72 Tasting Notes

Wild Blueberry (Fair Trade Certified) from The Republic of Tea

Honeybush Vanilla from Teavana

Smooth, delicious, and always relaxing.

Double Bergamot Earl Grey from Stash Tea Company

Pomberry Green Tea from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
77

Brewed iced with half this and half Pomegranate Green Tea from Republic of Tea…delicious. This tea tends to be heavier and more fruity, while the Republic of Tea tends to be a little lighter. They worked well together to create a refreshing and pink iced tea perfect for a random 70 degree day.

Madagascar Vanilla Red from Celestial Seasonings

Rose Marzipan Delight from Teavana

I did this one wrong- it could have been so light and delicate if I’d only steeped it half as long. Steeping too long brings out the black tea too much and destroys the nut flavors and sweetness.

Earl Grey Creme from Market Spice Tea
86

Without sugar, the Creme of this still is enough to take away the acidity that can ruin Earl Grey on a bad day. Mmmmm.

Madagascar Vanilla Red from Celestial Seasonings
87

By far my favorite Celestial Seasonings tea, and the only to have gone so quickly in our house. The Vanilla is firmly present, but not at all as overwhelming as in other red vanilla teas. This is my go-to tea whenever I need to unwind.

Double Bergamot Earl Grey from Stash Tea Company
83

This tea is definitely best if brewed less than I did today, but still amazingly good. It definitely gets pretty bitter if brewed too long, though, but still one of my favorites.

Market Spice Tea from Market Spice
77

More cinnamon than my taste, but so naturally sweet and refreshing. A perfect autumn tea.

Earl Grey Creme from Market Spice Tea
86

This tea is not as good brewing right after boiling, and definitely should only use 1 tsp of sugar. Not so good this time, but still amazing

Earl Grey Creme from Market Spice Tea
86

Absolutely delicious with a little sugar. One of my all time favorites…now I need to get my housemate to go to Seattle more often.

Masala Chai from Teavana
75

Say what I may about Teavana’s customer service, their Masala Chai is good staple.

Honeybush Vanilla from Teavana
86

I actually really like this. It’s more light and vanilla-y than my usual vanilla red tea, and would be good blended with something…but what…

Fruta Bomba from Teavana
59

Not the best. It’s better iced though, I’m sure.

Double Bergamot Earl Grey from Stash Tea Company
83

Delicious delicious delicious. How can I express how amazing this tea is? The double bergamot oil takes this from a regular earl grey to one of my favorite teas of all time. It’s a great after-dinner tea.

Orange Blossom from The Republic of Tea
75

Mixed it with Pomegranate Green Superfruit Tea, and it was also highly delicious. I brewed it (3:2) for an iced tea, which turned out nice, but honestly would’ve been better (2:3) instead.

I am learning though- this was a good example of using different tastes that don’t clash and ensuring each is a different type of tea. If the Pomegranate had also been white, it’d have been a very confusing tea (and if the Orange had been green, it’d have been far too heavy).

Blackberry Sage from The Republic of Tea
75

Mixed it with Wild Maine Blueberry also from the republic of tea, and brewed iced tea with it (3:2). Delicious…really delicious. I would make it again for sure

MateVana from Teavana
87

Mixed it with Masala Chai (2 mate : 1 chai) and it was delicious. Probably would be better with 1 mate: 2 chai…

Ginger Bread Cookie from Teavana
25

I’m biased for not being a huge cinnamon fan, bu I definitely could not taste anything beyond the cinnamon in this.

Mate Lemon Blast from Teavana
