197 Tasting Notes

Mélange Hédiard from Hediard
81

Bergamot and lemon in a pleasant mix. Probably could use a bit of sugar

Francy Grade Formosa Oolong from Upton Tea Imports
79

Tastes of honey and pineapple and a bit of earthines. Really enjoyed it

Dragonwell from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea
81

Very nice, very beautiful tea – one of the first greens I have liked

Ceylon from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

It’sa nice tea, but I wouldn’t rave about it. Love the packaging

Lady Londonderry from The Tea Table
61

The lemon in this slightly overpowers the Strawberry. Culinary teas is better, IMHO

La Vert Pear from Libre-Teas
94

Very, very nice blend of crisp fresh pear and smooth, gentle green. Well done!

Earl Grey Creme from Libre-Teas
42

Tastes more chocolate-minty than Earl Grey. It is very tasty, but the Earl is absent. If the former is what you want, it’s fine, if you want His Lordship, he’s not at ’ome

Yunnan Gold from Adagio Teas
81

More delicate than most Yunnans. i really like it.

Elaine's Blend from Harney & Sons
40
Lavender Dreams from Teavana
62

Very pleasant, very delicate, like old lavender sachets. Couldn’t really catch any of the white tea taste. Very few buds in any case, so not one of the best whites.

Bali Black Raspberry from Celestial Seasonings
21

It smells like blackraspberries, but it doesn’t taste like them. Maybe too much hibiscus, but it’s too soapy, perfumey, whatever for me

Monk's Blend from The Tea Table
12

It took me days to try this, the overwhelmingsweet scent of the dry tea was very off-putting. When brewed it tasted medicinal witha bit of sweet edge. Not for me

Roastaroma from Celestial Seasonings
22

I think I like it only out of nostalgia

Russian Country from Harney & Sons
25

This tea smells very strongly of Lapsang Souchong, but doesn’t deliver it in the taste, which surprisingly had a bit of licorice to it. As it cools, there’s more smoke, but it’s not a particularly good tea

Original Blend from Red Rose
34

nothing extra special, nothing bad, but a nice warm cup on a cold grey day with special friends

Ti Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy) from Dream About Tea
75

The first Iron Goddess of Mercy I have liked and it’s lovely, mouth fillingly sweet and floral, but not at all cloying. It has a touch of vegetal to keep it grounded. Warms you for a while, right down to your tum.

Hao Ya 'B' from Harney & Sons
35

I am really undecided about this tea, I disliked it brewed for 5 min and at 3 I wasn’t sure. Will have to have some more. Loved the smell

Six Summits from Teavana
75

Mine had no berries in it, unlike what is currently pictured on line – did they add flavoring before?

Six Summits from Teavana
75

I didn’t get berries, but I did get a scent of Swiss flowers and a sweet floral taste with a little chalk and maybe a hint of mint. Very nice.

Queen Catherine from Harney & Sons
75

This is a really nice tea. It is perfect for folks who are new to good teas

Earl Grey Supreme from Harney & Sons
83
Cranberry Autumn from Harney & Sons

Smells better than it tastes, but I am not a fruit in tea person. I love the thought, but it’s not for me

Hubei Province Keemun Ji Hong from Upton Tea Imports
75
Golden Blend from Harney & Sons

Not great, a little earthy, a little spicey, just ok
