4277 Tasting Notes

I usually associate white teas with being dry and fuzzy for some reason. This white tea wasn’t at all, and really let the roses shine. The white tea was plain enough to really let me enjoy the scent and flavor of the roses. Really nice. I usually avoid white teas above others (black, red, green), but I would probably try other Numi white teas in the future.

I love rooibos. This one is delicious. A smooth silky flavor.

Loved the smell of jasmine. It reminded me of lilacs, though I’m not accustomed to the scent of jasmine. Smelled more than it tasted. A good green tea, though green teas aren’t my favorite.

With four different black teas within, I expected this to be much stronger. I expect black teas to have tons of flavor. Maybe the four different teas cancel each other out and you don’t really get to appreciate each one individually. Not a tea I’d seek out in the future but it was nice to try in my Numi sampler!

ETA: And I always leave the tea bag in until I’m completely finished drinking, so it’s not like I took the tea bag out after two seconds!

This didn’t strike me as anything amazing. I thought it was taste great with the cinnamon rolls I had for breakfast. Maybe the cinnamon rolls stole the show.

drank Chai by Good Earth Teas

Now this is the strongest chai I’ve had so far. I love it. It smells up the room.

Have you tried 52teas Mayan Chocolate Chai? Now, that is strong.

No, I haven’t! Onto the shopping list it goes. :D

If you like chocolate and cayenne in your chai, it’s AMAZING!

This doesn’t seem like a strong red tea and there isn’t a strong peach flavor either. I wouldn’t be able to tell you there was peach in it if it didn’t say so on the box.

drank Golden Chai by Numi Organic Tea

I liked this, but it wasn’t as strong as I’d like. I usually drink chai when I want the strongest flavor I can get out of a tea. (And I usually leave a tea bag in until I’ve completely finished drinking.) And I also think there is something going on with me and ginger. I do not dislike ginger but I have a suspicion I’m not exactly allergic but it isn’t good for me to be eating it.

Sad day, I love ginger!

drank Orange Starfruit by Stash Tea

I did not really taste an orange or a starfruit flavor with this one. It’s more like a plain chamomile. Disappointing.

I had no idea what this tea was before I tried it, but it was EXACTLY as I thought it would be. A nice scent and a nice flavor. It also doesn’t get bitter if you boil the water. I think it would be nice if Numi paired honeybush with some kind of melon flavor in another tea.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
