New Tasting Notes

No scent. Nice light honey color. Gentle taste. Delightful.

Double cup, 2 Truvia

Drank it at work on a rainy day

I had the Aged Earl Grey: Fair Trade Certified™, Certified Organic Italian Bergamot Black Tea. Steeping for 3 minutes (3-5 recommended) produced a perfect cup of tea. I’m not typically an Earl Grey drinker. It is usually too bitter for my tastes. This cup was delightful. The bergamot was not too strong.

Another cup – just because

classic da hong pao flavour, one of my favourite oolongs

still great, looking forward to the new batches

To follow the bacon sandwich with worcester sauce. Mmmmmm.

Pale, rosy amber liquor, and I love the fragrance. This cup is astringent, but not bitter, so for a change I didn’t add milk, only a little brown sugar. Usually when drinking a Darjeeling, I have moments of wishing it was a rounder, maltier Assam-type, but this time, not so much.

Steeped longer today. Still a good cuppa. I can really pick out the Rooibos today! YAY!

I’ve had this in the cupboard for a few months and I think it’s lost some of its flavour. The jasmine is still there, but I can’t taste the fruit. I think I’ll get some more before I make up my mind about this one.

The phone rang and I managed to overbrew it. Slightly bitter, but still drinkable. It’s a very forgiving tea

Nice and strong. Needed it after getting home late from the gig last night

Sometimes you just need instant gratification.

Wakey wakey, brain…

No it’s not the OS (a Mac joke). A very sweet and flavorful tea. Light and refreshing on the palate. Dispels the myth, that you can’t drink tea on a hot day( it was 85 today). Prepped in glass gaiwan, I like to watch the leaves “dance” as the open up. Kept water at 170 degrees, 2 teaspoons , 6 oz gaiwan yielded 4 steepings.

A little less minty than I prefer, but heady and soothing enough for an evening cup.

Has an unusual mixture of berry flavor and something that tastes like oats to me. It’s not bad.

I liked this one, it was very mild, but had a pleasant taste and smell. I guess I usually prefer my teas a little stronger. Maybe I’ll let it steep more next time.

This tea is what got me through a job where I had to be at work at 7:45 AM to make change and write receipts.
