New Tasting Notes

Dark, rich and earthy. A not so delicate, but quite typical Pu erh.

My fourth offering of this tea in two years… this years batch is simply stunning! Light buttery citrus hints in the first steep, followed by subsequent bold grassy notes. Complex and delicious!

I’ve been saving these for a while, having heard good things. I’m having a cup now and it’s amazing!

Was looking for something to drink and there was this sample from Adagio. I opened the container and the aroma wafting up woke up my senses! The hint of chocolate is what first got me. Then after brewing for 5 minutes, the taste was wonderful: rich, creamy and the hint of chocolate. Not for early morning but mid morning or (I can hardly wait) mid afternoon this is too good!!

We took this one to school yesterday and turned it into iced tea for lunch. This stuff is even better cold. Yumm.

Only two cups of tie guan yin last night — this is the last of it until my next shipment from Seven Cups arrives. Hope it’s today.

Last of my lot. Starting to really lose a lot. A good example of how green teas really fade within a year.

I was in the mood for this today. I steep it for 4 minutes and find that it gives me a nice flavor that is neither too strong or bitter. Smells good and has a lovely color. Have about one cup left of the sample so I suppose I need to order a full size seeing as this is one of the only straight (non-flavored) black teas I enjoy.

Still one of my favorite teas of all time. I’m just about through my third sample size of this.. I should probably just suck it up and order a 4 oz.

From yesterday. I’m not sure how I feel about this one. It tastes a LOT like my beloved Mighty Leaf Tropical Green, but the flavors are more muted. I was expecting it to be a lot more flavorful.

five days past Beltane ~ steep a bag of bergamot ~ so to dance again

cold, with soy

Not the best REsteep but still a good tea. When you REsteep it it’s pure oolong taste and smell no 9or VERY little) Vanilla…still good tho

A pretty solid blend, neither flavor is too overpowering. I don’t think it beats Zhi tea Plum Oolong though.

I think I let this steep too long. I’m not really a fan, even though it flowered.

Threw in the whole packet(about 2 handfuls) and boil over low heat. Enough to make 3 cups. I will usually get the roots instead of ginseng’s head as it’s cheaper but doesn’t taste as strong. ✌✌✌

Steeped longer and with more loose leaves present. The aroma is amazing! The taste is good, too! The coloring is quite dark for an oolong. The Vanilla tries to blend in once steeped…not overpowering at all. Nice cup!

Forgot to log from last night…my stash of this stuff is fading fast…ek! MUST order more SOON

home for the day, so i’m back with the good stuff.
