13 Tasting Notes

DAVIDsTEA Noble Glass Travel Thermos from Teaware
84

I love it. It’s eye-catching. It’s so cool. It’s gorgeous.

Now, on to practicalities:

Pros:
- I love drinking from this. The other day someone came into my office and said, “I love that you’re drinking from a jar!” I loved the feeling of drinking from a jar. You should try it. It’s so much better than those spouts they put in travel mugs left and right.
- Double glass is where it’s at. It’s warm but not too warm.
- I like that it looks like a test tube, and I like seeing my tea.
- Did I say that it’s gorgeous? That too.

Cons:
- I have the one with the bamboo lid, and as a previous reviewer stated, it came with splinters, and it splintered more with use. This bothered me. Eventually, I went to my guy, who is an artist, for help. He pulled out his artist tools and painted the lid all over with this clear stuff (resin?), which made the lid look less fancy and natural but prevented any future bits of bamboo from impaling my hands. I’ve had no problems since. And my hands are splinter-free.
- The cap is hard to clean, though.
- I don’t often use the strainer. I think I might have lost it. Does losing something count as a con?

Decaf Vanilla from Adagio Teas
Golden Monkey from Adagio Teas

Another Steepster called this a peppery tea, and I’m going to borrow that description. It was good, and (yes) peppery.

Kava Stress Relief from Yogi Tea
75

Smooth, with a hint of cinnamon and nuttiness. It actually does relieve feelings of stress – without putting you to sleep. Nice.

Mambo from Adagio Teas
84

It’s mellow, smoky, and perfect for fall.

Rooibos Vanilla from Adagio Teas
75
Autumn Magic from Adagio Teas
75

… drinking a mix of Adagio’s pumpkin spice, gingerbread, and caramel teas. This one is very sweet!

Keemun Encore from Adagio Teas
93

Woody, with what another taster described as a little briskness. I agree! Tasty.

Black Dragon Pearls from Adagio Teas
100

Loved it! Earthy, with a hint of chocolate taste at the end. It was also fun to watch the pearls unfold (I used 4 for a good-sized mug of tea).

Chamomile from Adagio Teas
75
Cream from Adagio Teas
75

Another favorite. Good to mix with others.

Best Ilam Tea from Nepal Mountain Tea Traders
75

Family member visited Nepal and brought this back. It’s tasty! I’m still learning how to describe exactly what type of tasty it is, but it has a bit of sharpness, not unlike Earl Grey.

Assam Melody from Adagio Teas
100

This is one of my all-time favorites. I sometimes add cardamom.

I like to drink tea. And read books. And make objects out of yarn, but that’s another story.
