New Tasting Notes

Had it, iced, from Starbucks. I needed the refreshment.

So pretty.

Second cup of the day…

I’m crazy for drinking this at midnight, but I’m an addict.

Picked this up at the local ‘On the Run’ garage, sort of an upscale version of 711 in Cairo. A step up from the ol’ Lipton standard we’re provided with at work. Just a lil’ somethin’ to make the morning tea a little more delightful.

Incredible. Third infusion, still getting quite a big of flavor. Nearly every other tea I’ve had to date is too weak by the third, but this still really good.

The only thing my aching stomach could tolerate today.

Second Infusion. Surprisingly, I found it to be just as flavorful as the first round. Quite enjoyable, if I do say so m’self.

This tea reminds me of my youth. Cold nights at home with my family. Great decaf tea!!

wonderful!!!!

I really like this tea. Good cheap everyday kinda tea.

Very mango. Makes a wonderful iced tea.

LOVE IT! :) I’m surprised I like this one as much as I do! But…I do!!!!

First loose green tea I’ve ever tried. I know that the casablanca twist is labeled “green” on Adagio’s site but I don’t think it (the casablanca) counts. I’m trying to type this while I drink it, but I keep grabbing the mug for a sip. I think this’ll become a favorite of mine!

One of my favourite Earl Greys.

I steeped for 6 minutes. It’s not a very strong rooibos. It doesn’t have the rich flavor that so many do.

Rinsed 40 secs, then brewed <2mins @ 180°F.

Floral, complex, minimally astringent for a jasmine tea if brewed briefly and gently enough.

I’m impressed with this. I usually don’t go for bagged tea anymore, but my mom made me a cup and I liked it a lot. It doesn’t just taste like peaches. It’s got a lovely almost floral taste to go along with it.

Like I said about the raspberry version, this is good for what it is. (Cheap canned tea.) No sour aftertaste and delicious mango flavor. It actually tastes like it has mango juice in it. I like it a lot, and will definitely be buying it again to drink on the road or at work.

Unusually, I had this with milk so that my colleague would try it. I managed to show him that there really is a difference between this and Darjeeling, which he didn’t believe beforehand

Not a very strong tea taste, but I’m used to that with canned tea drinks. It’s pretty good for what it is. The raspberry flavor is pleasant with the honey and it doesn’t have that sour aftertaste that a lot of canned teas have (*cough*Arizona*cough*). I’d buy it again… it’s nice to have at work since a lot of gas stations carry it.

The Pu-erh in this is subtle but makes it a little more than just a herbal blend. Needs brewing for 5-7 minutes.
