New Tasting Notes

I was excited to get this in the mail from a friend.. until I drank it. I spit it back into the cup. To me, it tasted like an antacid pill. No thank you!

I am a big fan of rooibos, and certainly chai; this one isn’t too bad a blend. Easy and smooth going down, I believe the rooibos helps take the sting out of the chai’s spices. This might be good for people looking for a less-intense chai flavor.

I drank this… unfortunately. bitter, dusty, yuk. This tea is so much crap.

While it’s not the finest chai out there, it’s still tasty. You can easily pick up the smell of the cardamom and ginger, and definitely taste it on the way down. Strong flavor, but still lacking something.. can’t put my finger on what.

again. maltastic.

Love it! You might have to shake/mix it often though because some particles can settle at the bottom.

I couldn’t personally pick out the different flavors in this one.. I just thought it was “fruity” but more in the mixed berry sort of way.. strange, seeing as it’s coconut, a usual favorite of mine! Perhaps it’s just the way this is blended? A nice afternoon tea, or dessert after a filling dinner.

A tea with a nice earthy smell to it, sort of similar to grass, but an easy smooth taste going down.

A misleading tea for me.. scent is pretty light, but I feel the flavor is more robust than other oolong varieties I have had. Has a lasting flavor, sort of nutty, and a little bitter. While it’s not my favorite blend, I do find it enjoyable.

I enjoy this quite a bit, it was one of my first introductions to Oolong and I am certainly glad for it. Has an earthy smell to it, almost musky. Flavor is somewhat strong but by no means overpowering. Very green tasting, though a bit bitter on the way down.

I haven’t really drank this. Is it good?

This is my favorite tea to drink before going to work. It’s very relaxing and I believe it does as describes — it tames my tension. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of agave nectar.

I drank this yesterday too and it’s been teasing me again ever since. I really like this tea. Now I must REALLY order more…I am very low…only a few more table spoons left. I did want to add that this one is good for multiple infusions. I am on my 3rd at the moment…

I bought this from a local tea room this past weekend. It is a very gentle blend, with just the right amount of bergamot and rose.

This is a pretty good tea. The only issues I have with it, are the facts that it a) need a sweetener, and b) the leaf is small enough, that it always falls through my infuser (aka, it needs to be in a filter). Other than that though, it works well for a sweet pick me up in the mornings..

No scent. Average Color. Light flavor for an English Breakfast Tea. Can’t taste the Pomegranate or many if any the other flavors described in the description. Fairly good if steeped extra long.

I just wrote a quick Haiku in honour of this tea:

Time to get up now;
Hug a mug of malty joy:
Assam tea.

The purple color is reason enough to drink this, but I actually enjoy the flavor. I’m not a fan of fruit teas, but with the right temperature and steeping this ends up tasting more floral. Just be careful not to spill on light clothes!

Grabbed a bag of this during my conference Saturday afternoon, because it was the only thing left. Because of the yellow bag, I was expecting chamomile and was instead hit with spearmint. Bleh.

Before I say anything, I need to say that the blueberry flavor in this is STRONG. So strong that my ingenuiTea smelled like blueberries for a week. Aside from that, this is a good tea. Not my favorite blueberry tea, but it’s still very good. I’d definitely recommend it.
