Popular Tasting Notes
So yes major backlog!
I’m sorry my little kettles, for being a ghost.
Also I had to spring clean my tea ….sadly. The queen of teas had to retire some where they can only reside in my memory . that is OK. Nothing lasts forever. Especially with tea it is all about the moment. It is the perfect blend of thing/experience to get philosophical
Sometimes you have to give up a tea forever or just once a year. So never take it for granted.

I love this smell like candy. Melon. Summer.
Of course I drink it hot first. I’m a hot girl what can I say.
Iced later I promise.
Brewed smells like heaven melon. Mouth watering.
Smells like soap from the body shop. A good thing I’m sure.
Tastes nice. Tastes refreshing.can’t wait to ice it

Golden Monkey is and has been my favorite black tea for a while, although the frequency that I drink blacks has gone down a lot. The brew has a light sweetness with a few light citrus notes to it and a nice lingering aftertaste for a second or two after each sip. As others have mentioned it also makes a great ice tea the times that I’ve made it iced although I mainly drink it hot.
Preparation
This one is lovely. Again, this one was bought for me as a gift from a friend.
I love this one. I probably could have made it stronger this time, but I didn’t. I only have so much here at work with me. But it is so refreshing which is good ‘cause I’m thirsty.
This one brews the colour of apple juice almost. And it has a lovely combo of strawberry and lemonade. And what’s nice is the lemonade isn’t too tart like lemonade can sometimes be.
I’ll be sad when this one is gone. I’ll have to enjoy it a little at a time.
A fine balance between fruit and herb is achieved in this tea. The scent is of orange, lemon, and of course, lavender and sage. What a wonderful, innovative, invention for a tisane! The only reason for the lower rating is because I only got one full flavor steeping out of it.
This tea blends well with other Teavana teas, especially the Yin Zhen pearls, Spice of Life, and Azteca Fire.
Steeped one tablespoon of tea for forty-five seconds in a 4oz gaiwan using water with fish eyes for five good infusions. Aroma was floral at first, leveling out in later infusions. The flavor, which was slightly fruity and nutty, reached its peak with the second and third infusions. Good tea.
