197 Tasting Notes

Darjeeling Tea from Golden Moon Tea
56

Not the greatest, a bit astringent, nice floral and fruity taste, just nothing special

Meadow Nocturne from Liber Teas
73

Chamomile based with lots of pretty flower petals. Relaxing tisane tasting of apple and florals. Very pleasant and relaxing. Nice blend with the florals as a high note.

Nepalese Afternoon Tea from Golden Moon Tea
74

Alovely tea that smells like sandalwood, tastes like honey and flowers, without being sweet, [hooray] or flowery and has a nice lingering taste. A definite keeper

Yunnan Noir from Adagio Teas
76

A very nice tea. Not great, but very good. i got a smell of the best tobacco, with some dry cornsilk and bracken. Very smooth rich mouthfeel, with a bit of cocoa, but not much of the spice and pepper I usually associate with Yunnans. A more mellow one than usual. When it cools, the cocoa really comes out. Delicious!

Earl Grey de la Creme from SpecialTeas
24

I think it tastes like Lemon Chiffon and not Earl Grey. It’s a pleasant tea and one I’m sure others would enjoy, but I like my Earl straight up.

Lilac Bouquet from Simpson & Vail
81

My goodness, this really smells like the real deal and it tastes really good. Wonderful cure for the wintertime blues. Very girly, girly, but not cloying or too sweet. Maybe a spice cookie to offset it.

Kenya Small-Leaf Black from Simpson & Vail
34

Very black, very small leaves. Just on the okay side, nothing special

Rose Kissed Jasmine from Simpson & Vail
95

A really lovely smelling and tasting green tea. Be careful not to over brew. I am drinking it to welcome our new great-niece, Ava Rose, born this morning!

China Keemun from Simpson & Vail
77

A very nice black with an amazing range of tastes fom earthy to unsweet prune and finishing with a floral. Lighter than expected. Excellent.

Thai Chai from Adagio Teas
83

This is very well done. A little different for me, as chais go, but I really liked it

Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
12

Too much lemon peel! Spoiled it. Milk and sugar did not help

Pineapple Paradise from The Boston Tea Company
80

Smells wonderful tastes nicely pineappley while warm, ends up more berry flavored. The liquor starts out bright green then gets muddy, then it is pink. Very odd. You fruity tea people might like it iced. It’s a nice tea.

Hairy Crab Oolong from Dream About Tea
74

A lovely floral oolong. Second steep even better than first, richer, fuller,etc. Wonderful big leaves. A definite keeper

Blacksmith Blend from The Tea Smith
73

A really good tea that’s driving me crazy because I can’t quite pin down the smell or taste. But it is very good, with none of the drawbacks one often finds in black teas

Kenya Black from Simpson & Vail
45

Pleasant but just ok, with no nuances

Cecilliyan Estate from Upton Tea Imports
69

There’s an amazing difference between this tea plain and with milk. It’s very fresh, has a little oaky taste. Much better with milk. An all around good tea for you Ceylon-istas

White Licorice from Golden Moon Tea
71

Not a licorice fan, but I liked it. My husband thought it was really good

Victorian Earl Grey from Simpson & Vail
91

A lovely tea, with a really good balance of Lavander and Earl Grey, with some hints of other flavors as well. An excellent blend

Summertime Earl Grey from Simpson & Vail
15

Not much Earl, too much berry, Did not taste good cold. Not worth it.

Bolivian Black Long Leaf Tea from Simpson & Vail
75

Long leaf it is, about 1.5 inches. Very complex nose – roasted corn silk, wonderful floral, vegetal. Great taste, smooth, definately black with a great floral and a hint of astringency to hold it together. A tea new to the world market.

Comfort and Joy from The Republic of Tea
20

The tin is pretty. Its okay. Tastes like 50 others I have had, so why bother.

South of the Border Chocolate Tea from The Tea Smith
94

Very, very chocolate – really good dark stuff with a strong whiff of cherry and the warmth, but not the bite of chili. Really good hot, not so good as it cooled. My husband loved it and he is not a big tea person.

Moroccan Mint from Golden Moon Tea
