248 Tasting Notes

Coconut Cream Pie from 52teas
97

The creamy flavor of pie has come into its own now that it has been steeped more in a more open space, I feel the taste has time to breathe as it is cooling, and stays consistent throughout the glass.

Something special I might add, as I finish the first cup, the last few sips reward me with a sweet and buttery flavor.

This tea is fantastic!

Coconut Cream Pie from 52teas

The flavor is quite relaxing when you are in the middle of a hectic day.

The creamy goodness of pie is a joy to sink into between urgent inquiries and phone calls, the coconut drifting you away to relaxing tropical places.

Pumpkin Pie Flavored Black from 52teas
84

Not as spicy as the first time, nor as much pumpkin.

It’s odd, but the pumpkin and the pie are there, only separated, and it doesn’t work at all.

Quite disappointing, as the first steep gave quite a surprise.

Coconut Cream Pie from 52teas
97

I’m really liking steeping this tea in a smaller cup, the creamy flavor is stronger and lasts longer, and I think because it has more room to breathe, the coconut is brighter as well.

I find I am drinking this a lot, so I really should buy more of this amazing blend.

Coconut Cream Pie from 52teas
97

Steeped in a smaller cup, I usually steep in my Teavana 16oz travel tumbler but it shattered so I am forced to make smaller amounts in smaller equipment until my goto is replaced.

Smaller seems to bring out more of the creamy flavor of this tea, and also seems to blend the subtle coconut really well.

I’m kind of wanting to make this into a latte with whipped cream to see how it would taste.

Pumpkin Pie Flavored Black from 52teas
84

This tea is surprisingly spicy. From the aroma opening the bag to sipping, I can taste the prominent cloves and cinnamon.

The pumpkin is a subtle and smooth underlying flavor over the black tea, complimenting the taste instead of feeling overwhelmed by the spices.

This is a great tea, very surprising as I was expecting a typical pumpkin pie flavor.

More tea leaves bring a richer flavor, much creamier with an increasing coconut taste.

The first steep I had used about a teaspoon, but this time I had made it a heaping teaspoon.

Samurai Chai Mate & White Ayurvedic Chai Blend from Teavana
100

As autumn transitions to winter, this tea is one of few things that is keeping me from going insane waiting for autumn to end.

It is still sweet and spicy as ever, the colorfully bright citrus flavors dance as my mind drifts from the miserable rainy weather to late spring of this year in Chicago when I first sampled this blend.

S'mores Chai from 52teas
94

The leaves have a light spicy sweet aroma that intrigues me. Because the spice is one of the first to catch, I suspect the s’mores taste might get overwhelmed.

And I was right, as the spicy chai flavor is above all the taste in this blend. It is not a bad flavor, a sweet and creamy variation with a smoky touch.

The marshmallow and others are subtle, but you catch them in different sips, as the spice still does overwhelm.

Nonetheless, for chai lovers, this is a great variation.

Coconut Cream Pie from 52teas
97

The aroma right when you open the bag is mind-blowingly delicious coconut, I will instantly like this.

The first few sips give me that light creamy pie taste with a subtle flavor of coconut, although I would prefer more coconut than pie.

Nonetheless, this is a great tea for any time of day, as it is light and delicious.

Almond Biscotti from Teavana
99

2nd steep of last of the leaves, with no rock sugar.

It is still buttery, but because of the 2nd steep, it loses some flavor.

Despite, it is still delicious.

99

The last of my first bag from Teavana, more is on the way.

I believe the last bit was a little under 2 teaspoons, as I wanted the flavor to overflow this morning.

Very buttery, still very delicious.

Maharaja Chai Oolong from Teavana
99

Today, the brew is satisfyingly spicy, with a still strong aroma of pepper and cardamon.

I love when this tea has a bit of a bite to it, it gives me that extra kick either in the mornings or afternoons.

Youthberry Wild Orange Blossom Tea Blend from Teavana
84

Very fruity, you can barely taste the white tea.

Although the citrus flavor is present, it is not a typical orange flavor, more grapefruit, which doesn’t deter from the deliciousness overall.

This was a sample that came with my Teavana orders, which included rock sugar, so it was easy steeping right out of the bag.

Samurai Chai Mate & White Ayurvedic Chai Blend from Teavana
100

Just realized I’ve been oversteeping this tea, as it is flavored white tea, it should be steeped for 2 minutes instead of 3.

It is less bitter, a bit lighter on spice, but the flavor is still bright and full, and this is still my favorite chai blend.

Spice of Life from Teavana
94

The blend of spices and nuts tell me “holiday drink” the more I sip this.

I may have to buy more for winter.

Peach Cran-Tango Black Tea from Teavana
84

Beautifully sweet and fruity, the cranberry and peach is very bright and stands out with its similarly sweet aroma.

It is surprisingly sweet enough to not require rock sugar, as I have done adding just under a teaspoon. Next time, I will try it without sugar.

Cacao Mint Black from Teavana
94

A very rich and very nutty tea, with a slight refreshing mint.

The chocolate taste does not overtake the overall richness of the tea, very balanced.

I added more rock sugar than I usually add to other teas, approximately 2 teaspoons.

Maharaja Chai Oolong from Teavana
99

My second favorite chai tea, the spices are what really make me enjoy a brew of this.

It is very rich and spicy, just the right amount of kick that accents well with the woody oolong flavor.

Sweetened with just about a teaspoon of rock sugar.

Spice of Life from Teavana
94

The smell is a blend of sweet citrus and lightly nutty, with the combination of almonds and pistachios, and a subtle spice.

The taste mirrors the aroma exactly, giving off a delectable quality blend mixed with light white tea.

I added half a teaspoon to compliment the sweet citrus.

Almond Biscotti from Teavana
99

It is a joy to now start each day sipping on cookies.

The flavor never gets old, as I have already purchased more in case I finish the whole 2 oz. before I get to refill my container.

Samurai Chai Mate & White Ayurvedic Chai Blend from Teavana
100

This is my daily tea, mainly steeped in the early or late afternoon.

The spices and citrus accents make it perfect to enjoy anytime during the afternoon and consistently explodes with every sip.

Skinny Chai Pu-erh from Teavana
67

I am not quite sure about this one.

Right away, this has a very strong floral aroma mixed with chai accents, which is quite overwhelming as you are sipping it.

It is a very light flavor that starts subtly, but explodes once it passes your tongue, not too spicy with a slight nutty taste.

I can see this as a nice nooner tea, it does not overwhelm with taste, and it does taste pretty good.

Almond Biscotti from Teavana
99

This has quickly become my favorite morning tea.

Very buttery, lightly sweet, and extremely dreamy; a perfect description would be like drinking a delicious cookie.

Because of the quality of the blend, you can’t really taste the black tea over the almond flavor, which I add just under a teaspoon of rock sugar to maintain sweetness.
