4 Tasting Notes

Earl Grey from Twinings
66

I actually think even the bagged Earl Grey is quite okay. Or it could be because I had the Tazo version earlier and it made me cringe. But for some reason I like this with not boiling water. Perhaps I just have a really weird tongue.

Lady Grey from Twinings
76

I don’t really like light black teas, but this wins me over. Even the bag version is still fragrant and good. Of course, I will try the loose tea version soon.

Matcha (Powdered) from Mighty Leaf Tea
55

I like tea like this, but I think it’s rather tedious to make. Like any powder + water combination, there are always chunks that are left. Probably because I don’t have the right equipment for it; Perhaps I will like it better when I do. Flavor is nice, and it’s nice to be able to mix this into other things, like yogurt.

English Breakfast from Twinings
42

I don’t know if it’s my tastebuds or something else, but this is rather too light for me. Not bland, per se, but really faint. I’ve added near boiling hot water, or just hot water one would normally get from a coffee machine, but it’s sort of weak. Perhaps I’m not preparing it right.
