103 Tasting Notes

I have been thinking about this tea since I had a sample cup a few weeks ago. I bought a few ounces today and was very surprised that they still had it in stock since it is a limited edition holiday tea. It is really delicious, and I hope that they bring it back next year.

This is a nice Earl Grey. The bergamot is nicely enhanced by a lemony flavor.

This is like drinking a cough drop. I can’t say that I really like it, but it does the trick with this head cold. I can taste it at least, and it does seem to loosen things up a bit.

I feel the same about that one. Only drink it when I’m sick and feeling sorry for myself.

drank Earl Grey Reserve by Tavalon Tea

I always crave Earl Grey when I have a head cold, and I just opened this. It is a very smooth base, but not quite as much bergamot as I expected. Maybe it is just the cold. I think I will reserve judgment and try it again another time.

An interesting combination of spicy, citrus and floral notes with a smooth oolong base.

This is really delicious. I wasn’t sure about the floral notes combined with chocolate but this is a winner. It does not need sweetener or milk. The milk and sugar in the chocolate is enough.

Light, fruity, sweet and not overpowering. A slight astringency. Tastes like spring time. This is a good one.

This tasted something like hot apple cider. It was a little more sour than hot apple cider and had a little less body. It was okay.
