New Tasting Notes

Their masala chai is one of the better that I’ve tasted, and I’ve tasted a great many masala chai blends.

Excellent when I need to relax after a frustrating day.
A comment on The Tea Garden itself, though: I am unimpressed with how a professional tea store stores their teas in glass containers and packages teas that customers have bought in bags with plastic windows. Customers can store their own tea however they want, but a store that makes its business out of selling teas should be protecting them properly from light, not just air.

Very smooth! Vanilla always goes well with a rooibus tea.

Adagio does the vanilla rooibus the best, however. Hands down!

I’m not a big fan of Jasmine teas, but this was pretty okay!

I would often mix this in a 1:2 ratio (1 being the peppermint) with Teavana’s Chinese Honey Dew White tea. I had a lot of trouble figuring out exactly how to brew it, considering the significant difference in brewing methods for white teas and tisanes. But when I occasionally did get it just right, I called it my “happiness tea”. It’s been a looong time since I’ve made this blend for myself, though.
I can’t remember how I liked the peppermint tea on its own, though.

The perfect tea for what felt like the first day of spring in Seattle. I love packing this into my portable (loose leaf friendly!) tea container and making the office smell amazing.

About a tablespoon of honey combined with 1/4 cup lime juice and hot water to fill mug. Use this to stave off hunger, drink when bored, and especially useful when I have colds.

I can’t remember having drunk this on its own, but I would often mix this in a 2:1 ratio (2 being the white) with peppermint tea. I had a lot of trouble figuring out exactly how to brew it, considering the significant difference in brewing methods for white teas and tisanes. But when I occasionally did get it just right, I called it my “happiness tea”. It’s been a looong time since I’ve made this blend for myself, though.

Haven’t drunk this in a while, but I remember it being a nice, simple white tea.

Forgot to log yesterday…

I’m not usually a big green tea drinker, but I like this green tea with ginseng. Normally I drink black teas with sweetener, but for this I use only a small amount or sweetener or none at all. The bags are individually wrapped which makes it easier to transport. This was a good tea for drinking on campus while grading homework.

Oolong tea and I have a long and warring history. Pomegranate mixed with this tea is a good mix, though. It evens out all the things I dislike about oolong teas and transforms it into something I really loved!

This is one of the best teas I’ve ever had! :)

One of my favorite flavored green teas. Very refreshing to drink after a long day.

spicy and bitter in all the wrong ways.

Aroma and flavor reminiscent of beef jerky. Not awful, but strange.

Very relaxing. Light apple-like flavor.

A very refreshing tea. It has an interesting flavor that I don’t come across too often.

A delicious and fruity tea blend. Nutty, warm, and sweet. I had to brew it for a lengthened amount of time to really pull strong apple flavors from it.

A very fruity and spicy tea. Strong and energizing.

A very warm and spicy chai. Unlike others I’ve had in that it is sweet on its own.

A very lovely peppermint tea. Refreshing, light, and soothing.

decent bagged tea. will enjoy again!

This is my favorite Celestial Seasonings product by far, and one of the only bagged teas I keep on hand. It’s sweet and smooth and earthy, and it smells incredible. The vanilla flavor is strong and doesn’t taste artificial. It’s great before bedtime. It’s a sweet tea, but I do sweeten it lightly to bring out the vanilla even more.
