355 Tasting Notes

Yunnan Gold from Adagio Teas
75

This was the tea that began my love of Yunnans. I love the earthy, peppery flavor of this, though that’s not a flavor profile I typically care for. I really want to try their Yunnan Jig to see the differences between them.

Mangosteen Green with Matcha from Stash Tea Company
97
East Friesian Broken Blend from SpecialTeas
75
Spearmint from Adagio Teas
81
Mangosteen Green with Matcha from Stash Tea Company
97

Pretty good for a bagged tea. Perfect balance of green tea and sweet fruit flavor. And you can taste the matcha at the end!

White Peony from Adagio Teas
77

I want to start drinking more white tea for spring and summer. This is a nice, gentle sweet one.

Earl Grey de la Creme from SpecialTeas
97

I’m so glad I waited to order more of this – it was SpecialTeas’ special today. Got a 1/4 pound for $4.17. Win!

Sweet Apple Chamomile from Celestial Seasonings
78

From last night. I used to LOVE this tea before I started drinking loose leaf almost exclusively.. now it tasted a bit dull. I wish I could find a loose leaf apple chamomile blend.

Jasmine #5 from Adagio Teas
77

I went through a big jasmine kick a few weeks ago and was drinking this stuff like crazy. It’s still delicious. Not too strong, not too light. Calming and reminds me of spring.

Assam Harmutty GFBOP (S) from SpecialTeas
66

I forgot to bring tea this morning and this is one of the two bags left in my work stash. Sadness.

Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
95
Foxtrot from Adagio Teas
67
Organic Mint Melange from Mighty Leaf Tea
75

Smelled a lot stronger and minty than it tasted, unfortunately.

Green Tea Tropical from Mighty Leaf Tea
82

I got in this in an ML variety pack and fell in LOVE with it, but haven’t gotten around to buying more. Was so glad to see it.

Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
66

Luckily the event was at a hotel that had tons of Mighty Leaf bags out, so..

China Keemun Special Grade from SpecialTeas
74

Started the day off with this; needed a strong black because I was up for work at 7:30 on a Sunday.. bleh..

Earl Grey de la Creme from SpecialTeas
97
Coconut Pouchong from Adagio Teas
86

From yesterday afternoon. This is what flavored tea should taste like: the sip is pure green oolong, but the gulp is fresh, young coconut. Sweet without overwhelming the tea flavor. Great.

Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
95
Earl Grey de la Creme from SpecialTeas
97
Cloud 9 Rooibos from Teavana
67

One of the first teas I really loved (even though I typically loathe Teavana’s blends). An afternoon pick-me-up that’s sorely needed.

Rooibos Lemon Chiffon from SpecialTeas
81
Madagascar Vanilla Sunday Blend from SpecialTeas
67
Caramel from Adagio Teas
80

Profile

Bio

I’m (almost) always up for a trade, so comment on a tasting note if you’re interested. I try to keep my cupboard up to date.

I’m a 23 year-old grant writer who loves having a good strong tea by my side as I write. I love The Mountain Goats, cooking, the Steelers, writing, beer, and singing in my office band.
