6 Tasting Notes

The orange and the apple really shine through, with a hint of the pumpkin. Very nice fruity tea with a lovely aroma. We drank it hot, but I see how it could be very good on ice. A very nice change. I may buy more of this.

My first Pu-Erh, picked up on a whim while shopping for other stuff. Steeped for 4 minutes with water at a rolling boil, as per the instructions.

Nothing special. To my (admittedly uneducated) palate, this one just tastes like a really strong cup of Lipton, if you had allowed a goldfish to swim through it. I think this is one I’ll pass down to my tea-loving niece.

This is a happy, pleasant tea. Floral, sweet, perfect for breakfast…which is how I’m having it now. I really like this, best tea I’ve had in a while.

Smells like fresh cut grass. Just a whiff of bergamot…the green tea is very prevalent. Lots of tannins. Nice, but not great.

I think in retrospect my water was a bit too hot, which brought out the catechins in the tea a little more and contributed to the tannin taste.

Let this one steep a little longer because the strawberry flavor didn’t seem to be coming through much, and I’m more of a black tea drinker..the green always seems “weak” to me. After a nice long steep it was better. Second steep was MUCH better. Adding sugar really made it very good. Enjoyed with scones and peach preserves.

Very canaloupe-y…I’m just not tasting the coffee. Seemed a little weak after the 3 min 30 so gave it another minute. Added a couple of spoonfuls of cane sugar, hoping to bring out the melon. A very mild, pleasant tea….but nothing really exciting.
