lolainred drank Golden Orchid by Whispering Pines Tea Company

127 tasting notes

gahhhh… this tea. I got my package from Whispering Pines Tea Company today and this was the first I tried out of my order. The dry leaves smell absolutely heavenly. Like decadent chocolate. I wanted to eat them, but I bet they would not have tasted the way my mind thought they would. haha.

The steeped liquid smells much more subtly of chocolate, and the chocolate flavor is also deliciously subtle. This tea was love at first sip. I will be savoring this and adding it to my must always have or I will cry list.

Preparation

Bio

The first time I tried loose leaf tea at home, I was hooked. I’ve been drinking tea for years now, though I still feel like such a newbie in the world of teas. There are so many things I’ve never tried from so many new to me companies!

I used to be very much a black tea drinker, but have started, in the last year, to realize that I prefer the lightness of greens and whites much more.

That said, I will basically try any tea once (probably twice, just in case)!

My review categories:
100-94: I never want to run out of these!
93-80: Restock please!
79-60: Definitely like, but not a must have
59-50: Not lovin’ it, but I’d drink it again
49 & below: nope, Nope, NOPE.
