33 Tasting Notes

White Peach from Adagio Teas
77

Better than I expected because I’ve been disappointed by Adagio’s peach flavoring in the past.

Gunpowder from Adagio Teas
34

Bleh. I don’t like the smoke smell. I don’t think gunpowder is for me. If I want roasty, I’ll drink some Genmaicha.

Genmaicha Japan 655 from SpecialTeas
80

There’s something really comforting about Genmaicha. It’s one of those ones that I always want to have in stock, although I’m going to have to find a new one after this runs out since SpecialTeas went belly up. This was a good, reliable Genmaicha and forgiving when I felt like I got the water temp all wrong.

English Breakfast Tea from Trader Joe's
67

This is good for when I’m running late and don’t have time to go looseleaf. With Milk and honey, it’s noms.

Pomegranate White Tea from Trader Joe's
43

I wanted to like this, but it really didn’t cut it for me. Too…tangy? I tried adding it to an iced blend and it didn’t help, so I gave it away to a friend who’s a bigger fan of bagged tea and pomegranates than I am.

Tochiotome Green from Lupicia
75

I made a ton of this yesterday and then iced it and added a little Christmas Berry honey from http://royalhawaiianhoney.com/ . It was pretty good but I didn’t get much of the strawberry flavor. Next time I’ll steep it hotter—I have a feeling that will help.

Genmaicha Green Tea Bags from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Hoku from Lupicia
100

This tea is the best. It used to only be available in Hawaii, but now it’s on the website. The candied pineapple bits are what give it that awesome scent and flavor. I made 32oz. of this last week and brought it to work and people who aren’t normally tea drinkers said that it was amazing and asked how they could get their hands on more. LOVE. THIS. TEA.

Apricot Green from Adagio Teas
94

This is one of my favorite Adagio Teas—enough so that I plan to keep rebuying after I run out. Both the green and the fruit flavors come through nicely. I haven’t tried it iced yet, but it’s probably delicious.

I have too much tea. Hopefully the incentive of posting will make me drink more often so I can clean out my stash…AND THEN I CAN BUY MORE!
