295 Tasting Notes

Vanilla Tea from Upton Tea Imports
76

12/09/09 I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon fire. Brewed for 3 minutes and I have a wonderfully smooth cup of tea. I don’t seem to like this tea by itself anymore. I am on my second infusion and will try for a third before the evening gets too late.
12/28/09 Smooth. Tasty. Great with chocolate

Plum Oolong from Dr. Tea's Tea Garden
100

When I first got this tea, I did not like it. Too tart. I waited several months and tried it again and loved it this time. I am on my second tin of this tea. I do like to add a teaspoon of cinnamon fire (also from Dr. Tea’s) to balance it out. The best part is that you get 4 steeps with this tea.
12/6/09 On my second infusion, it is as good as the first. Smooth finish. Pairs perfect with chocolate. The tartness of the plums blends nicely with this amber oolong. I do have to brew this in my 16 oz. glass teapot as the oolong leaves need more room to unfurl:) I will be able to get four infusions from this pot. This tea is pricey, but with the four infusions it is a nice indulgence.
12/30/09 nice, smooth oolong tea; 1/24/10 love this tea:)

Ginger Peach from The Republic of Tea
94

11-09 Smooth. Addictive. I drink this tea all day long. Wonderful flavors that do not overpower the black tea base.
12/5/09 Two tea bags in my 12 oz. Chatsford teapot. 3 minutes brewing time and a perfect cup of tea. Smooth, defined peach flavor with just a hint of the ginger. This is fast becoming my “go to” tea. Was able to get 2 infusions!!!
12/31/09 :) 1/26/10: I have not had this tea in a while and boy have I missed it. Smooth taste, just a hint of peach, the ginger hits you after you swallow. Simple is the word I would use to describe this tea.

Peppermint from Teavana
89

I use this when I have a sore throat. Two to three cups of this and no more sore throat. It does taste vegan.

Masala Chai from Teavana
50

Good spicy flavor.

White Pineapple Coconut from Dr. Tea's Tea Garden
46

I want to like this tea, but it is too flowery for me. Better in the summertime, good iced.

Black Apple Pie from Dr. Tea's Tea Garden
99

This tea is very smooth and comforting. Great after dinner. Steeps:4

STAY CALM AND DRINK TEA

Steam rises from a cup of tea

and we are wrapped in history,

inhaling ancient times and lands,

comfort of ages in our hands.
