1483 Tasting Notes

White Tea Pomegranate from Tea of Life
67

I am so surprised! For some reason, I thought it would have hibiscus and bleed red. There was no hint of that at all. It was a purely white tea with some flavorings! Delicious! Nice and light with the hint of fruitiness from the pomegranate.

Yorkshire Tea from Taylors of Harrogate
74

Happy I drank this today. I used the Western method and cut up fresh pieces of ginger and steeped my husband’s cup first so he gets the most caffeine (in my mind haha). Then I steeped my cup for a short time. Delicious with sugar!

Thomas Sampson from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
76

My husband and I finished this sample up! This is a good basic Assam. I love Assam teas because they are blendable! Great tea. I love how it doesn’t get too bitter.

Chai 100% Organic & Fair Trade Certified Tea from Twinings
85

This tea is heavenly! I received this as a sample in the mail. Perhaps its also because I haven’t had black tea in ages, but this one is just mMmm delicious! I love the real scent of spices in this little bag. There is nothing artificial to the smell or taste! It was a nice, mild but spicy enough beverage. The black tea base is perfect. I added some sugar and milk to it, and it was wonderful. Such a great tea for a cold day.

Caramel Apple Honeybush from 52teas
78

I can’t believe I haven’t logged this yet. I have definitely drank this herbal beverage several times though. It has a very strong scent to it. Very apple, caramel and something pungent. Steeped, it was a nice auburn color. The scent and taste wasn’t pungent at all. It was a lovely, light caramel apple. I was surprised at how accurate it tasted! It almost got me craving an caramel covered apple! Delicious!

Strawberry Matcha from Red Leaf Tea

So I ordered from Red Leaf Tea when they had the sale! Wow! First, they shipped out so fast! Second, this matcha is so tasty! Finally, I haven’t touched matcha in years! My matcha utensils have been gathering dust, so I was excited to bust them out today.

I am approaching 12 weeks this Sunday! woo! I am cheating and having some caffeine! I read that I could have less than 150 mg/day of caffeine… or about one cup of coffee per day. I absolutely love strawberry and have been having bouts of cravings for strawberry. This was perfect. I sifted 2 bamboo scoops full of this matcha. The scent was like strawberry ice cream… not sorbet. I whisked as best as I could. What I got was a nice murky green with a bit of froth. Absolutely divine! I love the taste. The strawberry flavor was subdued, which was good. The matcha didn’t have any astringency, and it went down my throat smoothly. Delicious! I am a fan! I can’t wait to try the other matcha flavors (caramel, almond, amaretto) that I bought!

Pina Colada Honeybush from 52teas
98

I needed some sort of warm beverage today and opted for this. I was fondly looking through my tea cupboard and wishing for the day I can drink it again. But surprisingly, I haven’t been tempted or even been thinking about tea. I hope these next few months go by without any hiccups or problems :) This tea was nice and tropical. It takes me back to warmer months.

Ying Ming Yunnan Tea from Culinary Teas
67

Wow my husband must have really loved this tea! I like Yunnans. I don’t know if I’ve reviewed this tea, but this was a nice warm and toasty tea. I haven’t had it in a very long time since I’m preggo and am trying to avoid caffeine as much as possible. I was looking fondly through my tea when I noticed this empty tin!

Tanzania Organic Tea from Culinary Teas
100

We finished this up today. SIGH I love this tea! I love anything Tanzanian. I put this on my shopping list! So delicious for the morning!

Strawberry & Vanilla from Lupicia
100

I was craving strawberry ice cream for about a week now! I wasn’t able to get any either! So today, I whipped this up in my work mug. As my husband was driving me to work, I took a sip of this. OMG HEAVEN!! I was so giddy with excitement because I was having the strawberry ice cream I had been craving! Woo! This is absolutely delicious and hit the right spot. The amount of green tea matcha in it is perfect. Absolutely amazingly delicious!

Lichee Congou Emperor Tea from Culinary Teas
100

I love this tea! I am trying to reduce my caffeine intake to one cup of tea per day. It is hard, but I need to do it for the time being. This was a good choice. :) I’m glad I am still able to have most of my tisanes.

Premium Keemun Hao Ya Black Tea from Teavivre
69

I finally made this tea without having it make me feel so jittery! Great tea! I might purchase this in the future. It is the right kind of smokey. I am not always a fan of smoky when it is excessive, so this is perfect. Go Teavivre!

Sakurambo Vert from Lupicia
62

When I opened this sample up, I wasn’t sure what this was going to taste like. It was fruity! In fact, when I brewed this up, this tasted like bubble gum! I only drank about 4 ounces of this tea when I started to feel jittery again. So strange. I only drank the Keemun this morning and this Sakuramba for lunch. I think I need to reduce my caffeine intake. Anyhow, this tea is okay. I wasn’t a huge fan of the flavor.

Premium Keemun Hao Ya Black Tea from Teavivre
69

Wowzers! This actually made me jittery this morning! No tea has done that for me… at least not in a very long time! This is great for the mornings since I need that caffeine eye opener! I love this malty tea.

Sencha "Matsuri" from Lupicia
73

This is a pretty good tea. I haven’t had a solid bright green tea in a while. This made me happy today. I love when the color of the tea is bright green. This tastes great! It is sweet and thick. There is no astringency to this as well.

Yamabudo (Mountain Grape) from Lupicia
64

As much as I don’t like grape flavored anything, this tea is actually fairly good. It tastes exactly like grape soda!

Happy New Year - Bai Mu Dan from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
81
Summer Passion from Adagio Teas
89

I had a cup of this tea this morning. I don’t think it is strong enough for a morning tea, but it was decent. I like the fruity notes.

White Ayurvedic Chai from Teavana
53

I saw this sitting on my parent’s shelf. I know they haven’t drank tea in a long time since they bought a Kuerig, so I decided to claim this one as my own! This is a fairly decent tea, but I don’t like the aftertaste. It isn’t the best. I am not sure what it is. Maybe the spices overpower the white tea too much. Perhaps I will like this tea more down the road.

Thank you Teavivre for this sample! It was hiding away in my cupboard! I have drank this twice already. This is a great tea. It has a nice, warm, subtly smoky, nutty and toasty flavor to it. It is a smooth tea that brews an amber color. It is bold and perfect for the morning cup. I’ve had it two mornings in a row now. I added some sugar and some milk to keep me going for a little longer.

This is a very delicious tea! I love Keemun teas, especially when I’m in the mood for them around this cooler time of year. Go Keemun!!
