16 Tasting Notes
For a bagged tea this is a really good tea.. I like the extra orange I get.. A smooth tea with a great liquor and cup note (smell). This is one i would take with me when going out of town or over to some ones house to have a good cup..
Preparation
this s a Awesome Oolong.. I Brewed this leaf in my Ming Xiang Cup.. The leaf is long and dark, have a rice/veggy smell is the best i can describe it. I brewed for 3min at about 190f.
The color was a red brown very pretty.. The cup nose (smell) is of cooked rice and Tea but not like genmacha. Good sweet taste I get a little veg and a really nice tea and sweetness on the after taste. I will give it a second and third infusion to see if I can draw out some good tea.
Preparation
the good thing about this Earl Grey is the “cream” part draws all of the flavors together very well.. The room note or smell is just a bit sweeter then normal Earl Greys not as strong on the citrus side the “cream” part brings that all together in a great smell. the liquor is a nice red brown. The Flavor has a great black tea and a nice bit of citrus but it is pulled together with the cream. I think it is a lot smoother then a normal Earl Grey and has a place in my cupboard..
Preparation
This is a good bagged tea I was lucky and got it from my cousin. I had it early as the first cup of the day and it was fine. The caffeine was low in this one.. you get a dusty veggy smell with some sweetness.. The color is green.. The flavor has a lot of the sweetness from the jasmine i believe.. as far as a Organic bagged tea goes this one is good..
Preparation
I got this bagged tea for a good price about $1.99 for 24 bags.. this is not good tea by any stretch. It is just Ok, not good, not bad, OK. The smell as it was steeping is of cheap tea.. Good tea smells like autumn and good earth smells.
This has a bit of tea and a lot of dirt and cardboard. i steeped it for 3min. the liquor is as dark as coffee.. the flavor is on the week side its a Ok mix of black teas but once again it just OK.
Preparation
What a great tea. I’m lucky to live only a few miles away from The Spice Merchant. I got 1oz of Red Robe.. Bag smell is of clean tea, loved it long good looking dried leaf. I use water right off boil on this one gave it a Three and a half min. The liquor is a great brown red and the cup smell is like a liquid fall sent. the crisp clean tea flavor is good and refreshing. good end notes and just a slight after taste of good tea. i may try this iced soon. a really awesome tea
Preparation
Good bagged tea.. I like to have this decaf tea after a big meal or before sleepy time.. I got this liking the Chai Latte drinks i get at the fancy coffee shop’s. this is a cheaper toned down style with out all the milk and such.. the pouch smell and cup smell is awesome, spicy and sweet all at once. standard color in the cup. with the spice and such the “tea” flavor is a little harder to pick out but you can catch it in there. its a good tea and a good bagged tea
