132 Tasting Notes

Moroccan Mint from Teavana
67

Clean, crisp and minty…I like to drink this when I have a cold or a sore throat, it’s very soothing.

Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls with Rooibos Tropica from Teavana
77
Rooibos Tropica from Teavana
71

This tea is pleasingly sweet and fruity and blends very well with jasmine pearls.

MateVana from Teavana
51

TeaEqualsBliss hit this on the head for me when she said “Chocolatey-cigar type” that’s exactly what it reminds me of and it does have a slight milky/creamy taste to it. Not my cup of tea, but the quality seems to be good so if this taste strikes your fancy then this would probably be good to try out.

Vanilla Rooibos Parfait from Tazo
97

This is a rooibos that I will actually drink alone (usually I’ll blend rooibos with another tea). Very smooth tasting to me; I actually need to go get a tin for my desk!

White Summer Rain from Art of Tea
77

This is a very odd flavor combo to me…but not in a bad way, it just caught me off guard! The tea is light and the jasmine is in the background on this tea, which I figured would be the star of this tea, but no the cantaloupe is! Very refreshing, good tea!

Caramelized Pear from Art of Tea
76

Normally this type of tea isn’t my cup of tea, but I decided to try it simply because it sounded yummy and it tastes just like a caramelized pear, point blank! The pear is sweet and juicy tasting with a hint of tartness as it slides down the back of my tongue. Kudos to the Art of Tea for blending a great tea with great flavor and balance!

White Coconut Creme from Art of Tea
90

This is creamy and smooth; I tried this iced and it was amazing! Tastes like a delicate white tea mixed with coconut milk, very yummy and I will be ordering some soon since summer is right around the corner!

Rose Marzipan Delight from Teavana
59

This tea has a very strong rose taste with background notes of marzipan. The black tea is smooth and not bitter. However the rose is overwhelming to me, perhaps just too much for my taste… I would have liked more of a marzipan taste with a hint of rose, but to each their own! If you like rose this is a plus for you, I actually have about 1.5oz of this tea left that I am looking to swap with someone if they’re interested.

Precious White Peach from Teavana
86

This tea is very smooth and light tasting. When I open the bag the peach scent smacks me in my nose, but it’s nowhere near that strong once steeped. The white tea is delicate and the peach is more of an accent, very nice and comforting tea, but be careful about the water temp. and how long you steep it or it will become very bitter!

Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls from Teavana
100

This is my ALL TIME favorite tea! I have tried other jasmine pearls but none ever compared the ones I get at Teavana. They are loud with the jasmine flavor which is ok by me (the more the better) and the green tea is very smooth, as if silk is gliding over my tongue. The other thing I love about this tea is that it blends well with other fruit teas…can it get any bettet than this?!

Lady Grey from Twinings
82

This is a very pleasent bagged tea for me and it is not like most “Earl Grey” teas. This tea is much more lighter in taste and has a nice floral note to accompany the bergamot and other citrusy notes. I add a bit of sugar to mine and it really makes the flavors pop! Also, you can steep this tea and forget about it and still come back to a great cup of tea. It is my go to at work tea!

Profile

Bio

I am a tea enthusiast who is always looking to try a new tea, but my all time favorite is jasmine pearls…or anything with jasmine in it really. I also am a sushi fanatic and simply can’t live without it. Outside of my fanatasy world of all things tea and sushi I am an executive assistant, mother of 2 and personal taxi/maid and chef service for my little family.

But back to the tea!

I love Jasmine Pearls, just about any White Tea and then we have Pu-erh coming in last as my top three.

However, I still enjoy a good Earl Grey tea, the more bergamot the better! I have a fond place in my heart for Matcha, especially iced Matcha Lattes. Flavored green teas are always fun, but I tend to stay away from the overly grassy tasting ones… they always remind me of a wheatgrass shot!

It takes a special black tea to really win me over, for me I find that they all taste too much alike or tend to be too bitter at times; I think I am more so bored with them.

Oolongs are fairly new to me and I am finding that these are really good and they will probably end up making it as one of my top contenders!

Pu-erh I have yet to try; I am very curious, but a bit scared to try it… something about being aged in a cave just frightens me a bit, but I would like to try one in the very near future :-) Update – I have tried a few pu-erhs and I can’t get enough of them! While they are definitely an acquired taste they are lovely! This has now taken over rooibos in my top 3 teas of choice!
