I’ve had a few cups of this tea, but haven’t logged it yet because I couldn’t find the words to describe this tea. BUT, I have finally figured out what this tea reminds me of: Adagio’s Cream tea – except this is the older, more sophisticated version. Although this is the weakest flavored tea that I’ve tried so far from Tea Guys, I really adore this tea. There is a definite maple syrup aspect to the tea that comes through primarily in the aroma of the tea. The maple flavor IS present in the taste of the tea, but it is a bit more subdued and creamier than I would have expected. 3 out of 3 winners from Tea Guys!
This is You :-D

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
