630 Tasting Notes

I enjoyed this a lot. I steeped it three times, and each time it did not become bitter. The jasmine is present but not overwhelming, and has a nice green crispness to it that most greens have to me. I will definitely have to check out more by this brand for my teabag needs!

I was less than impressed with this one. Very orangey, which was nice, but completely lacking on the spice! It had great potential but fell very flat, even for a teabag.

I found this tea to be rather plain. It tastes like very typical green tea to me, though errs on the side of seaweed-y rather than nutty or anything. It holds up to 3-4 steeps pretty well. But compared to many others, it seems to lack some complexity to me.

drank Vanilla by Adagio Teas

This one is no frills. It tastes like average quality black tea with well balanced vanilla flavor. It is very nice, doesn’t rock my world. I think it would be good for people who just want an easy to drink hot beverage on a cold day.

Fruity is right on the money with this one! I am absolutely terrible at describing the nuanced flavors, but this one screams fruit. There is a lot of natural sweetness and a bit of citrus. Big fan!

This has a strong jasmine scent, but I am glad of that, given the name. It holds up well to multiple infusions, and the jasmine scent does not dissipate all that much between each. I found it also has a bit of sweetness, which balances out it’s perfume a bit.

This is a very interesting tea that I enjoyed very much. I have never prepared black tea in this style with multiple steepings before, and this one is delicious to start with! Each infusion had something different to offer.

This tea delivers exactly what is promised based on the description. It is flavorful, very veggie, and some sweetness. I enjoyed it a lot, and infused it 4 times. I did not have time before bed to see if it would hold up to more!

I enjoyed this tea, but sort of wish I had enjoyed it before trying my high grade sample. The high grade was easily one of the tastiest oolongs I have ever had, and by comparison this one is very good, but not as good as that one!

Now a certified teacher, beginning my first year in third grade this fall. I have been involved in the tea world about 5 years now. In that time, I have learned so much, and am hoping to learn even more by joining the steepster community.

In my non-tea times, I am usually watching netflix while writing lesson plans, cuddling my two kitties, or trying to find new things to do in a town that is sometimes a bit limited!
