighty Leaf Tea
66

This was one of my first Mighty Leaf teas, and I really like it. Strong green tea flavor with a hint of fruit.

Chocolate Mint Truffle from Mighty Leaf Tea
54

No chocolate… but if you like mint tea, not a bad cup.

Blackberry Sage from The Republic of Tea
71

It’s not a strong flavored tea either in blackberry or sage, but I like it.

Maple Tea from Metropolitan Tea Company

Fairly smooth and buttery. A little dry on the back of the throat, but not a bad bagged tea.

Golden Monkey from Adagio Teas
69

For some reason, I have great luck with black teas with the word “golden” in them. A good everyday tea, not mind boggling… but sometimes I don’t need to be boggled.

Orange Blossom from Tazo
34

I really don’t know how I feel about this one. And I’m sipping it right now. My first reaction was- blech! This is the 2nd revived tazo I’ve tried, and I’m not sure they improved on their original formula. I’ve gotten more used to the taste, but that taste is not orange. Lemongrass maybe? I probably won’t buy it at a starbucks again.

Orange Krush from Remedy Teas
88

Such a good green tea. It really does taste like orange krush. None of the grassy, bitter notes you can get with a inferior tea. This is all oranges and cream.

Ti Kuan Yin from Adagio Teas
73

Not too heavy or too light. A slightly (but not too) grassy cup. Buttery and full-bodied. I love this tea.

Rhubarb Green from Adagio Teas
66

Something about this tea is indeed “creamy” With a faint hint of yummy rhubarb bitterness.

Strawberry from Adagio Teas
56

A bit “dry” on the palate. It still delivers a nice strawberry flavor to accent the black tea.

Vanilla Rooibos Parfait from Tazo
16

Picking up a very synthetic flavor. The tea is almost sweetened. The flavoring totally overpowers the rooibos taste.

Chocolate Chai from Adagio Teas
68

Firstly, this tea smells wonderful out of the tin. When brewed, I do not get a ton of chocolate flavor, mostly cinnamon and clove. (I think). The spice taste could be a little stronger, but it is a very drinkable tea.

Passion from Tazo
19

This tea does get bitter rather quickly. It is sweet, with a very strong bitter note. Not to my liking.

Sunset Oolong from Numi Organic Tea
64

Light and slightly earthy.
