Another tea sample from Sil! Soooo maaaaannnyyyy, hahaha. Thanks!

I think I shorted the water on this one too, so it’s a bit on the strong side. However, it’s kind of tasty! There’s not a great deal to the aroma, but there’s a nice caramelly fruitiness to the cup, and perhaps just a touch of creaminess. Not quite what I might have expected, but it’s enjoyable! There is a fair bit of astringency, and a bit of bitterness, but it feels more like I made the tea too strong than a problem with the tea itself. Perhaps I will go add a bit of water and see if it improves.

Love this!! Very similar to DAVIDs Forever Nuts blend. But this one is a more real tasting nutty brew. I love apple and cinnamon flavours together. And this brew has them! Gonna try a cold brew of this which should be super yummy!!

Boiling 8 min or more

drank Irish Breakfast by Tealish
34 tasting notes

This is a tea my hubby enjoys so this is really his review :) He likes a straight, strong black tea so this one fits the bill nicely for him. He adds a splash of milk and a pinch of sugar. He told me taste wise, its very bold. Any recommendations for other black teas along these lines would be appreciated!!!

drank Milk Oolong by Tealish
34 tasting notes

Now this is a nice milk oolong! I can taste buttery notes and a nice sweet milk after taste. Also has a bit of nuttiness to it.
I didn’t get these various tastes from my DAVIDs milk oolong. A very nice satsifying cup of tea before house cleaning :)

I wasn’t as impressed with the DavidsTea milk oolong once I tried another one. Theirs seems to be a low-grade one.

Backlogged cuppa from yesterday:
POW!! It is like an explosion of orange and almond goodness from the moment you smell this tea dry. And to me it tastes as good as it smells. I have not had a tea infused with orange and I really like it. Very comforting to me for some reason. Thankfully, it is not too overpowering but does seem to invigorate me! This would make a great tea to go to for an afternoon pick-me-up!

Oooh – this tea is divine! Cannot believe there are no previous tasting notes! Love the aroma and taste of the Lychee. Just a nice all around green tea that supposedly detoxes as well. Another re-purchase!

drank Earl Grey Cream by Tealish
34 tasting notes

Well, spent a fair chunk of change today at one of my favourite tea stores in Toronto – Tealish! This was one of my purchases. I am really starting to appreciate Earl Grey Creams. Tealish’s version has a lovely aroma and to me, just the right amount of bergamot. I don’t like letting it steep for too long. I find that it gets less creamy tasting if I do. This really is a yummy tasting Earl Grey Cream! Not too bergamot-y and not too creamy. Will mos def be repurchasing!!

drank Sweetie Pie Rooibos by Tealish
183 tasting notes

I decided to try this one again, but with some alterations. I added a bit of dried ginger and 4 cardamom pods to the tisane, and I think it helped. I’m still getting a bit of a fake almond taste, but it’s not nearly as strong as before. The spices help to balance it out a bit. Still no coconut flavour, though. Maybe I’ll add some coconut next time.

drank Sweetie Pie Rooibos by Tealish

There’s a woody taste underlying every sip of this tea (the rooibos I’m sure), and its marzipan flavouring is very heavy. I’m afraid I don’t taste the coconut at all, which is unfortunate. I’ve tried this hot and cold, and find it better cold.

I think I’ll have to do a bit of experimenting mixing this with other teas to try to make it more drinkable and balance out the artificial almond taste.

I don’t taste the patisserie aspect, but it’s nice and sweet and creamy. Great for cozy breakfast.

Coworkers kept stopping by my desk to ask what smelled so good!

Sweet, nicely-balanced almond-y/apple-y flavor, quite mild.

drank Russian Caravan by Tealish

Very pronounced smoky odor and taste; feels a little harsh going down. Okay with or without milk. Probably not one I’ll return to.

A little over-sweet from the grenadine. Good to try once but not as a regular purchase.

interesting coconut and spice tastes, but not much tea flavor—I often toss a black tea bag in the pot to up the tea-ness.

The first time I smelt this tea, I had to sit down. An intense desserty smell that makes me go weak in the knees every time. Tastes just as good as it smells!

drank Rooibos Provence by Tealish
1759 tasting notes

This is an awesome rooibos. Slightly floral with a zing, and a barely noticeable bitter edge (moreso as it cools).
The fruity part plays nicely with the floral, creating a candy like taste. Not quite cotton candy, but definitely something fluffy and soft!
When I run out of rooibos blends to try, this will be on my repurchase list.
and yes, I can hear you all chuckling. AS IF there will ever be a shortage of teas to sample. Ha!

I dropped by tealish last? weekend or maybe it was the weekend before. Sadly I left rather unimpressed with their store. I think what concerned me most was how WARM the store was…and with all that tea sitting there in the warmth. Not only that I’m not as big a fan when i can’t have smaller sizes or when I have to ask them to take down canisters for me (especially when it’s busy). We’ll see though…maybe i’ll have to “borrow” some of your favs from them…

Indigobloom

I hear you on that. Usually it is really cold in there so I guess they have furnace issues??
Since I don’t make it out there very often, I only have maybe three of their teas. This one was a free sample they gave me. You’re welcome to have some! :)

Backlog from last night. This took forever to load!!
As for the tea, I think I need to try it again. It was so rooibos heavy that I could barely pick out any floral notes, even with a top up of agave. No rating for now…

CHAroma

AHHHHHHH!!!! You’re one tasting note away from 500!!!!!!!! :D

Indigobloom

you’re right!! wow, thanks for pointing that out! now I’m sad that I have no new tea to post about today. I want it to be a good one so would rather it be something I haven’t tried before!!

not sure I can get behind this variation. The grenadine makes the tea take on this weird fruity flavour that I don’t really like. Every sip i take i’m always trying to figure out what i’m drinking.

I’ve never met a Monks Blend that I liked. Ick!

Picked this up while the other half and I were wandering around town. I’m not sure I’d buy much else from tealish without a recommendation from someone but this one appealed to me and he said he’d try it so purchase it we did! Ill give it more of a review later. :)

I purchased a cup of this tea from Tealish today. It’s certainly very nice on a chilly day, but I find it a bit one-note. It’s very sweet and creamy, but that’s all it it. Tasty, but I’m glad I didn’t buy extra.

Tastes just like Pina Colada, but the bright pink will throw you off. I love this one iced in the summer! I’m addicted.
