mpierce87 drank Sleepytime Extra Wellness Tea by Celestial Seasonings

1015 tasting notes

Drinking this again because yeah, I can’t sleep. I was exhausted by 9:30 this evening and I went to bed early which of course meant that I woke up in the middle of the night completely awake. Wow, my sleep schedule is really messed up so maybe I’ll just force myself to stay awake until tonight so I can get it back on track. I think I could do that since it is already 4 am.

Oh and as an aside, I’ve been inspired by the Steepster Book Club and am watching the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on Netflix right now (the BBC television series, not the movie although I want to see that one too). It really is great if you haven’t seen it, the book is really good too!

Bio

Formally known as mrawlins2

I am a former coffee drinker turned tea lover.

Black tea is probably my favorite type of tea, but I rather enjoy most types… I’m even developing a taste for pu-erh.

Rating Scale:
0-10: This tea is either flavorless or just plain undrinkable. I will avoid these teas in the future.

11-20: I was only able to make it through a few sips before pouring the tea out.

21-30: I may have been able to make it through the first cup but the thought of having another has me cringing.

31-40: Teas in this range are not horrible, but nothing I would seek out in the future.

41-60: Would drink if offered, but would not purchase for myself.

61-70: Okay, nothing special

71-80: Enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for these. Probably would purchase if I found a really great price.

81-90: Pretty good tea, will probably be one of my favorites.

91-95: These teas are really excellent. I wouldn’t necessarily run out and buy more of these (just because there are so many teas out there that I haven’t tried), but I would miss this tea.

96-99: Terrific, very impressive.

100: This special rating is reserved for teas that are absolutely perfect in my opinion. I will only give out a rating of 100 to one tea per category (Earl Grey, unflavored black, dessert tea, Irish Breakfast, etc). These are teas that I really want to have around.

Perfect Teas so Far:

Earl Grey: Saint Isaac’s Blend (Russian Earl Grey) from Upton

Dessert Tea: Marco Polo from Mariage Freres

Unflavored Black: Emperor’s Red from Premium Steap
