51 Tasting Notes

Strawberry Kiwi from Teaopia
71

I set this to brew this afternoon, and then got distracted with something else, so I ended up brewing it an extra 4.5mins beyond the original 8mins I had on the timer. I find it more tart than sweet, but that could be because I drank a coke earlier and maybe it’s still on my palette. I was told by a Teaopia rep that one can brew the heck out of these fruit blends, but I wonder if overbrewing it makes a difference in the taste?
I’m tempted to add a tiny bit of rock sugar, but will hold off for now.
The colour is a gorgeous red colour – the colour of raspberry jello when you first mix the powder in the water. Yum yum! And it smells softly sweet. It is enjoyable, but I think it’s more enjoyable iced.

Orchid Tea from Teaopia
92

I recently tried this while visiting a Teaopia store. It was absolutely beautiful to drink. And, because I got distracted by the Matcha and a bunch of other tea I had come to purchase, I forgot about this one (I know, I know, if it was that great, how could I have forgotten about it?) and I totally left the store without purchasing any of this tea. I’m hoping to remedy this before it sells out entirely.

Creamy Nut Oolong from Teaopia
90

I’ve been drinking this lovely tea all day! Dry, it smells nutty with sweet caramel notes, so I had high hopes for it to taste as good as it smells. This tea delivers! It has a gorgeous, nutty scent and flavour. Mildly sweet, a warm and soothing brew – not too strong, not too weak; just right!
I made it exactly to the directions, brewed it for 4mins at just under 90 degrees temperature. I see from the post that you can brew multiple infusions from it, although when I tried a second brewing, it was really bland. I will try it again using the 1 min brew time instructions here on Steepster and see how that goes. I will definitely have fun experimenting with this tea, mixing it up, perhaps even adding some sort of sweetener to it, just to see what notes pop out next time.

Bio

Just a girl doing yoga. And other random things.
I drink a lot….of tea.

I’m still figuring out my rating system. The little smiley faces mess me up – I wish you could see the numbers underneath. Bear with me while I figure it all out and hopefully come up with a rating system besides “like” “don’t like” and “sometimes/sorta kinda like” ;)
