31 Tasting Notes
Nice tea! It came in my first box of Rosali Tea and I really like the color (opaque, vibrant light green) and the taste (steeped for awhile, about 6 minutes, and it didn’t get too strong, probably because I used a lot of water.) It reminds me a lot of the green tea I had in Japan – subtle, pleasant, and healthy-tasting.
Flavors: Sweet, Vegetal
Preparation
This has a really lovely creamy taste and is a very high-quality tea. The flavor lasted through 3 infusions, which I was really happy with! As you may have guessed, I am partial to oolongs, so I was not disappointed with this tea.
Flavors: Cream, Milk, Smooth
Preparation
My first thought was how surprised I was at how high-quality this tea is. Usually I’ve bought Assam loose leaf in tins from various tea stores and this took my Assam experience up another notch!
I really liked the taste – earthy and smooth, yet not overpowering. Really nice for starting the morning.
Flavors: Earth, Malt, Smoke
Preparation
Siberian Ginseng and ginger definitely come out strongest here, but this tea is really nice and mildly spicy (not overbearing.) I drank it before bed and it tasted good but then I had really intense dreams and wonder if the tea was the cause!
Flavors: Earth, Ginger, Spicy
Preparation
I tried this at a Starbucks in San Francisco. It’s a Teavana tea that’s now being sold under the Starbucks label. I liked it more than I thought I would! It’s really nice in winter and the berry flavor is refreshing.
Flavors: Berry, Fruity, Sweet, Winter Honey
Preparation
I like this tea. It’s usually what I go with when I go to Peet’s. Even when you leave the bag in for a long time it’s not overwhelming. I’ve bought it a few times to have at home too.
Flavors: Green, Jasmine
Preparation
This is the perfect tea for a ladies’ tea party I think! It’s creamy and full of vanilla sweetness, while the floral osmanthus makes you feel like you’re drinking a bouquet. I loved it!
Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Flowers, Honey, Rooibos, Sweet, Vanilla
Preparation
I tried this tea at a cafe and really enjoyed it. It’s strong and spicy and perfect for a really cold day. Cinnamon is really apparent on the nose and also very present in the sweetness, but the spicy ginger balances it so that the taste isn’t overwhelmingly sweet.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Citrus Zest, Clove, Honey, Spices
Preparation
Yum! I love having this after dinner because it tastes just like dessert without the guilt. Therefore I particularly enjoy having it with some vanilla ice cream!
Flavors: Dark Chocolate, Dirt, Earth
