Popular Tasting Notes

Starting the week out right with some shou pu (deja vu).

Very aromatic without being overpowering. Drunk simply or with the barest hint of sugar, it is nicely balanced.

This one is really growing on me. Definitely one of the better citrus green teas I’ve had.

Son las 11. El horario amerita un té. La pausa son 5 minutos y La Virginia es el té :P

Since quitting coffee I’ve been looking for nice rich teas with strong flavors. I really think this tea fits the bill. The tea part is very high quality and distinctly a puerh. The cinnamon adds a bit of a pep, but doesn’t overpower the actual tea. This is exactly what a flavored tea should be.

This is my favorite brand of Moroccan Mint. The amount of peppermint is perfect!

Pretty good, overall. It shocked me at first how different this was to grapefruit juice! :P

Teavana is the King of Herbal Teas in my experience, but this one was a small disappointment. I believe they were trying for a lemonade experience and definitely succeeded. It was sour, but not badly, and quite citrusy. However, it lacked that “tea” essence and tasted like lemonade-flavored water. However, I only drank it cold. This would make an amazing iced tea.

Used it as an ice tea, with stevia.

I first started with a sample but liked it so much that I ordered a full-size portion immediately. I really enjoy this tea, especially on a cold, rainy morning. I brew at 180 for 5 minutes and stir in a bit of stevia. I have tried with milk as well and like that too but as I drink at my desk at work, I do not often have milk. I needed a change in my daily green tea repertoire and this hits the mark perfectly.

After reading people’s reviews I was nervous to brew this, but I Just took my first sip and I’m very surprised to say that I really like it! I did add a small spoonful of raw agave nectar to help sweeten.
It tastes like a light spicy root beer. I might use it to do a monthly detoxification. :)
