New Tasting Notes

The smell is really amazing and very strong in vanilla. I can taste the vanilla more in this than the rooibos vanilla. Overall, very pleased.

Irish breakfast tea from a local tea room.

A tasty blend of a several different black teas. Very smooth with almost a note of fruitiness.

NEEDED this to off set some of the awful tea aftertastes I’ve had so far today. I LOVE THIS TEA and I’m almost out of it. Lasted a long time tho! Only about 2 more steeps left

Probably my favorite black flavored tea from Adagio. This stuff just hits the spot.

I can’t get enough of this. It’s so smooth.

I’m neutral on this one. Not too hot on the smell maybe because I’m not a Pina Colada type person. The drink itself is ok. I thought I wouldn’t like it at all but it’s not bad. I don’t really like the aftertaste tho. The color is nice. A vibrant average black tea color – not gloomy like some Chai’s can be.

Yeeee-uh…um…I know I said a while back that this was ok…I changed my mind. By the time I got to the end of the cup I wanted to puke. Gross. BUT…if you are looking for a coffee alternative this may be for you. Still smells gross!

Doesn’t have much in the way of flavour at first, but if it’s been allowed to sit and develop a bit it helps considerably. Floral sort of note to the flavour. Still, it’s good, but it’s not OMG!-good.

perfect way to wake up. mmmm

another cup. I have a problem.

I need to be in the mood for a Darjeeling to have more than middling feelings about them. Today I am in the mood and it tastes yummy. Typically they’re just too dry for me.

After Note: Never mind. Despite the fact that I’m on the second infusion, I’m still getting a fair amount of matcha in my cup. Awesome!

The only detox tea I’ve tried that tastes good.

Light in Color. This is probably one of the most fragrant teas of the MoOT that I have smells so far. You can certainly smell the apples and cinnamon…smells a lot like Hot Cider. It does taste that way tho. The taste is quite fruity. Almost a bit too much for me – I prefer a tea taste with fruit undertones not a full fruit flavor with little or no tea taste. I like the smell of it but not so much on the taste. I will finish the cup but I won’t be making it a point to buy this one. It’s not terrible but it’s not wonderful either.

Loose-leaf shou pu-erh from a somewhat indeterminate source. The only English branding is that of “Tongzhou.” Shou isn’t my favorite, but this particular one is a little softer, sweeter and more delicate than others I’ve had.

This is one of the teas that convinced me that black teas (unless prepaired with more milk and sugar than actual tea) are not for me. I though the drink was way too bitter, and just gross tasting. The rest of this tin will be going to my mom.

Double cup, 4 raw sugar

This brews into a yellow green colored cup. The matcha is pretty thick in the cup, but I can’t really taste much of it. That might just be because I’m not very familiar with matcha, so my taste buds arn’t up to snuff. Overall this is a nice flavor. The roasted rice flavor comes through really nicely, and makes for a really relaxing cup. I suspect that this would handle a second infusion just fine, as long as you don’t really mind that most of the matcha has been steeped away.

Dark in Color. Hint of Cinnamon Scent. Undertones of a few spices. Not over powering. Average Overall Taste. Good for those who like it on the light side of the chai scene.
