Btw, just wanted to add that this loose leaf smells like Pop Rocks! Awesomeness in a bag.

Very smooth and wonderful fruity flavor without being overly sweet. The pineapple and strawberry flavors are just barely peeking through for a great hint of sweet goodness. Steeped for 4-5 mins, but I think I may have used too little tea so it is a little weaker than I would expect (should have used more tea or steeped a couple minutes longer). Also, as a side note that may have affected my tasting, I had a handful of rainbow nerds shortly before my cup of tea…interesting way to approach a fruity tea tasting :)

Smooth and buttery and smells just like melted caramel. Yum! Having it warm but would love to try it cold with the milk and sugar.

Sweet smoky flavor with a little maltyness. Stands up to the heaviness of the food (served as a lunch tea). The flavors stay with you for a little while after you swallow, keeping the sweetness on your palate.

Another pot and a little more subdued, I like it.

Good clean taste. Smooth but with a slight kick at the end.

drank Almond Cookies by Subtle Tea
115 tasting notes

It tastes pretty much exactly how the name describes it, like almond cookies. Really distinct almond and coconut flavors. Good, not as good as other almond and/or coconut flavored teas I’ve had, but good. The tea is a little watery, but I am starting to think that most of the teas from Subtle Tea are a little on the watery side. That was a little surprising for me, especially since I steeped it for 7+ minutes. Nevertheless, still enjoyable.

Really nice and flavorful black tea. Not heavy at all but smooth and crazy flavor. The combo of coconut, cocoa nibs and vanilla work together expertly. Also I quite successfully complimented the tea with a chocolate chip and walnut scone and some intriguing discussion…perfection. Great experience overall.

A calm and soothing flavor. Very delicate green tea and apricot flavor. I would prefer the taste to come through a little more forcefully, but the subtlety is nice and relaxing.

UPDATE: As of 2020, we have sold Steepster to Adagio Teas. Going forward, we will not have any involvement in the operation or development of Steepster but believe it to be in good hands. If you have any questions or urgent issues, please contact [email protected].

I’m one of the original creators of Steepster!

My favorites are greens and oolongs but I’m open to pretty much anything (although I’m still working my way through pu-erh). Either way, any tea that expands my tastes, teaches me something, or promotes a love of tea is a winner in my book.
