127 Tasting Notes

China Lung Ching from TeaGschwendner
69

[AKA Dragon Well] ~ Very difficult to prepare (@ 158) so I can’t be sure it came out right, light and fluffy but very little to distinguish it, but what do you want for seaweed?

Japan Genmaicha from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
69

I only bought enough for a sample but it was a great experience. It smells wonderful, with a decent pan-fried taste.

Le Touareg from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
69

Fascinating, but unfortunately I had a bad reaction to all that mint.

Golden Jade from Teavana
58

BLEH. Worthless. Exactly why I never want to spend money here.

Organic Ancient Snow Sprout from Great Lakes Tea and Spice
90

Masterful and elegant, a rapturous experience. This tea made me fall in love with Great Lakes Tea and Spice Co.

Finest Jasmine Pearls from By The Pound
78

Utterly mind blowing aroma. Whoa… crisp. One of the cutest, most drinkable teas.

Kokeicha from By The Pound
61
Toasted Kukicha from TeaGschwendner

Emperor's Clouds and Mist from Teavana
69

Strong enough to be a Japnese green but subtle enough to be a Chinese. For some reason they want you to brew it at 175? I’m getting the impression that TeaVana think all their teas are so delicate they need to be brewed cool. It’s simply not true.

Decaf Sencha from Harney & Sons
69

Does look and taste very like sencha, but with far less particulates and caffeine.

Vanilla Mint Sencha from Maya Tea Company
69

All but identical to TeaHaus’s Strawberry Mint Lavender, but not quite as sweet

Pomegranate Mojito from Maya Tea Company
61

Not much flavor or aroma but drinkable. I guess it was supposed to be designed to be Iced Tea?

Organic Chun Mee from By The Pound
69

By far the most beautiful looking tea of all time—truly deserving of the name “precious eyebrows”. Despite the enormous price difference, TeaHaus’s is better.

Ginger Peach Decaf from The Republic of Tea
58

Supposed to be a black but it was burnt when brewed that way.

Jasmine Tea from Frontier Natural Products Co-op
50
Gunpowder Green from Frontier Natural Products Co-op
69
Organic China Wuyuan Jasmine from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
78
Kukicha Twig Tea from Frontier Natural Products Co-op
61

Sweet and smooth. I really enjoyed the woody texture, though I’ve definitely had better Kukicha.
