6686 Tasting Notes

English Breakfast Tea by S.D. Bell from Best International Tea (S.D. Bell)
85
Marshmallow Winter from Compass Teas
86

Had a couple of cups of this and it was dandy this morning! See other notes!

White Guava from The Persimmon Tree Tea Company
88

Alphakitty thanks for this one!

I do like this!

The Guava goes with the white tea base beautifully! It’s just the right amount of Guava! Nice, light, delicate YET fruity, and near tropical! The strawberry notes are lovely, too!

Maple Syrup Matcha from Red Leaf Tea
99
Spiced Doughnut Chai from Compass Teas
96
Creamy Eggnog from Butiki Teas
99

I really don’t know why I waited so long to try this one. I can’t say I am an Eggnog Guru but I do know what I like and THIS is lovely! Of course I like it BETTER than Eggnog!!!! It smells FAB. Soooo creamy and light and fresh and festive. It’s sweet like brown sugar but creamy like heavy cream – but VEGAN style! Woot!!!! This may be the 8th wonder of the world right here! It’s amazing!

YUMMO!

Pu-erh Cabernet from Vintage TeaWorks
96
Superfine Tan Yang Gong Fu Black Tea from Teavivre
93
Masala Chai from Fashionista Tea
85

This is a very good Chai. The spices are intense, the black tea base is fairly peppy, too! Aromatic to the nose and zesty on the tongue. A nice Zip!

Fengqing Dragon Pearl Black Tea from Teavivre
90

SIPDOWN – got 3 good infusions from these DRAGON BALLS, tho!

Now THAT’s what I call “strong balls”

teehee

Bond Street English Breakfast Blend (TB10) from Upton Tea Imports
84
Wanja OP Black Tea from Wanja Tea of Kenya
92

Special thanks to Azzrian* for this one!

Both Azz and Bonnie did a GREAT job describing this one! Seriously, I can’t top them! :) You girls, ROCK!!!!!

In short, for me, Bold, Sturdy, Malty, Dark Coco/Chocolate, Dried Fruit hints really step forward! Very nice! Strong, bold, and terrific!

Breakfast Earl Grey from Whittard of Chelsea

Te Med Blåbärssmak from IKEA
45

Thanks Jillian
I brewed this one “lukewarm” for about 8 minutes.
It’s a very weak black tea base with subtle blueberry flavor going on.
This is pretty good cold but lacking for a HOT and Strong Black tea or Flavored Black Tea. Regardless it’s alright cold. Nothing much to say about it, really, that hasn’t already been said.

I’m happy I was able to try it and would probably exclusively drink this cold.

Autumn Winter Sencha, Kura-Maro from Chado Tea House
88

I’m on my 2nd infusion of this and I like the 2nd infusion better than the first. I am using short infusion times for this sencha – less than a minute. It’s GOOD. It’s a strong green – spinach and broccoli combo – flavor comparison. It’s sturdy and impressive! A really nice sencha!!!!

Herbal Grey from The Persimmon Tree Tea Company
83

I can’t believe I am the first to log this one.

Upon opening the tin I could smell a citrusy bergamot, mostly. I do love that aroma.

For the EG flavors they done come out to play more-so in the post-infusion.

The sweetness of the rooibos stands in the middle of the other flavors and plays its part.

I like this one much more than I thought I would.

Pretty good, indeed!

TC22: Kalubowitiyana Estate CTC BP1 from Upton Tea Imports
79

I had about 3 cups of this today and it did the trick. Upping rating. Bold and beautiful. See other notes.

Fashionista Blend from Fashionista Tea
86
French Vanilla Bean from The Persimmon Tree Tea Company
84

azzrian Thanks!

I’ve had this twice now and there are vanilla bean flavors in there but it seems like MORE than just that. I agree with some of the other tasting notes mentioning coffee hints and I also picked up on Nuttiness. Overall it was good but I feel it should have a name that is either more creative or has additional wordage because I picked up on different flavors in addition to the Vanilla. Not sure. Maybe it’s just me. I also could taste a sweet-wood, barky type flavor on the tongue, too, more-so when infusing a bit too long. I could pick up MORE on the vanilla/bean in the 2nd infusion.

Pretty good, tho!

Nutty & Sweet SororiTea from Uniq Teas
Finest Russian Caravan (TB70) from Upton Tea Imports
84

Needed to fill my cup – this was the first random black tea I saw in my stash! See previous notes :)

Fashionista Blend from Fashionista Tea
86

Sachets:
(See other notes for loose)

Sure, I liked the loose better but these sachets are great for on-the-go and that is what I needed earlier today! I got two solid steeps out of one bag! Not too shabby!

Yunnan Black from Peony Tea S.
94

Started my day with 3 cups of this! Awwwww-yeah! See previous notes!
