New Tasting Notes

A bit lighter in color than most other black teas…this was a repeat visit for this one…which I enjoy!

Thumbs up. Nice, true Chai color. Not complex but it does the job!

This is a good every day tea. Balanced flavors, the peach is nice and not overwhelming, and there’s just the right amount of ginger.

I love the smokey flavor of this tea.

Still smells better than it tastes. Kind of like Fruit Loops.

When I bought this I wondered how it was possible to make a white fruit blend without overpowering the white tea. It is, however, entirely possible. I wouldn’t say it tasted particularly fruity. Most of what I can taste is the white tea, but it’s got a fruity sort of after-taste instead which I find much more pleasant than had it been a stronger more full-bodied fruit flavour.

Tastes like Hot Water. No flavor – No Scent. Not a tea in my book.

It’s decent, but I’ve had better lychee teas. It’s definitely drinkable, but as with many teas from The Tea Table, the flavor is just a bit off.

This was my first oolong, and I really liked it. This is the only tea that I will probably buy again from this particular brand. Recommended.

Not bad, not amazing.

It’s okay. A typical jasmine tasting tea. I don’t care much for jasmine, but this is a very pretty tea.

Delicious drunk straight from the spout of my Yixing teapot.

Nummy, Nummy.

This is a very light tea, with a surprising true green color — I wasn’t sure what was going on when I pulled out the leaves and the tea was this pale green color. I like it a lot; it’s a little lighter than most other senchas and the flavor is very light.

It was a quick fix because my REDICU-HUGE tea collection is living in my new house without me. It was good. Whole leaf tea, pyramid bag. You know. It was…….acceptable.

I’m looking forward to drinking this tomorrow morning because the smell perks me right up. I’m considering leaving some lying around like potpourri.

Off the nose, at first, it is distinctly “perfumey.” After letting it sit for a moment, it moved into more a potpourri with lavender and rose smell. The tea is enjoyable and actually tastes how I would imagine potpourri would taste like. With a light finish, get relaxed has a spiced undertone to it. The rose flavor is very slight. Like sugarbloodsucker said, the lavender is very strong.

Steeped 7 minutes in 180 degree water.

Love this tea! It has such a warm cinnamony-vanilla flavor. You can even taste a hint of rum. It’s perfect on cold nights or after dinner with cream. I’d even venture to say this would be great with vanilla ice cream.

They’re not kidding about the umami with this one; it’s super-aromatic with a thick mouthfeel, and the best I can describe it is as bracing. Definitely not for those who prefer more delicate flavors, but I could see this being a lifesaver on a cold winter morning.

This has been one of my favorite winter harvest oolongs since i tried it in 2007.
Too bad I didn’t stock up on it before it sold out. Very easy to brew and lasts many infusions. The 2007 seemed a bit more balanced.

Prepared in a small glass teapot. Tea has rich, smoky flavor to the casual sip, followed by a distinct sweet after taste.

Enjoying my first cup. Very nice golden liquor. I was afraid of a strong peach flavor, but the product is a very delicate fruit taste. This will be a nice evening tea. Perhaps I’ll ice it when it warms up.
