79 Tasting Notes
Dragging my feet this morning from a late night at work. Thought I’d try to see if it woke me up.
Tea is pretty bitter, although this is my first black tea. Added a little honey to be able to drink it. Not really feeling anymore awake.
Preparation
I got this with the green tea as opposed to the black tea. Tea is very sweet without adding honey. I added a touch of honey however cause i have a bit of a sore throat. Very smooth and floral without makingit seem like i’m drinking perfume.
Preparation
Wanted something cool and refreshing after spending a few hours out side working on my new bonsai tree (my pet away from my furry one at home). Steeped slightly less than 2 minutes. And threw a bunch of ice cubes in the first cup as i was too impatient to wait for it to cool down.
Havn’t really noticed a change from the last time i drank it. Not really peachy, and i’m afraid i might have burned the leaves again. I really need to get a thermometer once i get to school again.
Preparation
Smells yummy, very strong smell of cloves. This tea tastes slightly of organge, which i’m not such a fan of, but pleasently spicy tea.
Preparation
Orange? Hm. Never got that. 2 chai tasting notes in a row. I think this is a sign I need some. :)
Well i don’t know if it actually is orange, but looks like there are orange peels in it, which it the part of the orange i don’t like.
That is very strange. They really should lable it as a flavored chai if it is one. You should email them. I’d be curious as to what they say.
The smell opening the can nearly overwhelmed me. But not bad as a tea. Very floral and relaxing.
Preparation
Smells Great! Looking forward to trying this.
After steeping though i was a little disappointed. Really am not getting a alot of chocolate in this. I added some milk and sugar to try and bing it out. As it’s cooling i’m getting a little more aftertaste of cocoa but not really the chocoalte i was looking for.
Preparation
I agree… but then again I’ve seen people steep this 8-10 min. Maybe that would be better? Do you have luck sweetening chocolate teas? I find it dumb downs the chocolate instead of amping it.
I think this tea is much better at higher steeping times – give 7-9 minutes a try.
idk this is my first chocolate tea. thanks for the tips
I’d say try it clean, then milk, then milk and sweetener (increase steeping times by a min when adding milk, maybe 2 when adding milk and sweetener).
Also, this tea is more of a dark chocolate/cocoa taste than milk chocolate, so that may be why it isn’t what you’d expect for a chocolate tea.

So First time with matcha. Thought i’d go a little easy on my self and mixed it with some lemonade. I balked at the color of my concoction, and almost I threw it out, but i made myself try some.
Wow! It really tastes alright. Perhaps this is cause i put 1 tsp for 2 cups of lemonade, but the lemon covers up the bitterness of the green tea, and there is a nice subtle strawberry flavor. The green tea makes the leamonade less sour and smoother to drink.
Now to just get over that gross green color.
Preparation
Haha! Matcha lemonade is good. I prefer matcha limeade (green on green so it doesn’t look as gross)- but my favorite way to drink matcha cold (Matcha OJ is unfortunately the grossest looking lol) This matcha is kind of a dull green color. Most matchas are much brighter in color which makes it look less icky.
This is your 1st back tea? Wow!
I should clarify, non fruity black tea. Also i said i was new to drinking tea :P
I’ve found this tea sort of grows on you. Black teas vary in bitterness, so you might find you like some varieties better than others, but I like a little bitterness in a breakfast tea. Somehow it does sort of wake me up. But, then again, I often add milk which softens the bitterness a little. :)
