TeaBrat drank Decaf Ceylon by Adagio Teas

2816 tasting notes

I’m making Indian Food for dinner tonight which is going to consist of basmati rice and this urad dal recipe I found. I’ve never made it before but it looks yummy.

I thought I’d have a chai to get in the mood for some cooking. I used the herbal chai masala I got from Simpson and Vail and added some of this decaf ceylon. This is seriously the WORST decaf tea I’ve ever tried and it totally ruined the chai. Into the garbage it goes. I didn’t like it plain and evidently I can’t use it for mixing into anything either so it’s just a waste of money. I lowered the rating to a “1” which is probably the lowest rating I’ve given any tea on Steepster. Blech!

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
