New Tasting Notes

This is a black tea with blackberry or blueberry or some berry starting with B. Im pretty sure it was blackberry. but anyway its really really good. its the perfect balance between the black tea the blackberry and cornflowers. i really enjoy this one.

I drink this loose leaf tea at home in the South. Makes a great iced green tea and a nice alternative when suffering from a sweet tea overdose. PLUS it comes from the only tea plantation in the United States. I didn’t know until recently that you can purchase it online. Now I don’t have with(Southern)drawal.

Huge fan of Twinings, and even huger fan of blackcurrent. WIN.

Ok, so it’s not really a “tea” that I “drank”. But I saw this at the store when I got my Tea’s Tea and decided to give it an impulse try. It’s not that good. I saw a recipe for matcha truffles floating around online recently and was hoping this chocolate bar would be in similar taste. It’s not. The chocolate is weak and the green tea filling tastes like baby powder. Plus the green tea is the last ingredient. It’s not even made with matcha. What was I thinking?

Amazing. Favorite cold tea ever. Unsweetened and kissed with the taste of perfection. I could seriously drink these teas all day long.

First try: The leaves (unsteeped) have an amazing aroma, and the tea looks lovely with colorful flower fragments. After steeping, though, it becomes more mediocre. Reminds me of “Mango Mist” from Tealuxe.

Could drink this all day long. In fact, AM drinking this all day long!

Ok, yes, I’m running through my library of tea. This is something completely different from my usual fare. 1 1/2 teaspoons in a 2 cup pot. Steeped 3-4 minutes. Light straw color. Fresh mowed grass smell. Light, tannic, cleansing in the mouth. Best drank hot…as it cools the tannins seem to become overwhelming. A little reheat and its good to go.

Kinda tastes like smoking a cigarette. Not exactly what I look for in a tea, but I kept with it because I needed to wake up. High caffeine levels for a green tea.

An excellent Ceylon. Dark rust red, just a hint of tannins. Good hot, gets better as it cools. I actually like this one when its down to room temp…seems to bring out the tannins a bit more.

This is the first time I have tried Honest Tea Iced Tea. It sure has more GREEN TEA flavor than ANY bottled iced tea I have ever tasted. Or Jasmine for that matter. If you are looking for something different, healthy, or iced tea with a Green Tea and Jasmine KICK…try this

Such a nice breakfast tea.

bagged, not loose. not ideal, i know, but decent for at work. squirt of honey, splash of milk. not quite as strong or spicy as i’d expected, buuut maybe that’s my fault. a nice change from my usual afternoon green tea fix…

yum.

About at the end of my stash. Was sent from friends in India. Very tasty for a day-to-day darjeeling tea.

Steeped a heaping tablespoon in a cup fo water for 2 minutes. Rich, yet smooth, and simply elegant.

Not so great, as Ceylons go. Can be very dusty.

My very favorite flavored black tea (although I prefer it loose).

I had Vegetarian Chili for lunch and pair it with this…nice pair! LOVE IT! Almost out tho
