This stuff is great iced!

Almond-flavored tea always sounds better than it tastes for me. This particular one isn’t bad, especially when paired with the vanilla Kashi cereal I had right before, but almond tea just ain’t my thang.

I had this per BenC’s recommendation at Radiance Tea House, and it was amazing! It was harvested just a few weeks ago. It’s smoother, more delicate than other dragonwells I’ve had, and it gets sweeter over time. Expensive, yes ($20+ for a pot), but definitely worth a try. If you’re in NYC, head over to Radiance with a friend. You won’t regret it.

This wasn’t bad, but I think it had a little too much going on. There are much tastier teas on the Radiance menu.

I had this with my friend Ian today. At first, it tasted like it was scented with blueberries, before I found out it was passion fruit instead. It’s got a very delicate flavor, and the fruit is subtle but amazing. Highly recommended.

Perfect after a somewhat heavy sushi lunch.

I’ve tried this a few times and today was probably my best experience with it. You can smell the cardamom and ginger from pretty far away, and the spice is there, but not overpowering. It tastes slightly medicinal, but not necessarily in a bad way if it that makes any sense at all.

Ah Golden Yunnan, I can always count on your malty goodness.

Had one last cup at Amai Tea and Bake House’s last day in New York. Will miss this tea spot dearly.
