6 Tasting Notes

Bangkok Blend from Harney & Sons
Mandarin Jasmine Pearls from Market Spice Tea
90

This is my latest favorite green tea to drink at work. The flavor is fairly mellow, and the jasmine isn’t particularly noticeable, but the delicate aroma of mandarin oranges is both relaxing and intoxicating. It’s difficult to over-brew, and it’s usually good for at least 2 steeps.

Gen Mai Cha Toasted Rice Green from Numi Organic Tea
80

I drink this all the time at work. Its mellow, nutty flavor reminds me of the green tea served at my favorite sushi restaurant.

Fairy Lily from Primula Tea
55

Beautiful bloom; Mediocre green tea. Tastes like their Camellia Joy.

Camellia Joy from Primula Tea

I love watching blooming teas, but I have yet to find one that tastes great. This was no exception. It’s a mediocre green tea with hints of jasmine and chrysanthemum flavor. At least it was pretty.

Dragon Pearl Jasmine from Harney & Sons
95

This tea is one of my absolute favorites. In my quest for the perfect/affordable jasmine tea, this one comes rather close. (I buy it loose by the pound, on clearance, which means that it’s a tiny bit older than they’re “comfortable” selling at retail prices. It still tastes awesome, so I’m over it.) Good both hot and iced. Sometimes I oversteep, but tiny bit of stevia takes care of any minimal bitterness.
