451 Tasting Notes

Momoko from Lupicia
87

Thanks Alphakitty! The aroma of this is so sweet! There is a nice peach flavor with a few floral notes. I’m always happy when I can taste the tea base under the flavors. The green tea has a bit of a buttery-slash-vegetal flavors going on. This was perfect to start my morning with! Thank you again!

organic chamomile with lavender from Traditional Medicinals
92

The flavor of this is magical. I love that I can taste both flavors equally. The sweetness of the lavender compliments the apple/floral of the chamomile. It’s perfect. And now I’m off to sleep! Sweet dreams Steepster!!

French 75 from Ovation Teas - Custom Blend
100

So I’m pretty sure this is the tea that was sent to me..
ANYWAYS thank you Alphakitty! This tea is actually pretty unique. It’s also very pretty. I have never tasted another one like it. It’s sweet but still has something I can’t put my finger on. The green tea base is nice and I feel like it adds a bit of vegetal sweetness to it. I can catch hints of the orange and lemon flavors. I’m not sure what juniper berries taste like but I’m sure they’re adding to the sweetness :] I reeaallly enjoyed this tea. Thanks again!

Boo-Berry Cotton Candy from 52teas
96

Thanks Alphakitty! I was excited to get this one. It smells SO good. And it tastes even better :) the cotton candy flavor is there but it’s not overpowering. The blueberry is there but to me the cotton candy is more the dominated flavor. I’m really happy I got a chance to try this. It’s such a fun tea! Thanks again!!

French Blend from New Mexico Tea Company
83

Thank you Alphakitty! This is such a pretty tea! I never, ever have luck with black and green blends. Their either too bitter or too weak. Sadly, this came out as too bitter. The aroma is lovely, though. The flavor is still very floral. The one I taste the most is rose followed by lavender. But it’s still bitter :( it would have been amazing if I didn’t ruin it.

Vanilla Cream from Green Hill Tea
96

Thanks ToiToi! The aroma of this tea is like a freshly baked vanilla cup cake. Brewed it smells like short bread cookies and black tea. Which by the way is the PERFECT snack. The vanilla is actually pretty strong. Most vanilla teas I’ve tried are weak in flavor. This is the best one I’ve tried yet. It’s creamy, smooth, and now I’m craving the short bread cookies on my kitchen table and I can’t have them :( (I’m in a hotel in the middle of Idaho…) Thanks again!!

Cherry Marzipan from Tea Forte
83

Thank you Alphakitty! I was excited to try this tea. The aroma of this tea is heavenly. I love the flavors. I can catch some cherry, berry, and almond flavors. It reminds me of a cherry/almond cookie. Mmmm :) thanks again!

Peach Apricot from Green Hill Tea
69

Thank you ToiToi! This one smells delicious. Lovely fruit notes. Mostly peach. Once it’s brewed the apricot aroma starts to come out. It came out a bit bitter but it is still good. Has a nice fruity flavor. The bitterness goes away and the peach really comes out as it cools.
Also… Yay for my 300th tasting note :D

Chocolate Banana from The Persimmon Tree Tea Company
97

Thank you Alphakitty! I think rooibos was an excellent choice as the base. It works well with the other flavors. I’m catching light notes of chocolate and banana. It’s not super strong in both flavors but it’s just enough to make it delicious. It makes me think of banana creamies. It’s sweet and has a lovely creamy note to it. I really enjoyed this blend :) thanks again!

Dragonwell from Love Teas
81

Finished this sample off this morning! Still good, but not my favorite.

Caramelized Pear from Art of Tea
98

Finished off this sample! Still as delicious as I remember.

Organic White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) Tea from Teavivre
92

Woke up to this lovely cup today. I love my Breville. :) I haven’t had a good white tea for a while so I thought I’d make this today. This tea has a natural sweetness about it. It’s very delicate tasting and I can catch little fruity, floral notes. Maybe it’s time to place a Teavivre order!

Castleton Autumnal TGFOP1 from Mahamosa Gourmet Teas, Spices & Herbs
83

I think I’m getting used to the flavors of this tea. And I like it. I used a little less leaf and got a wonderful sweetness out of it. It still has that astringency to it but not as much this time. There is a bit of a floral note to it, too.. thanks again, Momo!

Emperor's Clouds and Mist from Teavana
92

Woke up to this wonderful tea. The flavor is very crisp and fresh. I’m getting a nice, light vegetal note that has a bit of sweetness to it. Mmm :)

Blueberry Tea from Bentley's
92

I received a big Bentley’s sampler cube for Christmas and I decided to go with blueberry. The black tea base is actually pretty smooth and sweet. The blueberry adds a nice fruity touch to it and it is very natural tasting. No fake flavors here :) It’s not too strong but you can definitely tell that It’s there.

Van Wezel Anniversa-Tea from Local Coffee and Tea
83

Thanks to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me a very generous sample of this a while ago. Still a delicious rooibos in my book with the sweet berry flavor.

Autumn Leaves from Della Terra Teas
96

Finished my sample of this today! It was a much needed comfort tea. I still love the maple flavor with the rooibos. The flavors fit well together.

Black Dragon Pearls from The Tea Grotto
100

I have been craving bold black teas lately. This one is perfect! The dark chocolate notes are pretty tasty and I’ve gotten a few steeps out of the leaves.

Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEA
100

Finished off my tin of this. It was amazing. Now I have an excuse for another order :P

English Toffee Matcha from Red Leaf Tea
92

I could have sworn I did a review for this.. anyways… It smells delicious. I can’t seem to slap my craving for something sweet in the face. I also haven’t had matcha in FOREVER.
This is very satisfying. It’s creamy and has that buttery flavor of toffee. It’s very smooth and sweet. Mmm :)

Ripe For Romance from Adagio Teas
83

I’m having a lovely mug of this. I forgot I had it and was craving something sweet. I love the aroma I’m getting from this. It’s just like smashed red raspberries. So sweet. I’m not getting too much chocolate flavor but I can catch hints of a dark chocolate-like flavor. It blends well. mmmmmmmm

A Tisket A Tasket from Adagio Teas
87

I took too long of a nap.. now I have a little bit of a headache. Drinking this to lift my little spirit :)

Cancer - The Zodiac Series - 2012 from Adagio Teas
100

Mmm I love the fruity flavors of this tea. It really hit the spot!

Florida Orange Rooibos from EnjoyingTea.com
83

My friend ordered the rooibos sampler and gave me at least two cups of each. So thank you friend :) brewing this one up made my kitchen smell like oranges. It has a very natural Orange flavor to it. The orange works really well with the rooibos.

Profile

Bio

I love camping, longboarding, listening to and making music, hiking, yoga, cooking, the color blue, The Beatles, and of course the wonderful world of tea!
My journey with tea started about a year and a half ago. Since then I’ve learned a lot and that my favorites include oolongs, pu-erhs, and silver needle. I love a good dessert tea but I have found recently that I’m craving pure teas more and more! I look forward to learning a lot more from my fellow Steepsters :]
