90 Tasting Notes

My second cup of this and I’m still trying to decide on it. I like it, I think. Reading the ingredient list it’s not something I would have chosen on my own as I really hate licorice. But somehow it works with everything else. Yup, I think it’s almost as good as my beloved Gaucho mate. It has a nice spiciness to it and it dries the mouth just a tiny bit.

drank Blueberry Harvest by Bigelow

This is definitely blueberry. No denying that before or after brewing. It even tastes like blueberries. In a manufactured kind of way. I’m not a fan of blueberries but I think if you like them you’ll like this tea. I added milk & sugar after a few sips and it’s like something desserty.

I can definitely smell & taste the peach but the ginger doesn’t come through at all. I tried adding some cinnamon honey and the tea even swallowed up that flavor. All in all, pretty ‘meh’.

My aunt gave me a bag of this after her trip to the UK. It has an aroma that I can’t quite place but it’s an interesting/good smell. Maybe malty? It has a very light floral taste that you can easily miss. It’s also pretty harsh tasting. Sugar & milk do nothing to help this tea.

drank Vanilla Bean by Mighty Leaf Tea

This smells more like chocolate than vanilla before brewing. It makes a nice dark amber cup and loses most of the chocolate smell and gains some vanilla but not as much as I had thought. It does have a vanilla flavor but it’s almost an afterthought. I think this might require some playing with as other people have suggested.

Yup, it definitely smells like fruitloops. It tastes of lemon. And something else that I’m assuming is the chamomile (I’ve never had a chamomile tea before). It’s much smoother than I thought it would be and surprisingly not bad. I could see myself drinking this again.

So Darling, you finally decided to taste Chamomile….not bad at all huh…..Glad you took the time to taste it….I recently had Natural Hibiscus very interesting taste, I love it cold more then hot, you can taste the boldness of the ruby red, there’s also a hit of citrus & berries, once again I’m in love with this superflower tea….from The Republic of Tea….

drank Sweetheart Cinnamon by Bigelow

I love the way this tea smells dry. It’s like warm spiced apple cider. And it doesn’t seem to lose that aroma upon brewing. And it actually has a recognizable tangy, apple-y taste. The cinnamon doesn’t come through until after the tea has been swallowed but it’s definitely there. I think with a little sweetener this could actually be a pretty decent tea.

This smells sort of like white chocolate before brewing. After it tastes more like I dunno. Crappy chocolate? Though it still smells like chocolate.

drank Big Red Sun by Harney & Sons

I love this tea in the morning. It’s a robust tea with some earthy/toasty notes. It has a good mouth feel to it.

Definitely smells of peaches as it sits in it’s hot water bath. Plain it doesn’t taste of anything much right away but sort of has a peachy flavor at the back of the mouth. After throwing some Sugar in the Raw in the cup, I can’t say that’s helped it any. The best thing I can say about this is that I didn’t buy it.

I love tea. Some say I’m obsessed.

I don’t drink green tea and I don’t like iced tea. I also drink my tea naked with the exception of Earl Grey which gets just a bit of milk (not cream) and sugar.

I’m open to swapping tea! :-)
