New Tasting Notes

Delicious, the Mate was subtle and and the Kava leaves your tongue and lips slightly numb. It also steeped cloudy.

Very light ‘green tea’ taste. Not too overwhelming.

Dark and full, not bitter. I enjoy this tea in the morning. Great substitution for coffee.

This is one of my absolute favorite teas. Fragrant, slightly fruity, soft on the palate and none of the typical oolong aftertaste. So delicious!

There are little chocolate chips in this blend, along with marigold petals and apricot flavoring. This tea seems to get bitter really fast. Boiling water + 1 minute and it’s got a bite. I’ll have to try a lower temperature.

Add milk and honey and this is a real treat. It calms the bitterness and brings out the sweetness of the tea.

Very forgiving oolong. We used our small red Yixing teapot, and did four infusions. The leaves can probably handle one or two more before the flavor will fall off. Leaves a nice taste in the mouth long after you’ve put down the teacup.

Not too bad; about as much as you can expect from a green tea with no fillers.

Very nice blend of fruits and white tea. Even overbrewed, it’s pretty good but bitter. (I tried this at a restaurant and they overbrewed it… but what’s new?)

Delicious! The mint helps leave a clean finish on this mixed black-green-bergamot-mint teea.

This tea is so soothing. I love drinking it after a long day; it’s sweet, soft and calming.

Our usual brew: 7 grams in our 700ml Hario glass teapot. Boiling water for 5 minutes. Lovely.

A little too sweet for me, but a nice change.

Just opened our last 100g package. I’ll have to either visit Japan again, or switch back to Harney & Sons Sencha. Oh, the agony of it all.

This sucks stinky nasty ass!

Never mind..it’s awesome

1 Cup down, 1.5 cups to go. I have this HuesNBrews Teapot which rocks my world.

Tea with attitude (and altitude). I like the idea of “Damn Fine Tea.” Damn fine packaging too. This is the first Nepal tea I’ve tasted and it reminds me a lot of a darjeeling I have in my cupboard. The recommended steep time was 3 minutes, and I let it sit about a minute too long…
