Popular Tasting Notes

Not bad, but far from the perfect bagged peach tea. I’m not surprised the peach flavor is artificial—it sort of tastes it to me—but it is far from as fake as it could taste. A pretty solid “meh” sort of tea.

Tasted like artificial strawberry. Vanilla was definitely “gentle” as described, to the point of being barely detectable. Good for a strong artificial strawberry flavor, but crosses the line to “too sweet” and puckery at times. Tasted 11.2018.

I don’t really like the original version of Saint-Pétersbourg because the flavouring is too subtle. The flavours are still subtle here but it looks like I don’t mind it as much in a green tea. Beautiful rolled gunpowder leaves.

Three minutes doesn’t seem to be quite long enough of a steep time. The aroma is still pleasant with malty notes, but the tea itself loses fullness.

Yet another green tea we won’t be ordering again. We did like TeaSource’s Pi Lo Chun Imperial—this one is a different story. My aunt said to her it tasted “like food” and when pressed what kind said “frankfurter.” I think it does have a brothy, umani undertone to it. Something in it anyway we don’t really like.

Amazing!! This has been a great day for tea tasting adventures. Smooth, sweet, vanilla and cloves with a nice hint of orange. I thought this was a great tea to end my tea tasting evening with. The BF also loved this tea, I shall now apparently be guarding my stash of it from him…

This is the weirdest tea… I don’t know how many people are familiar with a Chinese pickled radish-y vegetable called dai tau choy, but when I brewed this tea and took a sip, all I could taste was a lingering flavor of dai tau choy. The tea bag smelled like caramel, sweet and malty… but once brewed, there was none of that. Just salty, pickled radish, and me sitting there feeling more and more confused with each sip.

I only had one sample bag of this, so I don’t know if this is just how the tea tastes. But this is definitely the most unique flavor I’ve experienced in a tea.

Love the name – and of course love the pineapple in this. It’s a really fun tea to have iced!
