Popular Tasting Notes

though unfortunate mine is not this vintage of 2009…

so a bit weaker though I must note that for a white tea this has held on much longer than I would have expected.

Fruity pleasant taste. Cocos adds an interesting nuance to it. Tea is reddish yellow. Taste goes bitter when it gets cold.

This is a nice rooibos with a nice, not-too-strong apricot flavor and the characteristic body of the rooibos. I like a warm cup of it in the evening to relax.

Decent green oolong, my sample is fairly old, but it’s still drinkable

This one is different than other High Mountain green oolongs I’ve had. First of all, the flavor just keeps going, brew after brew. I get this peachy taste, like the hint of the ripest peach I’ve ever had, or even canned peach (but in a good way). The floral notes also give me a jolt every time I take a sip. Delicious! Truly amazing.

Got this from my aunt in Hong Kong. I have no idea what it says on the tin.

Day #2 of the 2013 advent calendar! I tried this when it was out last year, and I don’t know if the ingredients have changed any, but I like this far more than I remember. And again, I’m enjoying the fact that I have enough of the leaves to make at least two more big mugs. Bravo!

very nice green tea. I like the aroma and the richness of taste.

Very smooth pleasant tea. I enjoyed the aroma of this tea and the flavor is nice as well

This is my favorite Darjeeling tea. It has the flavor I expect in an Indian tea – just the right amount of bite. For a similar taste, but very mild, try the apollotea’s Margaret’s Hope Darjeeling.

Not bad for a flavored and bagged green tea. Tastes mostly like passionfuit and orange though. The green tea can be pretty bitter for a name that suggests such sublteness. Somewhat harsh aftertaste, but it’s not all bad when you add honey to it. But by then it’s mostly just a fuit tea with a hint of jasmine aroma. I recommend a very quick steep at a lower than normal temperature to reduce the harshness.
