Popular Tasting Notes

Lovely. First time I’ve had Pu-Er so I’m not sure how it compares. Had it as a sample at their store, so I have no idea about brewing. Slight tannin taste, mother hated it, rather strong tea. Very earthy, very lovely. Didn’t buy since I wanted to buy other teas, but it’s very nice. Would recommend!

got a sample of this- so quick impressions

the cinnamon in this is pretty present like a spicyness to the whole tea… while i didnt really like the taste i felt it did live up to the name as it was rather relaxing

couldn’t really say if it was good or bad as i dont drink chai teas, but the cinnamon is what really stands out.. so if thats your thing you might like this.

(i rated this low because i didnt like the taste, moved it up a bit cuz it was relaxing)

This tea is pretty to look at with the miniature roses, but that’s about it. It’s sickeningly floral. Couldn’t stand it and it gave me a headache.

I enjoy the general spice that this tea offers, although it leaves a bit of an after taste on my tongue.

I’m still relatively new to the world of tea, and just began exploring white tea as everything I read led me to believe it was an acquired taste. I also don’t like strong tea, but do like it to have a lot of flavor and wasn’t sure I’d like the “delicate” taste of white tea.

Anyway… that’s my “caveat” to this review!

The first white I tried (a couple of days ago) was Adagio’s White Peony. I liked it well enough and thought it could even grow on me. Tonight I tried the White Symphony, and wow!

I used the directed two heaping teaspoons. The package instructions say 195 degrees F (and that’s what I did with the White Peony), but I dropped this one to 185 degrees (the setting for white on my electric kettle. I’ll have to try the White Peony again at the lower temperature.

My impression is not grassy or vegetal at all (something I definitely haven’t acquired a taste for). It has a very subtle and pleasant floral aroma, but does not taste “perfumey.” There is NO astringency at all – I’ve not experienced that before with tea. No aftertaste, which I assume has something to do with the lack of astringency.

It is very slightly fruity and reminds me of the nectar we used to suck out of field clover as a child (perhaps what others describe as honeydew).

I like my tea with what is probably a sacrilegious amount of table sugar (8 oz of black tea get 1.5-2 tsp). This cup got only 1 tsp and I think I might still like it with even half that.

Great introduction to white tea!

As iced tea mixers go, this one is well crafted. A little too sweet tasting at first, but it remains flavorful and balanced all the way through.

I enjoy trying out fancy loose-leaf teas- earl grey is certainly my favourite black tea. But at the end of the day, when I come back to a cup of Bigelow’s earl grey after all those fancy loose-leafs, I don’t feel like my tea quality has dropped.

Chocolate and peppermint…in a tea?! This sounds more like a coffee delight. The aroma of this tea is intoxicating, but I was hoping for a bit more peppermint. The balance of chocolate and peppermint is good; just my personal preference that I would want a stronger mint flavor.

Strong Bergamot flavour. One of my favourite Earl Greys, but be careful not to brew this one for too long. It is very easy to overbrew this one, and it will go very bitter.
