New Tasting Notes

It’s been a few days since I’ve logged anything, hmm.

This is a damn good cup of Earl Grey. It’s not my favorite (okay, it’s my second-favorite), but it’s the Earl Grey I drink every day. Good balance, not too much bergamot, nice and full-flavored.

I honestly didn’t like this one when I first tried it. It is indeed bold and, as a result, I find where it really shines is during its second infusion. Tastes even better when it’s cooled down a bit.

Had this in bagged form at L’asso. Much better than I was expecting. I’d put a box of this in my bag for emergencies.

I wasn’t too keen on trying this one, ’cause in the container, it smells like a horse. However, the tea itself smells only of tea and tastes lovely. A little weaker in flavor than I expected based on its color, but still very good.

A lovely fruity flavor and aroma – rich color – a wonderful tea at any time of the day, but especially the evening.

Brewed too long again.

This tea from what i hear is in its natural state with the milk scent. Its refreshingly delicious.

I love this tea! A coworker of mine drinks it and occasionally shares a few bags. It always makes my day!

This is a pretty solid black tea. Nothing exceptional, but still good.

Forgot to log this last night. While I only had one cup, I brewed up two full pots to put in a jar to make iced tea. It makes for a good cold tea and is quite refreshing. An interesting experiment I tried a while back was crushing up a mint Altoid and mixing it into a bottle of this iced tea. It gives it a bit of a kick.

another from a colleague. a very good cup of green tea!

This suddenly appeared in the tea stash at work today. Not awful, but nothing to write home about.

I love Earl Grey. I don’t love this. It’s all bergamot and no black tea. It’s sort of like drinking a hot piece of lemon cake. I’ll definitely drink it when I’m craving something lemony but not sweet, but I won’t be drinking it as an Earl Grey.

accidentally oversteeped a ton, but still good

I still have to make up my mind about this. It reminds me of cookies from the Greek bakery in my neighborhood. Hmm ….

Very nice light fruit flavor. Added a little honey
