193 Tasting Notes

Vanilla Comoro from Harney & Sons
96

Have to place another Harney order soon and a pound of this will definitely be on that order! Drinking a cup of this to unwind, one kid in bed another soon will be! Then one more work day for the week. Also exciting plans this weekend, I am taking two of my friends to the local loose tea shop for their first time! They started getting into it and want to go buy some more! Woohoo and I will never pass up a trip to the tea store!!!!

Decaf Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons
81

Had a cup of this after getting home from work tonight. Had a good second full time day but I am tired!!!! It is a hard adjustment going back full time after working for the past year and a half a very reduced part time. But I love my job and am thankful for it! Just have to get used to getting my butt moving earlier in the morning and working a full day.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Black Tea from 52teas
97

This tea is SUPER yummy! I am so sad I can not get my hands on more!!!! Tasted the chocolate and oh so yummy peanut butter!!! I love this stuff! Going to set it up in the Breville tonight on auto start so it is ready for me again tomorrow morning :)
Forgot to say I added a touch of rock sugar to this.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Black Tea from 52teas
97

In the Breville steeping now for on the way out to work for day #2! Can’t wait to taste this tea the anticipation is killing me… the smell in the pouch is amazing. Almost made me want to eat it LOL. I will post a rating and review later :)

Apricot Cheesecake Flavored Black Tea from 52teas
92

I decided on this cup to take for my first full time day in my new position… (the current business manager is still there to show me the ropes HOWEVER she was sick today) I was glad to have a good tea to get me through my morning of flying solo on my first fulltime day! I rocked it! :) Bring on tomorrow!

Samurai Chai Mate & White Ayurvedic Chai Blend from Teavana
89

Had a great day shopping at the mall with my husband and lunch at Olive Garden! Enjoyed a cup of this while shopping. Super yummy!

Chocolate Strawberry Temptation from Talbott Teas

I want to like this tea more than I actually do. I read the other tasting notes and tried making it again and doubled the amount of leaf. It was better than the first time I made it, but I was still disappointed in this one. I had just purchased a Chocolate Strawberry at my local tea shop (I am not sure who makes it) that was very good, but I was expecting this one to be even better-it was not. I will not be purchasing this one again :( I really like there Luscious lemon meringue tea though and the caramel sundae one is not bad either. So I guess two out of three isnt bad.

Chocolate Strawberry Temptation from Talbott Teas
Chocolate Mint Flavored Black Tea from 52teas
86

Made a pot of this to share with my dinner guests to go with dessert… after our new year’s day meal of pork and saurkraut. Hopefully the mint helps soothe the tummy’s after the saurkraut we ate !

Princess Blend from 52teas
97

Tried this iced at Frank’s recommendation and it is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Neapolitan Honeybush from 52teas
87

Tasting strawberry, chocolate and a touch of vanilla with creamy notes to it all. This is good but think this would be even better iced!

Candy Cane from 52teas

This is not really as minty as I thought it would be. It is of course as always with 52Teas a good black tea, but I am just not getting any mint? The candy canes in the tea are super cute!

Apricot Cheesecake Flavored Black Tea from 52teas
92

This was my breakfast this am! What a great way to start my day! This is a smooth taste, great apricot flavor with hints of cheesecake. Yum yum…. if I didn’t want to sleep tonight I would go enjoy another cup right now. But unfortunately I need to sleep, haven’t figured out how not too yet ;)

Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons
95

This tea is all I want to drink for the past two weeks. I am not sure why but I am enjoying it so much that it is all I want to drink. (I have been drinking others but secretly lusting after this tea :)
Does this happen to anyone else?

Caramel Sundae Escape from Talbott Teas
84

Caramel and cocoa…. this tea is yummy! Not my favorite dessert tea but definitely one I will enjoy again.

Cranberry Autumn from Harney & Sons
83

Had another cup of this with my mom this morning… stopped at her house after going to the grocery store (realized we were out of dog food for the furry kids!)

Princess Blend from 52teas
97

Santa left this tea in our 3 year olds stocking… so she wanted to make some today. Her words after tasting…“I like this one!” We had a half a pot of this between us while playing with Polly Pockets. (oh the little pieces are going to drive me nutty!!!)
This is right on with the bubble gum taste, not one I would drink on a regular basis but great for my daughter! (She would probably drink this one daily and the strawberry pie is her other favorite.)

Gingerbread Chai from 52teas
98

I know I know I am a day late but better late than never right?! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Our day as you can imagine with a 3 year old and a 1 year old was CrAzY! The past two days have been a bit of a whirlwind! I did open the sample pack on Christmas morning but then got sidetracked and never got to make it and then we were off to my in laws the remainder of the day. So I am enjoying this today in anticipation of the a Big snowstorm that is supposed to hit us this afternoon (i think). This is nicely spiced and I can taste the gingerbread…yummy! I added a little rock sugar and that complimented this cup nicely! Now off to the grocery store for bread, eggs and milk LOL!

Adding this in- my kitchen smells absolutely wonderful after making this tea!!!! I am bumping up the rating on this tea because I am wanting more and am going to try resteeping. But I am wishing I had more in my sampler. Might have to place an order for this one.

Luscious Lemon Meringue from Talbott Teas
86

My first Talbott Tea ever! My order arrived yesterday (Merry Christmas to me :) and I saved it to try today! This is the first one I picked… I am typically not a rooibos fan but have been broadening my tea cupboard to include a few. I am enjoying this… nice lemon flavor and the vanilla gives the meringue taste! Refreshing and relaxing! The relaxing is just what I need too after having my side over today for Christmas… I am exhausted! The kids are crazy hyper too!

Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast Flavored Black Tea from 52teas

I am not going to rate this tea because I absolutely hate raisins and I feel I can not give this tea a fair rating due to the raisins. This was part of the 12 Teas of Christmas Sampler I am glad I had the chance to try a small amount of it and think it would be great for someone who likes cinnamon raisin toast.

Strawberry Zabaglione from 52teas
97

Smells wonderful…. tastes even better! I am in LOVE!

Vanilla Comoro from Harney & Sons
96

LOVE this tea!! I received my order in three days… amazingly fast! I love the vanilla in this tea, tastes like REAL vanilla not the imitation vanilla like some wanna be vanilla teas! And this is DECAF!!! Completely unbelievable! I just ordered a tin of 20 sachets and am already contemplating just ordering the pound of loose tea :) I will definitely be going through this tin quickly! I think this tea is going to be a new “constant” in my tea cupboard!

Decaf Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons

Cranberry Autumn from Harney & Sons
83

I am now wishing I would have added this to my last Harney order (I just placed the other day) I will have to add this to the next one! I am emjoying the cranberry taste! My mom had ordered this one and I swiped some of it while at her house :)
On a side note I am making cranberry sausage for supper tonight with mashed potatoes and to stay in the “cranberry theme” I made a cup of this and mixed it in with the mashed potatoes…. DELICIOUS!

Profile

Bio

Always been a tea drinker but just recently experienced loose leaf teas. LOVE LOVE LOVE actually trying new teas and it has become a bit of an obsession :) I like all types of tea, but I am not a fan of rooibos.
I am mommy to two little princesses who are also starting to love tea….(3 year old and 1 year old-thus my need for caffeine! although they get the non or very low caffeinated teas) And my husband will kill me soon if he keeps getting to the UPS boxes and mail before I do LOL I will have to start shipping it to my work!
