Popular Tasting Notes

I just used this for a staff tea party at my work and it was a big hit! I am actually not a huge fan of the flavor, but the flower that blooms is wonderful! The picture doesn’t do it justice. I also showed some children this tea and they thought it was magic. It really is lovely. Even though I didn’t love the taste, the ladies at my work did (or were perhaps being polite) so that’s a win. Try out this tea! I liked it more than other flowering teas I’ve tried.

We both liked this one. Sweet. Definitely will purchase.

I’ve been drinking this one in the morning for the past week now. Each time I make it, it’s a little different, but it hasn’t been as good as I remember it when I drank it last. But, since I’ve also been running late as well, I haven’t really been patient with timing. It’s more like, wake up, put the water on, shower, pour tea, get dressed, remove tea bag, add milk and sugar, and then head out the door. I’m kind of curious as to what kind of time duration my getting dressed actually ends up being. It feels like 2 minutes, but I’m sure it’s more like 5. Maybe I will time myself someday…

first few infusions taste the way rich earth smells after rain, kumquat rind, pea sprouts, margerine, notes of pecorino and mandarin juice in the finish

smells like peach juice, dried apricot, grapefruit juice, cranberry, leather

dry cup smells like orchids, raw almonds and dark honey

3rd 4th 5th infusions taste of green bean, edamame, buttercup, lilypad flowers, notes of toffee and butter in the finish

wet leaf smells of hyacinths and apples recently fallen from a tree on a rainy day

final infusions taste of aloe, saplings, reeds, honeyed tonic water, light toffee finish

maple sap and wet linen on the nose

A really flavorful chai but not overwhelmingly spicy. I think I like this more than the average chai.

Very tart. In a good way. Can easily brew twice.

Sour and fruity.

I have so many good memories associated with this tea, and really like that it isn’t too fruity despite the strong peach scent it gives off when dry.

a nice solid oolong with roasted flavor. some astringency.

Good tasting tea! It’s very similar to the Arizona Ginseng Green Tea but sweeter. I actually prefer my teas to be less sweet, and that’s why I didn’t give this a perfect rating. But I can imagine that this would be a great tea to have with food.
