76 Tasting Notes

Fengqing Ancient Tree Spring Chun Jian Raw Pu-erh Cake Tea 2012 from Teavivre
87

This is my favourite Puerh I’ve tried so far. It’s not fishy at all and it tastes a little sweet.

Ripened Aged Pu-erh Tea from Teavivre
71
Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea from Teavivre
79

I brewed this gong fu style according to the directions on Teavivre’s website. I enjoyed it a lot, it’s not bitter and a little chocolaty. I find it similar to Laoshan Black by Verdant.

Organic Silver Needle White Tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) from Teavivre
79
Coconut Grove from DAVIDsTEA
91

I thought this tea would be my less favorite of the summer collection, but I’m surprised of how much I like it. I just bought a lot of it because it seems to help me get better when I’m feeling down. I don’t know what it is about this tea that is so amazing but I love it and I am very sad that it isn’t part of the permanent collection.

Mango Fruit Punch from DAVIDsTEA
79
Pink Passionfruit from DAVIDsTEA
79
Mint Julep from DAVIDsTEA
65

When I first drank this tea, it reminded me of toothpaste. It’s very minty and I find it hard to pick up the other flavours. I prefer it as an iced tea.

Tropicalia from DAVIDsTEA
91

I love this tea. It’s fruity with a little bit of coconut. The balance is perfect.

Ceylon Spring from DAVIDsTEA
87
Kokomo Green from DAVIDsTEA
60
Hand Picked Autumn Tieguanyin (2011) from Verdant Tea
Shui Jin Gui Wuyi Oolong from Verdant Tea
Genmaicha Extra Green from Den's Tea
87

I love genmaïcha. This one is very tasty, but I feel like the added matcha doesn’t add as much flavour as I was expecting. I’d have to compare it side by side with a “normal” genmaïcha. Still, I like it a lot and it has a balanced flavour between the green tea and the toasted rice.

Autumn Laoshan Green from Verdant Tea
87

This is a very unusual green tea for me because i’m used to ones with a very vegetal taste. This one has a more earthy taste with notes of chocolate.

Yunnan White Jasmine from Verdant Tea

I’m not sure if I like jasmine tea so i’m not rating this one for now.

Peach & Passion Fruit from S Sens
60

This herbal smells delicious but all I can taste is hibiscus..

Houjicha Gold (Roasted Bancha) from Den's Tea
65
Buttered Rum (organic) from DAVIDsTEA
80

I’m not a big drinker of dessert teas. My sister gave me some of this tea and I like it.

Sencha Fuka-midori from Den's Tea
95

I brewed this tea following Den’s tea instructions (2 grams of tea in 3 oz water for 1 min) and it was just perfect. It’s a really sweet green tea with no bitterness at all. It was very flavourful and I enjoyed it a lot.

I also tried brewing it using 2 grams of tea in 6 oz water and it was still sweet and delicious but not as flavourful.

Laoshan Black from Verdant Tea
95

Wow this is so good! Not a hint of bitterness and it smells a lot like chocolate.

Second Flush Darjeeling from DAVIDsTEA
86

This is a very easy to drink black tea. It’s not too bitter and it has a lot of flavour. I’m curious to compare it to first flush darjeeling.

Cranberry Pear from DAVIDsTEA
86

I tried this tea iced at my Davidstea store and it was very good. The fruit flavours aren’t very strong but the black tea base is tasty.

Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEA
78

This is the first tea I got from Davidstea a long time ago. It has a very unique flavour. The pumpkin is quite strong, but it’s still natural and there is a hint of spices. I would like it to taste a little more sweet but I haven’t got the chance to try it with agave. I think it would bring out a pumpkin pie flavour. I got a little tired of this tea after a while and gave it to a coworker.
