New Tasting Notes

Not my normal afternoon tea as I’m an orthodox tea junkie really, but I had some knocking around and wanted to remind myself what it was like and check the quality of the sample etc.
Definitely needs milk owing to the CTC, but long lasting aromatics floating around in the flavour too from the orthodox blended in, so it tastes of more than just strong tea. Sweet, malty finish, and solid dependable flavour

Nice and hardy! Perfect for waking up or that extra boost in the afternoon.

I’ve let my basket of liu an age for three years now and it’s a marvelous variant on the pu-erh taste, with more of a nettle-like tingle. Delicious!

Very nice, with a mild Darjeeling quality.

This was tasty. The jasmine is present, but not extremely noticeable; the orange really takes over. It’s a very subtle, creamy orange taste, though. Almost like a creamsicle. I bought a very small sample from Whole Foods. Need to buy more.

Hated this at first – something about the taste was very synthetic. But maybe I just steeped incorrectly or something, because I’m really enjoying it lately. Very sweet, burnt sugar taste without being cloying.

Very simple black tea. Has a more grassy flavor than most. Not super exciting, but gets me my caffeine.

It’s got a very subtle pom flavor.

Very Dark in Color. Barely-There Caramel Scent. Average Tea Taste…can’t really taste the Raspberry or the Caramel. Tastes ok as a tea but not so much with the other tastes…depends on what you look for I guess. I’ll still give it a thumbs up because it’s pleasant but if you are looking for the flavors…turn the thumb upside down.

Light fruity decadent and refreshing. A detoxifing tea ready to enjoy iced or hot.

Btw, just wanted to add that this loose leaf smells like Pop Rocks! Awesomeness in a bag.

This tea has a very full and warm flavor. It is almost malty. I like adding a bit of vanilla sugar to make it even more decadent. I steep for about 4 minutes.

This tea has an almost cloyingly sweet aroma, but it is delicious. The candied violet pieces sweeten the tea so I rarely ever reach for sugar or honey when steeping. I steep it for about 3 minutes. Any longer and the flavors become a tad bitter.

Last of my stash of this

Oh, how I adore this tea!

With Soy Milk and Agave sweetner this is the tastiest beverage around.

I always loved oolongs. This tops the bunch. I didnt think I could pull notes from a tea like this before.
