New Tasting Notes

It creamy and smooth, very pleasant!

This tea is the one that introduced me to 52 Teas, and that in itself is enough to make me like it. But it’s also a great cuppa that makes my whole office smell nice.

I made this decaf, as I did with Blueberry Bliss earlier this morning.

After several attempts to have the Tevana guy give me a rooibos that wasn’t sweet we landed here. It smelled really awesome, coconut and almond, but I was worried it would be too tropical and fruity. Actually it was sort of spicy due to the ginger and cinnamon and there was not a lot of fruit tang. Win!

Coppery color is an understatement – This tea is red! Super good for you though and great to mix with other teas. Again, I found this guy at Cub Foods. Great deal for rooibos tea.

A big mug of this to start my Monday morning. I’m not too keen on black teas but I can tolerate this one because of the strawberry flavoring. Now that I think of it, most of the black teas I do drink have some flavor to them. I taste the strawberry more in the aftertaste which is fine. I let it steep for 5 minutes when I normally do 4, so it is slightly stronger than I like.

Super cheap, but actually really good! I found this tea at Cub Foods of all places.

Last of this lot. Was starting to get a little spinach character.

yom. I just had a little of it cold in the cup my gf got me.

Monday morning is not a time to court uncertainty, so I appreciate the consistent results I get with this bagged tea — and it’s delicious. This has flavoring added, but it is done well. Oolong wonderfulness in a sachet? My answer is yes.

Shake the teabag at each corner, to inflate the pyramid. Pour the water as soon as it’s boiled. Give it about 30 seconds. Take the teabag out. Add some milk straight from the fridge.

I’m not to hot on the smell of this…you can smell the spice and caramel but that’s about it. The taste isn’t as bad. Not sure if I want to give it a thumbs up but I certainly don’t think it’s bad enough to give it a thumbs down…

As usual, Nilgiri for breakfast. Some things never change…

I have found (another) reason to wake up in the morning! This tea is an invitation to get going…in any endeavor I choose. It’s flavor is alive and soothing at the same time. I think the technical term that "professional"" tea tasters use is: “yummy!”

It was such a beautiful weekend and the weather was almost tropical-like – and I live in the snow belt! lol – anyhow…back to the old grind on a Monday and wanted that Tropical Feeling so I started with this tea today…yum…

A simple British ‘cuppa’ – strong, bright, restorative.

I first tried this tea when visiting Maine a few years ago. Now it’s one of my staples. It’s a nice taste of spring in the winter, and the perfect cuppa once the temperatures start rising.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite morning teas, though I’m not sure that it will ever displace my lapsang/pu-erh custom blend.

i clean the stove while it brewed, so it was a little cold, but it was great otherwise. my first try.

I’ve been drinking so much sencha lately that I took the plunge and bought a kyuusu. It’s taken me a couple of goes to get the brew exactly as I like it but I think I’m going to love using it for this tea. A special tea pot for a favourite tea.

Made this tea to help my scratchy throat and wake me up a bit this morning. Feeling under the weather, so I’ll add more sugar than usual. I enjoy this tea but can never taste as much ginger as I expect to from it.

Phone went again during brewing! Added some milk and still very nice
