72 Tasting Notes

Comforting from Aveda

I brewed this extra strong, as that’s how I prefer most herbals. It smells good – luckily the licorice root is not overwhelming. It is indeed relaxing and it helped soothe my tummy.

I don’t think I’d go out of my way to purchase this, but it’s not bad.

English Breakfast Tea from Stash Tea Company
75

This is a very decent english breakfast! Full and smooth, and perfect to get me going before work.

I love it with milk and splenda.

Lemon Spice from Stash Tea Company

Drank a cup of this at work. It’s not bad! Light and zesty.

Silver Needle from Adagio Teas
75

Very delicate and slightly sweet. Next time I’ll use more leaves, but it was good.

Jasmine Petal from two leaves and a bud

I’ll start off by saying that I do not care for jasmine at all.

However, this one is drinkable – the jasmine isn’t overwhelming and I didn’t feel like I was drinking perfume. I like the quality of the sachet and the leaves inside. This hasn’t changed my mind on jasmine and I won’t be purchasing it, but this is one of the better jasmine teas I’ve tried.

Decaf Lemon and White Tea from Stash Tea Company
75

This is a very decent bagged tea. The lemon is fresh and tart, and the tea is light and delicate. I imagine it’d be delicious iced.

Wildberry Plum Green Tea from The Republic of Tea
75

I actually like this. I’m usually not a fan of many berry flavored teas because they tend toward tasting very artificial, but this one is nice. The fruitiness is there, but not overwhelming.

Strawberry Green from The Tea Table

It’s not bad. The strawberry flavor is very subtle. It has a bit of a floral taste to it. I don’t think I’d drink it all the time, but it’d decent.

Good Hope Vanilla (Red) from The Republic of Tea

I really like this – it’s sweet and creamy. Vanilla rooibos is my favorite way to drink it.

Green Tea Jasmine from Archer Farms
25

I hated this tea. NOw, in all fairness, I am not very fond of jasmine teas unless the jasmine is very subtle. I felt the jasmine in this was way too overpowering…I just felt like I was drinking a bottle of perfume. The tins are very nice, however.

Strawberry from Adagio Teas

Not bad. I overbrewed my first cup and it was very bitter, but my second attempt was much more successful. This is a tea that needs sweetening, but I do lightly sweeten most of my teas anyway. The strawberry flavor is decent, and doesn’t taste as artificial as many berry flavors tend to.

Calm from Tazo

I think it’s alright. I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it, but I have a few bags I got in a trade and I like it enough to drink them.

As others have noted, it tastes mostly of spearmint (with just a bit of chamomile). This is fine with me, as I like spearmint, but if you don’t, you won’t like this tea.

Chestnut from Adagio Teas
75

Mmm. It really does taste like roasted chestnuts. Not something I’d drink every day, but perfect for a chilly evening!

Raspberry Black from EnjoyingTea.com

It’s okay. It has a bit more astringency than I would like, and I would have enjoyed more raspberry flavor. I won’t be buying any of it, but it’s drinkable.

Don't Be Chai from Dandelion Communitea Cafe
75

I’m finishing off the last of this and I want MORE. Makes me want to never drink another packaged chai.

Ginger Peach from The Republic of Tea
75

This is a good every day tea. Balanced flavors, the peach is nice and not overwhelming, and there’s just the right amount of ginger.

Lichee Congou from The Tea Table

It’s decent, but I’ve had better lychee teas. It’s definitely drinkable, but as with many teas from The Tea Table, the flavor is just a bit off.

Oolong - Champagne Formosa from The Tea Table
75

This was my first oolong, and I really liked it. This is the only tea that I will probably buy again from this particular brand. Recommended.

Samovar Blend Tsarina from The Tea Table
Longing Heart from The Tea Table

It’s okay. A typical jasmine tasting tea. I don’t care much for jasmine, but this is a very pretty tea.

Gingerbread Spice from Celestial Seasonings
75
Pink Grapefruit (Sip for the Cure) from The Republic of Tea
75

I really like this one. There is just a hint of grapefruit, which I happen to love.

Joy from Tazo

It’s interesting. I haven’t yet found the exact ideal brewing time and temperature, but I think that once I do, it will be enjoyable enough for a bagged tea.

Peppermint from Celestial Seasonings
75

I take this to work with me whenever I feel icky. It is not that different than any other peppermint herbal tea, in that it is refreshing and cool and tasty.
