16 Tasting Notes

Chocolate Bananas Foster from Teavana
35

After drinking several more flavors since this one, I’m going to say that I don’t really like this one quite as much as the first time I had it.

Cranberry Blood Orange (Fair Trade Certified) from The Republic of Tea
89

I am in love with this black tea. Steeped for strong & added stevia. Maybe it’s because I love blood orange juice so much and there is just the right amount of it in this tea. I bought this as a loose leaf tea in the bulk section at Central Market (HEB) and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve been drinking Mates in the morning but will be switching back to the tried and true blacks I think! Can’t wait to try it iced!

Mango Maté Pu-erh Punch Maté Tea from Teavana
70

This seems to be my go to on-the-go tea. However, the taste lingers in my Breville One Touch and my hubby complains it “contaminates” the flavor of his black iced tea. So, I will have to begin steeping this one by the glass to avoid ruining his tea. :)

Foxtrot from Adagio Teas
74

I got this one last Fall and keep forgetting I have it. Drank some last Saturday and am still dreaming about it. It’s so soothing and really makes me relax. Almost reminds me of a mild chai.. it’s simply unique.

Acai Matetini Mate Tea from Teavana
80

I loved this so much I restocked my pantry when it was gone. This tea has successfully become my go to morning caffeine fix. I always sweeten with a packet of stevia. The berries and citrus notes are perfect. Yum!

Sweet Asian Pear White Tea from Teavana
50

Tried this one yesterday without any stevia. I think it would have been better with some sweetness as I found it a bit bland without it. But bland is good sometimes. :) I’ll try it again soon with stevia and perhaps even iced and see if I can improve my opinion of this tea.

Mango Maté Pu-erh Punch Maté Tea from Teavana
70

Just steeped this one for the first time today and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I don’t care for curry at all so I was concerned I would not like it. However, I couldn’t taste the curry one bit. I have gulped one glass down and now working on my second. Mate’s are my favorite since I gave up energy drinks about a month ago. The caffeine helps in the morning!

Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate from Teavana
89

Great all day long. I slurped this one and could really get the aroma and taste of the raspberries. It was still great cooled to room temp. One spoon of rock sugar was used in the water boiling process in the Breville. Yummy.

Tranquil Dream (Night Night) from Teavana
90
STRAWBERRY ROSE CHAMPAGNE/PEACH TRANQUILITY TEA BLEND from Teavana
66

Free drink at Teavana with coupon. I had it iced with one scoop rock sugar and gulped it down. Very refreshing.

Weight To Go! from Teavana
68

Picked this up today with a few other items. Brewed it as iced tea and sweetened with one packet of stevia. Really enjoyed the strawberry mint iced tea flavor. I’ll make again and try hot next time. :)

Six Summits from Teavana
Breville One Touch Tea Maker from Teaware
99

The best machine ever! I’ve used it daily for 3 months. If it broke tomorrow, I would run out and get another one!!

Queen of Babylon from Teavana
87

One of my favorite flavored teas to take with me to work and allow it to be sipped on all day in my insulated travel mug. I envision a crisp iced tea with this too but haven’t tried that yet. As the weather warms up I plan to try it.

Chocolate Bananas Foster from Teavana
35

This is my first dessert tea purchase. I had just had a slice of pizza at the mall and was craving something to cleanse the garlic out of my mouth.. like a dessert. I ventured over to Teavana and looked around and the sales person showed me the new teas. I was intrigued by the chocolate tea – something I would normally not be interested in.. but I wanted dessert!

So, I had her make me a glass (she put 2 tsp of rock sugar in it) and took it back to my office. Yum! Now granted, I have nothing to compare this to but my first glass was great. I did not buy any loose but will go back and get some possibly next week. I really think this tea could keep my hands out of the cookie jar after dinner! :)

Strawberry Lemonade Herbal Tea from Teavana

This tea is now 75% off at my Teavana in Dallas, Texas. I haven’t tried it yet but for you all that love it, thought I would let you know it’s on sale. The Teavana Specialist suggested it as an iced tea which many of you suggested and have tried.

Profile

Bio

I love tea, running, boxing and photography. In November of 2012, I visited a tea shop in Denton, Texas called Amitea and met the nicest shop owner. She educated me on fine teas and the appropriate temps and times to brew tea. I was astonished that I didn’t know that tea could taste even better than what I had been making. In 2013, I set out to learn and enjoy more tea!
