108 Tasting Notes

Green Tea from Bigelow
43

Very mediocre. I couldn’t get my regular sencha today, so this had to do, but it’s really unspectacular.

Orange and Spice Herb Tea from Bigelow
66

The only herbal tea I can drink to fool myself into thinking that I’m drinking something caffeinated. I combine it with a bag of black if I’m out of spiced chai, and it’s not bad.

Cranberry Twist from Timothy's
2

Absolutely revolting. Avoid, avoid, aviod! (Exterminate!)

Peppermint from Irresistibles
74

Can you mess up bagged peppermint? It’s as good as any other I’ve had. Maybe one day I’ll find a really good one, and realise how lacklustre this one was. Until then, bottom’s up.

Pitta Ayurvedic from DAVIDsTEA
53

I was looking for a substitute for straight raspberry leaf tea (can’t stand the taste, but I like the benefits), so I gave this a try. Much better than plain raspberry leaf tea, but I don’t know if I like it enough for it to be a daily drink.

After Midnight from DAVIDsTEA
70

They may have oversteeped it (it was a sample they gave me in store) – I think it needed some milk, as I found it quite strong. I’d like to take some home to brew myself, and experiment with steeping time.

Prince of Wales from Twinings
80

Quite pleasantly surprised. I like it a lot! Not nearly as strong as what I usually like for breakfast, but it holds up just fine.

Ceylonese Orange Pekoe from Lee Valley
69
Pearl Drop Morning Dew from Moonbean Coffee Co.
49

I had this at the cafe, and I don’t think it was prepared properly. Too bad.

Cabana Breeze from Tea Store
88

Lovely and warm and spicy. Like chai, but not quite.

Chai from Twinings
67

Pretty standard bagged chai, so I like it well enough.

Yorkshire Gold from Taylors of Harrogate
86

I finally decided to try this, having heard only good things about it. It’s great! And it really is cheaper loose than buying it in bags. Looks like I’ve found a new breakfast tea.

English Breakfast from Higgins & Burke
77

Pleasant. Went well with my bacon and eggs.

Pumpkin Spice from Tim Hortons
75

I’ve finally found a rooibos I like! Tastes like pumpkin pie, mmm.

African Honeybush, Mandarin & Orange from Twinings
18
Blueberry & Apple from Twinings
35
Secret Weapon from DAVIDsTEA
25

Not so keen on flavoured white teas – white tea is so mild, any flavouring completely overwhelms the taste.

Cranberry, Raspberry and Elderflower from Twinings
25

I like that it’s red, but I just don’t like the taste that much.

African Rooibos, Strawberry and Vanilla from Twinings
18
Lemon and Ginger from Twinings
25

I’ll only drink this if I have a cold, and with honey.

A Moment of Calm Chamomile, Honey & Vanilla from Twinings
75
Jasmine (loose leaf) from Twinings
75
Darjeeling (loose leaf) from Twinings
75
Earl Grey (loose leaf) from Twinings
25

Profile

Bio

I’m at the point where my family, friends and coworkers ask me for tea advice. It’s awesome, but I still feel as though I’m just getting started.

I love tea, have a small ball-joint doll collection, am fascinated by Japanese culture and faerie folklore, and wish I could travel much more often. I have two daughters, a husband, and three cats. I wish I had more time for all the things I want to learn and do.

I use Steepster to log each tea I try only once, so I may not update that often, but I drink several kinds of tea several times daily!
