Me likey :) I love the roastyness of houjicha tea. This one was really dark and rich, I like it a lot. Didn’t need to step it very long to get a lot of taste.

This tea is great – tastes good and smells good. I love it! I get the cherry taste but also maybe peaches… Mmmm. The taste lingers after in a nice way, an awesome sipping tea that I would buy.

Random grab from the Lupicia box. Smells really grape like, and you can definitely taste it. Nice fresh grape taste, not like cough syrup or anything like that. I’m just not feeling the green tea lately I think…

An ok tea, more berry than apple tasting to me and you can tell its a green tea. It smelled fruitier before steep and now that it’s steeped has an weird apple like smell. It’s not bad but I don’t like this one much. The Apple aftertaste is nice though.

Aw man, I think I made this wrong. It smelled really awesome and spicy, but was way bitter. The packaging on this one was a little different and I couldn’t find a time recommendation. I should’ve steeped it less. Tried adding eggnog which helped but needed sweetness to make it any good. Oh well, ok. A very Merry Christmas to all! A lovely, cold day today :)

This smells sweet and nondescriptly fruity… Tastes good and just like it smells. I don’t know what the real flavor is but it is tasty. A good one.

Blind reaching for a teabag gets me this. When I opened the packet I smelt smoke but I thought it was just the vog since last night was super smoky too – I was not expecting this taste. I had to look this one up in the booklet since it’s not in the database that I could find. It’s a cool tea, smoky but not too much and smooth. Not a horrible disappointment but I don’t like smokey teas so much so nope, not gonna get this.

A tasty green tea, it’s got a light to middle strongness of taste and is not bitter at all. It was good with my breakfast and held its own. Doesn’t really stand out though, so I don’t think I’d buy it.

It’s such a light, delicate tasting green tea. It was able to stand up to my chocolate cookies, so I can’t say that this is one I’d buy again. Not a memorable taste…

Hohoho! It’s cold and time for tea! I got the book of tea from Lupicia and chose this one for my first pick. It’s yummy! Totally mango and would definitely be great iced if it’s this good hot. I like when teas have a good aftertaste too and this one does, like I ate actual mangoes.

Hello! I am loving reading tasting notes and discovering a whole world of teas. My favorite type is definitely black teas. I prefer flavored, dessert types. I love sample sizes so I can try a little of each and have had fun swaps :). My bank account has been crying since I found steepster but I’m trying to exercise (find) some restraint and it helps that I know I’m not alone lol.
