19 Tasting Notes

Snowbud from Adagio Teas
73

Benefits from longer steep times 7 min +

Honey ok
Sweetner good
Sugar na

Brewed in IngenuitiTEA teapot I think a gaigon would be better, needs the control.

Jasmine #12 from Adagio Teas
89

a favorite with or without sweetner. Not so good, for me, with honey.

Quiet time tea, not overpowering.

Jade Oolong #18 from Adagio Teas
91

I really like this. Going straight to my shopping list. More . . .

Formosa Oolong #8 from Adagio Teas
50

At first I didn’t like this. Too woodsey, grassey. I resteeped it 3 times and enjoyed each infusion a little more. Not sure this will become part of my cupboard.

Wu Yi Ensemble from Adagio Teas
67

Good , nice for a change. Adagio hasn’t listed this one yet.

Black Dragon Pearls from Adagio Teas
75

Smooth, mellow. Late morning pot.

20 oz Bodum Classic tea press. 4 pearls.

Blueberry from Adagio Teas
75

Looking for a warming cup to start my day. With milk and sweetner. Good! Not overpowering.

I just received this from Adagio yesterday. Think I’ll keep it around as a staple flavored Black Tea.

Kama Chai Sutra from Tavalon Tea
71

I got this as part of a black tea sampler. Hardly!! It’s Chai.

Although I’m not a fan of herbal teas I like this quite a bit with lot’s of milk and sugar.

English Breakfast from Adagio Teas
90

Having a fresh 20 oz pot with a pinch of Lapsang Souchong added.

Golden Yunnan from Adagio Teas
81

Black tea from the Yunnan region of China. Yunnan tea is easily identified by its luscious soft leaves, and a unique peppery taste. Our ‘Yunnan Gold’ as the name implies is an exceptional quality tea with beautiful gold-colored leaves and an abundance of rich peppery flavor. Allowed to take only one tea to a desert island, ‘Yunnan Gold’ would be our clear choice.

Keemun Encore from Adagio Teas
87

Dark, fragrent, with smoky overtones. A great accompanyment to a chilly morning.

NYC Breakfast from Tavalon Tea
81

I liked it. Wonderful aroma and pleasant aftertaste. I prefer other ebts to this one but this one is excelllent.

Purity from Tavalon Tea
25

Not what I would classify as a black tea although I received this in a black tea samples’ box.

I’d consider this an herbal tea.

Not one of my favorites.

Kenyan Sunrise from Mighty Leaf Tea
87

Cold morning today trying to wake up with my favorite breakfast tea.

Brewed in my 20 oz pot from Bodum

I’m enjoying this with, as is usual for me, milk and sweetner.

Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
79

I like this Breakfast tea but not as much as the version from Adagio Teas although this tea is much more forgiving as to steep times.

I’m enjoying this in my new classic teapot from Bodem that I received just yesterday

Ceylon Kenilworth from Mighty Leaf Tea
75

I often overlook this tea in my cupboard and everytime I do I don’t understand why. I really do enjoy this tea. It’s fresh everytime I brew it.

A refreshing black tea.

Keemun Encore from Adagio Teas
87

I was looking for something dark and comforting this morning and this Keemun does the job very nicely. Lots of different woodsy flavors although I fail to find the chocolate.

Wonderful aroma.

Xue Ya Ballad from Adagio Teas

I’m not a big green tea fan but I like this as it reminds me of a black tea. One reviewer likened this to pu eth but it doesn’t remind me of that at all!

Black Dragon Pearls from Adagio Teas
75

Delicious! Benefits from re-steeping. One of my favs.
