197 Tasting Notes

Saint Isaac's Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Assam Hattialli Estate TGFOP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Earl Grey Rose and Lavender from The Tea Table
25
Rosy Earl Grey from Teas Etc
78

Yum – oh. Smells great, looks great, tastes great. Very much a lady’s afternoon tea.

ZG63: Dong Yang Dong Bei from Upton Tea Imports
69

Very nice, gentle green with a vegie/floral/new dried grass scent, a slightly sweet, somewhat asparagus taste

Green Ginger from Tazo
71

Smells good, tastes good, very Chinesey and would go well with milder tasting Chinese food. Flavors are balanced without becoming muddy. A keeper.

Black Currant from Ahmad Tea

I am not a good reviewer for black currant tea. I used to consider it a real treat. Now, I can’t get past the smell. Don’t know if it’s me or the manufacturers. This at least had a fruity scent under the awful one and the taste was ok.

Madagascar Vanilla Sunday Blend from SpecialTeas

It smells wonderful, but doesn’t deliver on taste. I think I am always disappointed by vanilla teas. Guess I ought to quit trying them.

Sweet Dreams from Bigelow

I’m not a fan of herbal teas. To me, the majority are much too alike and this, while pleasant, is too.

Tazo Chai from Tazo
73

A very Indian chai, rich and balanced and full of spice. Mine is organic and I loved it.

Samurai Chai Mate from Teavana
7

This is easily the worst brew I have had in a very long time

ZY88: Yunnan Tippy Select from Upton Tea Imports
Imperial Yunnan from Upton Tea Imports
78
Violet Rose Black Tea from Simpson & Vail
34

Very strong violet, less rose. Would have preferred a better balance. Won’t buy again.

Lady Londonderry from Culinary Teas
78

A really pleasant summery tea, one of my favorites. Good hot or cold

Nepal from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
52
Jasmine Orange Green Tea from Tree of Life

Surprisingly good, mostly Jasmine with just a hint of orange. Loosely rolled green tea in a pyramid bag.

Gunpowder Green (loose leaf) from Twinings
49

The second green tea I ever had. It is no longer up in the top 5, but I like it enough to use for sentiment sake.

Prince of Wales (loose leaf) from Twinings
70

I really like this tea. I always make it very strong and hot. it is the standard against which I compare all other POWs. Most put too much black currant in it and it smells like a cat sprayed it -eeeeouuuw

Mayan Cocoa Spice from Yogi Tea

I liked it but then it lingered, on and on and on and I wished it were over.

Framboise from Dammann Freres
85

A really really good raspberry tea from a renowned French tea company

British Breakfast from The Republic of Tea

Decent for bagged tea, good for lazy mornings when you need a quick cuppa.

Golden Pearls from Teas Etc
80
Fujian Black from Adagio Teas
61

Clean, mellow, a good tea when made strong enough
