6686 Tasting Notes

Dorian Grey from Luhse Tea
88

I had 2 cups of this – this morning. I’m getting very low. I’m dreading the day I run out.

2011 Douji "Nuan Jiang Shan" (Warm River Mountain) Ripe Puerh Loose Leaf Tea from China Cha Dao
93

This one smells like wet wood and dirt…very earthy.
The color is a medium brown once infused.

The flavor is more gentle than I assumed it would be based on the aroma, alone. I’m happy with the level of flavor on the tongue.

It’s somewhat mellow, thick like broth, slightly earthy but a little sweet…like sweet wood. This feels good on the throat. This is a very nice ripe pu-erh! Nice surprise!

Wild Raspberry Pu-erh from The Whistling Kettle

Apple Green Tea from Yamamotoyama
77

I just wanted everyone to know that there is still time to follow/comment to win on my site!

I will be choosing a winner tomorrow!

As far as this tea goes…it smells very sweet-puckery green apple! Crisp, juicy, tart!

The flavor is much of the same! The Sencha is savory yet subtle ‘green’ tasting. The flavor steps on top of it. Sweet-puckery-green apple.

Would be even better iced, but not bad hot, especially for a bagged sencha!

Lil Leapin' Lordy Lou from Keen Tea Thyme
77

I received some of this from keen thanks so much. I am also using my new blu tooth keeyboard for my ipad so sorry about the typing skills or lack there of…just getting used to it.

LOVED the sugar and gold in this. The cinnamon and sugar contrasted with the mint. Different but good. I like this because it;s different

nice creation

2012 Fu Ding Bai Cha' from China Cha Dao
95

Azzrian Thanks, sista!
This was lovely! Grand! I really REALLY enjoyed this! It was mild, a little roasty/toasty, sweet, creamy, clean, and somewhat brothy/soupy by subtly-so!

It’s like ZEN…in a cup!

YAY!

Marshmallow Winter from Compass Teas
86

Will be starting my 2nd cup of this soon! First one wasn’t hot enough. Still tasty, tho!

Kopili Assam from Stash Tea Company
77
Organic Superfine Keemun Fragrant Black Tea from Teavivre
92

Forgot to log yesterday’s few cups and had another two this morning! Still LOVE this one. See other notes!

Good Morning Sunshine from Butiki Teas
96

Backlogging from this morning! It was FAB!!!! See other notes!

Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & Sons
32

Pretty much tastes like the liquid form of a medium strength “hot ball”…not really that wonderful…but I am sure it could be used for seasoning something…just not a serious black flavored tea…oh yeah…not much black tea flavor at all in there, just a heads up.

Mind Boost Mint- Gun Powder Green from sTEAp Shoppe
68

Thanks Azzrian

I thought this tasted like a Mint/Gingko Baloba/Licorice combo. It took me a while to realize it also had Gunpowder Green Tea in it! The flavors over power the tea itself and it taste a bit too licorice-y for me upfront but as I continue to drink it – I got used to it a bit more.

This one is alright. A nice pick-me-up and packs a powerful punch of flavor if you like those flavors.

Not my favorite but not too shabby either.

Pineapple Cilantro Cream from Butiki Teas
94

Soooooo aromatic! Sooooo delicious! Sooooo wonderful! Ahhhhh! See other notes :)

Organic Gyokuro from Aiya
96

Had a cup of this before “lunch” which really only consisted of bean chips and nuts! LOL Regardless this was good!

Creamy Earl Grey from Fashionista Tea
89

ANDFINALLY…I’m all caught up on my backlogs…again, so sorry! I’m just finishing a bit of this…actually I’m on my 2nd cuppa. I do enjoy this one from Fashionista! I think I will add a few points to my previous rating :)

Also good cold!

TK08: Season's Pick Monte Branco Estate PF1 from Upton Tea Imports
66

I’ve tried this one a few times now and something just doesn’t sit with me as well as most Black Teas. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Perhaps one of these days I will. This was my first tea of the day today! But all I can think about is my Vegan Hashbrown Casserole I have been eating for two days! LOL

Incase you are interested…

I think for now I will lower this rating a bit. I have logged this one before if you would like to take a look at those notes, too.

Hum….

Baker Street Afternoon Blend (TB75) from Upton Tea Imports
91

Backlogging from yesterday! One of my favorites from Upton so far! See other notes! Looking forward to some sun tea with this one, too! I think it would be wonderful with salads in the summer!

Yuzu Dream from Mellow Monk
100

I had this yesterday and it was delightful! I would like to pair it with or use it in soups soon! I’m thinking about Cauliflower…what do you think?
What about tweaking this one to incorporate?

It was part of my Norwegian Foods Week last week!

Breakfast Earl Grey from Whittard of Chelsea

CLOSE to being caught up with my back logs! This is a backlog from yesterday! I had a cup while chomping on some Lush Gourmet Nuts! I hope to start reviewing them on my today or tomorrow. I have LOTS going on there if you are interested!
