Popular Tasting Notes

‘Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.’
Robert Frost

A taste of worlds burning, and the cold void of space. Two opposing forces balanced in perfect harmony. The burn of spice on the tongue, and then the cool and lingering chill of mint afterwards.

I am all about finding the best teas on a budget – and this is cheap but surprisingly mellow and savory, especially if you “over steep” it. Good cold too and smells absolutely lovely. Definitely a “recession delight”….!

So soothing on my sore throat! Just what I needed. Like with Boyd, I didn’t know quite what to expect. The floral lightness and vanilla warmth are in contrast with the crisp mint. The tea tastes like a soft, melting, after meal mint that lingers. It’s lovely.

It’s alright. The black tea is nondescript, but fine – tastes typical of non-premium bagged black tea. The rum aroma and flavor is strong, and there is just a hint of vanilla flavor. It would probably taste good mixed with a chai.

I love matcha, but something about David’s Vanilla Matcha is just a bit off. It seems to be the coconut, which is really throwing off the flavor. Not terrible, but definitely not my favorite matcha.

Almonds rule! The nearest thing to eating a frangipane without having one in the house is drinking this tea. The sweet almond fragrance which is wonderful in the nose doesn´t disappear when steeping the tea, and for once, it´s a green tea which can keep my attention when hot. As far as I´m concerned, a solid aromatised tea.

Old Dragon Well from floatingleaves.com. Still pretty good even though it’s over a year old. I got 4 decent steeps from it.

So besides the obvious reasons for me trying out this tea…ahem…I was pleasantly surprised with the taste! I was a little afraid of the cardamom (don’t really enjoy the flavor), but it wasn’t too strong. A little licorice flavored, but over all it was a really nice blend. Great for bedtime!

Picked this up today for lunch. It’s a little too sweet for my taste and although I am usually a huge fan of mint in my tea, I did not like the spearmint undertones of it. I wasn’t expecting much from it though so it was pleasant for a one time try but I don’t think I’ll be getting it again any time soon.

3 cups – as is. Tremendous if steeped a little longer – that is if you like it stronger like me!

I received this as a gift – my first oolong and it’s a wonderful, full-flavored tea.
