111 Tasting Notes

Acai and Goji Berry from Whittard of Chelsea
75

A pretty good fruit infusion that lifts you up. I especially like the tangy taste.
I’ll have to try it it cold next time, I bet it makes a great iced tea for those scorching summer days.

Mélange de Galice from THE O DOR
75

I got a sample of this tea from T (thank you again!). What can I say that she hasn’t said already? Almost nothing, so I’ll just say that I loved the peach and that I agree that it is lovely tea for cold winter days (and damn it, it is COLD here tonight!).
On a side note: my mother’s comment: “It’s too sweet”. Yeah, I’m still baffled by that too… maybe the peach?

Pomegranate Delight from Teekanne
66

Well, that’s the last one of my tea bags of Pomegranate Delight. I wasn’t that impressed when I first tasted it, but somehow this tea grew on me. I like the fact that it’s mild, so I can drink it even late at night when I’m tired and feeling cold.

Pede um Desejo from Empório do Chá
73
Chai from Teapigs
62

Let me start this by saying: I don’t drink milk and I hardly ever put sugar on my tea, which means that I’ll never get the real taste of Chai tea. Still, I’ve tasted some Chai teas that were nice, and this spice blend from Tea Pigs is one of those. The taste doesn’t compare to the wonderful smell you get when you pick up the tea bag, but it’s a nice spice blend, perfect for wintery days (and sunny, warm fall afternoons like today). Paired with some lovely chocolate biscuits and the latest episode of Project Runway, it made for a good afternoon.

Notting Hill from Yumchaa
76
Spice Imperial from Whittard of Chelsea
72

There’s nothing better than spiced tea on a rainy, cold winter day. Or, you know, on a sunny summer afternoon.
Though I actually prefer spiced tea on cold days, I couldn’t resist trying this great gift, especially after opening the tin and immediately getting hit by that lovely aroma. And though it isn’t as good as my favorite “Chá verde Inverno”, which has a stronger citrous flavor, Spice Imperial is a very nice addition to my growing tea collection.

Berry Berry Nice from Yumchaa
85
Chá preto Ilha dos Amores from Empório do Chá
75
Thé à l'Opéra from Mariage Frères
78
Marco Polo from Mariage Frères
77

If you were to ask me which type of teas do I like most, I’d probably say green tea, but lately I’ve been expanding my choices and black tea is definitely gaining on green tea. And with the help of Marco Polo, the race is drawing closer than ever. Amazing flavour!!

Earl Grey from Mariage Frères
63

It’s quite nice, not as harsh as some earl grey’s I’ve tasted, but I will still choose Lady Grey over Earl Grey everytime.

Fujian Jasmine Tea from Companhia Chá Macau Va Lun
68

A gift from a good friend in Macau, this is a nice jasmine tea. I love the tin box with the individual tea packets inside, this will certainly help to keep the tea fresh longer.

Chá Preto S. Valentim from Empório do Chá
72
Lady Grey from Twinings
82
Chá preto Ilha dos Amores from Empório do Chá
75

I like it better hot, but it’s still nice lukewarm in the summer.

Lady Grey from Twinings

Chá verde Inverno from Empório do Chá

Green Tea with Spearmint (Thé Nanah à la menthe) from Kusmi Tea
71
Chá preto Ilha dos Amores from Empório do Chá

Chá preto Ilha dos Amores from Empório do Chá

Chá verde Mar de Verão from Empório do Chá

Debaixo do Vulcão - Under the Vulcano from Empório do Chá
75

Only a bit more left in my stash. Damn…
Oh well, guess I’ll have to drink it up.
