48 Tasting Notes
I like this tea, but I wanted to like it more. I love sugar and sweet things, nothing is too sweet for me. However, when you take a smell of this tea it is really strong. Not necessarily a really strong sweet smell…. There is something else there that just smells .. Offensive. As in, smelled it early in the morning and gagged :( has anyone else noticed this? after brewing it though, it tastes pretty good. Not too extremely strong or sweet and that offending smell isn’t there in the taste. I wish I knew what it was? My boyfriend thought there was a weird smell too ….
Also, I ordered this tea in the rainbow tin collection, emptied the bag into the canister. I can smell this tea from outside of the closed tea cupboard. A little afraid the scent is going to permeate other teas?
Got this in my harney sampler box. This makes me want to like green tea more. It tastes grassy and mellow. I didn’t taste any bitterness. Wanted something light last night and this was pretty nice. I don’t get too excited about green teas cause I lean more towards strong spices and sweet things. But I could see this would be nice to have around for when you need something lighter. I feel healthy and calm drinking it…
Made a very rich, colorful cup of tea that made the house smell really good. Tastes pretty tarte (which I like), a little bitter (which I don’t like), and I would prefer a bit more cinnamon and spice on there. Also not a fan of the little bits that get through my infuser, but tolerable.
Just had a cup of this tea from a sampler pack I bought at Harney’s. sated so-so for me nothing great but not bad. A little bit plain so I added some milk and agave even though it was a pretty light color. I think Darjeeling just might not be my favorite kind of black tea….. ?
Pretty decent tea if it weren’t for the lemon grass. Yuck. For some reason this just doesn’t mix well with the other favors. I like warm spicey chai and I like lemon but not together!! after tasting the lemon grass… It was all I could taste and didn’t really enjoy the tea anymore.
