This is a good solid oolong. This oolong leans towards the vegetal flavors of a green tea with very light smokiness. The tea has a nice astringency which would be good for clearing your palette between meal courses. It stands up to multiple steeps. I like this one without a sweetener.

Hmm this is good. I taste hints of honey, floral, and something buttery. The brewed smell is floral and lightly of honey. This is a very nice smooth tea that is perfect plain or with a light sweetening.

This is a good Alishan. Slight vegetal smell with a sweet floral taste. Don’t go beyond 4 minutes especially for the first infusion as it gets bitter. I found subsequent steeps were sweeter then the first which had less astringency.

This makes a nice sweet ice tea too :) Important when you live somewhere hot like me.

This is a very nice black tea. The dry leaves are long needles with a nice smokey aroma. It steeps to a copper/brown color. The brewed smell is a soft floral-peach aroma with hints of smoke. It has a mild classic black tea taste with mild astringency. It takes good with or without milk and sugar.

This is a very yummy breakfast tea.

This is a great tea. I know I know, some of you are going to drink this and think “tastes like black tea. So what.” But there is something wonderful to me about the hints of vanilla and honeysuckle in this smooth smooth black tea that I just love!

I like it with and without milk and I like just a pinch of truvia to enhance the vanilla/caramel flavor. This is my new favorite. I just love to smell it! Yummmmm.

This is a really lovely Darjeeling. It is very smooth with notes of peach, honey, and cashew with just a hint of a malty-assam sort-of taste. It is light and smooth and tastes good with or without some sweetening.

It is a great afternoon pick-me up at that time of day around 3:30 when I just want to take a nap.

This is a really gooooood tea. The spice and sweet flavors are very balanced with the black tea. I like it as a chai with milk and a lite sweetening. It really is a nice treat anytime of the day or evening.

I purchased this as a sample because I was interested in it as it was described as new and it is very popular in Japan. I think it tastes great. It smells sweet and nutty. It has a wonderful light taste with notes of fruit, cashews, and honey. I really like this tea and will be buying more.
As far as the claims that it has a high GABA content which has a calming effect. I am not sure yet if I feel calmer after drinking it. I’ll have to drink more before making a determination.

Aaah nothing like a comforting cuppa gunpowder green tea. Tastes wonderfully comforting and familiar like my favorite well-worn jeans. I received Adagio’s gunpowder in a green tea sampler. I love to watch the pellets unfold as it steeps. Nice balance between astringency and buttery flavors.

I received the green tea sampler from Adagio. I really like this one. At first it wasn’t my favorite. Then I tried it with a little lower water temp, and a little longer steep time and it was the tea I kept coming back to. It has a nice light taste that reminds me of the smell of fresh cut hay. The sample I received had nice full leaves and stood up to multiple steeps.

This is missnamed I think. It tasted to me like Hot Tomales. You know the firey red candies. (These are in the USA not sure if they sell Hot Tomales in other countries.) When I drank it expecting Hot Tomales, which I like, then this tea tasted much better. When I first drank it expecting Chocolate Chai, I was dissapointed. I didn’t taste much of the chocolate. Seemed like I tasted a lot of ginger, almond, and pepper which is like well… Hot Tomales.

I also liked this with milk as more of a latte then plain and I liked it with sweetener. I use Truvia. While I enjoy the novelty of this chai, it isn’t one of my favorites.

This is a wonderful smooth and delicious tea. The smell is what hits you when you open the bag. It smells like fresh coconut and undertones of black tea. It stands up to 5 or more steeps which I love. I can start one in the morning and by evening it is a light brew not too strong and perfect for bedtime, but still with some nice flavor left.

I like to dring this tea while eating dark chocolate. It is like eating a mounds bar without all the sugar. This is a really wonderful tea.
