11 Tasting Notes

Himalayan Splendor from Teavana
45

First time I tried this was plain and hot. It was a little too bitter for me. I’ve since made it as ice tea with splenda. It makes a good iced tea, but again for the price I’ll probably find something else.

Golden Imperial Lotus from Teavana
56

Drinking this tea for the first time this morning. It’s good, but not sure if it is worth the price. Will finish what I bought, not sure I would buy it again.

2011 Darjeeling First Flush Jungpana Black Tea from DarjeelingTeaXpress
96

190 F, 3:30. Very good. One of my favorite teas that I’ve tried. Naturally sweet and just very good.

Gyokuro Imperial from Teavana
91

Very good. Could be a go to Green for me. It’s a little pricey so I might try to find something a little less expensive. 4 tsps for 4 cups. 175 – 30 seconds. Smooth nothing bitter.

Moroccan Mint from The Tea Table
67

Made this as iced tea. Used about 15tsp to make 3cups and diluted to 3qts. Excellent tasting tea. Smooth taste with a nice spearmint after taste.

Green Cherry Tea from The Tea Table
63

Made this as iced tea. 3cups of water with about 20 teaspoons of tea. Diluted to make 3qts of iced tea. Very good, naturally sweet. Cherry flavor is definitely there but not over powering. Definitely a staple in the iced tea department.

Natural Keemun Panda from The Tea Table
56

First try was unsweetened and was good but a little bitter. Second attempt added a little bit of splenda and it was much better. Nothing about it really stands out though.

Samurai Chai Mate & White Ayurvedic Chai Blend from Teavana
67

Tried this at the Teavana store today and loved it. Picked up a couple ounces of each tea to take home and sample. Really enjoying it.

Monkey-Picked Ti Kuan Yin Oolong Tea from The Tea Table
85

Amazing tea. Pleasing aroma, light taste, not bitter at all. A little sweet naturally but just the right amount. Will become a regular tea for me.

Apples and Cinnamon from Marktfrau Premium Teas
Caramel Apple Tea from The Tea Table
42

It was an ok tea. No real taste of apple that i could determine. Very little hint of caramel as well. After adding some sweetener it was ok. Probably won’t purchase again.
