Popular Tasting Notes

I recently did a gong fu style brewing of this tea, and I must say that after preparing it western style originally, it definitely has more flavor and character when prepared in the gong fu style.

It’s not a bad tea, but it tastes a bit artificial. To me the mint kind of overpowers the chocolate and rooibos, but as it cools you taste more of the chocolate.

Puttabong/Tukvar is one of the biggest tea estates in the Darjeeling area. They treat their workers well, and their teas are excellent. To rate their second flush tea however one needs to approach it on a yearly basis, as it will differ from year to year. I can say from personal experience however that their 1st flush, 2nd flush, 2nd flush tippy, and autumnal teas from 2012 were all exceptional. I found their green tea and hand rolled oolong to be lacking this year however.

The absolute best “Earl Grey” I’ve ever tasted! I drink it black with a fair amount of raw sugar. Decaf is a plus, since I do caffeine so rarely. I can enjoy this one without bouncing off walls!

Both of my boys love to eat pumpkin pie so I figured this would be a family hit. It was a nice holiday treat. I like how the chunks of fruit give a strong pumpkin taste without overpowering the tea flavor like so many pumpkin spice teas tend to do.

Initial taste test demonstrates this tea be reminiscent of ginger milk tea from the teahouse I used to go to after english classes at the college where I did my technical degree.
Moreover the taste of hot shamomille is like the home remedy I still use for having caught a cold. While this is not an everyday tea, you will be hard pressed to find fault with it as a general restorative.

I really liked this. I usually have plain black tea in the morning but this one has a little something extra, the flavours of peach and jasmine. The only thing I dislike about these is they need to be made in four cups of water so you can’t make a single cup for yourself. It made two full cups for me, so I saved the rest for later. Yummy! The bloom was interesting to watch to!

This is so much better with milk!! That’s the only way I’m drinking it from now on. With milk, it’s not so overwhelmingly floral.

I love this version of Dragon Well! It’s buttery and delicious, and for some reason has a hint of pistachio nut in the flavor. Tastes more like a snack than a tea. Highly recommend!

Awesome. I brew this tea with a single “family sized” tea bag. Much more convenient than 8 lipton teabags hanging out. After cooling for an hour or so, I pour the tea into a pitcher and into the fridge. I don’t dilute it. The concentrated tea works well with ice and some simple syrup. Economical (totally cheap). Once I get my hands on a better pitcher, I will try a cold brew in the fridge…

I loved this with some milk and splenda omg its delicious!!!

Ursula’s evil blend of blackberry, pomegranate, and hibiscus. This tea is accented by sweet-tart rose hips for a little extra zing.
