16 Tasting Notes

Earl Grey from The Tea Nation
68

I’m a fan of Earl Grey tea. I didn’t use to be. But after trying Earl Grey from Tazo, I was hooked. I found this brand of Earl Grey, and was pleasantly happy with it. Now, it’s not Tazo, but it is good. It’s a black tea, so I can drink it in the morning, and all day long, for a little pick-me-up. Enjoyable.

Sweet Coconut Thai Chai from Celestial Seasonings
74

I haven’t been a big fan of Celestial Seasonings because I have often thought that it seems to be more of a lower class, less-than-tea tea. However, after tasting this tea, I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a Rooibos, Black Tea combo with other flavors. Sweet, with a hint of spice. Excellent with a small spoonful of honey.

Toasted Nut Brulee Oolong from Teavana
100

Teavana is one of the teas I love to drink with absolutely nothing added. It is delicious. This particular tea is excellent. I tried this tea this Saturday at my sister-in-laws house and fell in love (with the tea). I got my sis-in-law hooked on tea and now I can go to her house, when we as a family visit, and try the different kinds of teas she has.

Didn’t used to be an earl grey fan. I tried it a while ago with Stash. I didn’t care for it then so I shelved it. I tried it again fairly recently and it quickly became one of my favorite. I tried an earl grey latte from Tazo and love it. One of my favorites.

Vanilla Rooibos Parfait from Tazo
100

First tried this as a latte from Starbucks. I was instantly hooked. I love it. Went to Starbucks recently and bought a vanilla rooibos tin for my wife. I am converting her to becoming a tea snob with me.

Earl Grey from Stash Tea Company
80

wasn’t really a big fan of earl grey tea, but lately it has become one of my favorite. what star trek character enjoyed a cup of earl grey tea, hot?

Chai Green from Stash Tea Company

Good tea. I like the greenness of it and the chai of it. It is a great blend of the two.

Passion from Tazo
68

Whoa, this herbal tea is strong. It has a good flavor, very crisp and clean. Leaves a great after taste. But boy is it strong. My advice is to stir between sips so that you keep the flavor moving throughout the tea and not settling at the bottom. Also, a little bit of honey is great.

Lotus from Tazo
67

Not typically a green tea fan, it lacks the caffeine. However, I must say I enjoy this tea and its flavor. I am a big Tazo fan, so maybe that is clouding my true perception of it, but it is a very simple and refreshing flavor.

Tazo Chai from Tazo
75

Tea like this makes one realize why one drinks tea in the first place. I have tried chai flavors in coffees and latte’s, but they pale in comparison to the flavor that is delivered by this tea. Tazo knows tea and does tea with a passion and to perfection.

I realized after awhile of sitting on this note that Tazo Chai has black pepper in it. When I let this tea sit for too long I can really taste it. Maybe I steeped it too long or the water was too hot. But, phew, it was strong after awhile.

Almond Biscotti from Teavana

I’m not a big fan at all of coffee named after food. Typically it is too bitter and over flavored and the coffee isn’t as noticeable. So, I was a little leery at trying a tea named after a food. Was I surprised. It is flavorful, aromatic, very satisfying. I am hooked. I still won’t drink coffee with the same name though :-)

Chai Spice from Stash Tea Company

I absolutely love this tea. I have only really been a tea drinker for about three months (a youngling, I know), so I need some help from some of the veterans on this site to help me know what is the best tea to drink. I love this new realm of taste that I have been exposed to and look forward to trying as many teas as I am capable of.

Awake- Filterbag from Tazo

This is the first tea that I drank that got me hooked on tea. I bought it at a Starbucks, for more than I should have paid for it, and was instantly surprised. Great taste, good mixture of milk and sugar (though I prefer honey). I loved it. Although I still like a good cup of coffee (preferably Starbucks) I am a tea guy now!

Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
75

Got this as a gift for my birthday. Hadn’t ever tried it before, and was very pleasantly surprised at the experience. I am having a hard time thinking about going back to mundane teas that I have had in the past. Great cup of tea.

Samurai Chai Mate from Teavana

Very flavorful with no bitter aftertaste. The caffeine is potent enough for a former coffee drinker. Great tea.

Profile

Bio

I have been a coffee drinker most of my life. Only recently have I turned to tea. I have to admit I didn’t realize the world I was missing. I still love coffee, but tea provides a whole new dimension for me. I look forward to reading what others have to say about their favorites.
