1451 Tasting Notes

Cinnamon Plum from Rishi Tea
87

I keep cold brewing this tea. It is great! I just add cold water and let it sit in my fridge for 4-12 hours then remove the blend. Delicious and spicy at the same time! It isn’t bitter either. I am afraid to try this hot, but I may try a little of it before I run out of this delicious tea!

Today I added the cold tea to my strawberry smoothie. :) YUM!

The Mermaid's Kiss from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

Organic Yunan Gold from LeafSpa Organic Tea
67

I received this in a swap. I can’t remember who sent this to me, but I managed to get several steeps from this! Thank you! It has the typical metallic, light, peppery taste to it. I like this black tea since I don’t need to have any additives in this. It tastes good with or without milk or sugar. This is a nice, light tea.

chai bora Luxury Blend from chai bora ltd

I can’t believe I haven’t written a log on this one. I think its because I am so used to consuming this on a regular basis that I forgot to write about it. This is one of my staples. Any Chai Bora is a staple. I need to have it at all times in my cupboard. This tea is great with sugar and/or milk. I’ve made it with spices like cardamom. I love this tea. It gets bitter if its in the hot water for too long, but I must say that this is the tea that got me into teas!

Strawberry Island from iHeartTeas
71

This is a delicious tea! I love the dominant strawberry cream flavor with the hints of coconut and vanilla. This is a nice tropical dessert tea. Love it! It is tropical but not bitter! :)

Muscat from Lupicia
St Petersburg from Kusmi Tea

Lychee (Lichee) Oolong from Lupicia
Marco Polo from Mariage Frères
97

So, I FINALLY have a weekend off! I had been working 18 days straight, then I had a weekend conference in Maryland… and finally this weekend came rolling around. I felt like I haven’t had a chance to relax and breathe. Now is the chance. I came home and opened my tea cupboard. :)

I received a sample of this in a swap. I’m sorry I forgot who gave this to me. Who was it? Thank you so much! This tea is absolutely delicious. I had no expectations since I didn’t know much about this tea. I only knew that it was a black tea that had a fruity and floral scent to it. I only am reading the description now. On my tongue, it is slightly sweet and tasted very much like strawberries. I LOVE STRAWBERRIES! This is so good. There is mild astringency, but with sugar it nearly went away. I would imagine this is good in milk. I bet this would taste like strawberry milk!

Faux Cocoa from SerendipiTea
98

I received this in a swap. I forgot from who though :( I need to write it down on the tea containers, who I had swapped with. Any how, THANK YOU!!! This tea… ehem.. tisane… is absolutely amazing. It smells like cocoa and creamy. I love the large bits of spices mixed in this blend. So pretty and so real!

I am still sick.. ugh! But I could really taste the flavor. I could have drank this alone without any additives, since it is sweet and creamy. However, the flavors and creaminess really stood out once I added a little brown sugar and milk. The yogurt bits definitely helped, and each of the flavors stood out. I was getting caramel, cocoa, cloves, creamy, cardamom notes from this. I could tell there was no black tea in this blend as there wasn’t another strong taste to counter these spices. Overall, this is a wonderful, caffeine-free blend. Absolutely delicious!

Moroccan Mist from Argo Tea

Winter Frost from iHeartTeas
Piccolo from Lupicia
70

This is a nice tea. I have been sick for the past few days now, so my sense of smell is bad. But this is nice and fruity. Soothing and not bitter and not tart

Decaf Crème Caramel from Stash Tea Company
15

Meh. Bitter. This isn’t an exciting beverage. I didn’t wanna add any additives, so it may have tasted good without it. I don’t know why I’m not a big Stash tea fan.

East of Rift Kenyan Kambaa Tea from Culinary Teas
99
Lavender Lemon Mint from Teaism
96

I finished this up last night with my husband. It is so refreshing and tasty. I love this tea. And it also soothes the throat. My husband’s sick with a cold, so this seemed to help :)

Mango Mate from Adagio Teas
57
Rooibos Zanzibar Spice from The Zen Shop
91
Decaf Earl Grey from Adagio Teas
95

I finished this off last night! FINALLY! It has been so long. I think I bought a HUGE amount of this, and it took me so long to finish it. It is a great tea, especially when I don’t steep it for very long.

Mango Mate from Adagio Teas
57

I tried this as my morning beverage. It doesn’t taste really like mango… it tastes more like bananas… It is just okay.

Tie Guan Yin “Iron Goddess” Oolong Tea (Ti Kuan Yin) from Teavivre
96

I tried this today. MAN do I love this oolong! I love the cute green packaging. I wish I could read it. When I opened it, I saw curled up, bright green oolong balls. It brewed a light yellow color. I love the floral scent and taste to this tea. There is a mix of vegetal, green, floral, and sweet taste to this tea. Delicious!!
